Ingredients

Scale

Dough Base

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • ¾ cup blanched almond flour
  • 1 large egg

Fillings and Toppings

  • ¼ cup low-carb pizza sauce
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 20–30 slices pepperoni
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough Base: Melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix in the almond flour and egg until a soft, stretchy dough forms, perfect for rolling out.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Sandwich the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a thin, even rectangle to make rolling and slicing the pinwheels easier.
  3. Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread a thin layer of low-carb pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, pepperoni slices, and shredded mozzarella cheese for a classic pizza flavor combination.
  4. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other into a spiral. Slice the roll into evenly sized pinwheels to ensure they cook evenly and portion perfectly.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Place the pinwheels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, until edges are golden brown and cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use finely shredded mozzarella for a smooth dough texture.
  • Roll the dough tightly but gently to avoid gaps in the spiral.
  • Roll dough between parchment papers to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Allow the rolled dough to cool slightly before slicing to maintain shape and reduce mess.
  • Don’t overload fillings to prevent soggy pinwheels and ensure even baking.
