Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sliced pepperoni
- 0.5 cup sliced ham
- 6 units provolone cheese, slices
- 1 batch egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water)
- 0.5 cup marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Then, incorporate the melted cheese mixture. Knead with your hands or a mixer until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, and roll out into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.
Layer the provolone cheese over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Then, add the sliced ham and pepperoni on top of the cheese.
Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, forming a log. Pinch the seam and sides to seal the Stromboli.
Transfer the Stromboli to the prepared baking sheet, placing it seam-side down. Brush the top with egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the Stromboli to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
