Ingredients
Keto Hot Pocket Dough
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tbsp oat fiber
- 1/4 tsp xanthum gum
- 12 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 eggs, room temperature
Keto Hot Pocket Filling
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 12 slices provolone
- 1 lb sliced ham
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- everything but the bagel seasoning
Method
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Dough
- Measure out dry ingredients and set aside.
- Mix mozzarella and the cream cheese in microwave safe bowl, heat for 1 min then stir, repeat in 30 second intervals until mixture combines. Transfer cheese mixture to a standing mixer with paddle attachment and beat till smooth—scrape as needed.
- Add eggs to mixture and mix well. Once the cheese mixture is smooth add the dry ingredients and mix well until incorporated. Using your hands, pull the dough into a large ball and then divide into 12 equal balls—cover them with plastic wrap so they don’t dry out.
Filling
- In a small bowl mix together mayonnaise and dijon and set aside. In another container combine 1 cup shredded mozzarella and the diced ham, set aside. Roll out balls into 6 inch rounds between parchment paper. Dough is sticky, so that parchment paper is necessary. —If you have a tortilla press now is the time to use it!
- Spread about one tbsp dijon mayo leaving a half inch border of dough. Cut provolone slices in half and place ½ on each side of dough leaving a slight gap in the center for folding. Fill with about 3 tbsp ham and mozzarella mixture and fold together dough creating a hand pie then crimp edges being sure you have a good seal.
- Place 6 hand pies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash and sprinkle everything but the bagel seasoning on top. Bake for 10 min, repeat with remaining 6 pies. Allow pies to cool slightly on the baking sheet and then cool completely on a cooling rack.
Notes:
- See above for freezing and refrigeration instructions.
- Pizza, these work wonderfully as a pizza crust. For personal pizza divide the dough into 6 balls rather than 12 which makes two Keto crust servings per personal pizza, or make two whole 10/12 inch crusts which would equal 6 servings per pizza. Press them out and bake them on parchment at 400 for about 5 min-7 min, they will be firm but slightly underdone. Let them cool and then top with your choice of pizza toppings, bake for another 5-7 min or until done to your liking.
