Keto Pizza Hot Pockets
Description
The dough combines melted mozzarella and cream cheese with almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt for a low-carb, pliable base known as Fat Head dough. After heating and mixing, the dough is rolled thin between parchment sheets, then cut into rectangles. Each rectangle is layered with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni slices before being folded over and sealed along the edges.
Baked at 425°F for 12-15 minutes, the hot pockets develop a golden crust that is crisp on the outside and soft inside, with the fillings warmed and melted. The mozzarella and cream cheese in the dough give a stretchy yet firm texture mimicking pizza crust, while the pizza toppings provide the familiar tomato, cheese, and spicy pepperoni flavor.
This recipe offers a handheld, portable pizza meal or snack suitable for low-carb and keto diets, utilizing high-fat cheeses and almond flour for texture and flavor. The pockets are satisfying with a balance of savory tomato sauce, melted cheese, and meaty pepperoni encased in a rich, cheesy crust.
