Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Xanthan gum
- 3 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 slices Ham slices
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute at a time, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes total.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, eggs, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well until a dough forms. You may need to knead the dough by hand a little to ensure ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Flatten each portion slightly between your palms.
Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese or some shredded cheddar on each flattened dough portion. Fold the dough around the ham and cheese to enclose it fully, shaping it into a roll.
Arrange the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Brush the tops of each bread roll with melted butter to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Let the rolls cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, allowing the cheese to be molten and delicious.
