Description

These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls are the ultimate low-carb comfort food. Packed with tender roast beef, sautéed peppers, onions, and melted provolone, everything is wrapped in a savory, gluten-free ‘Fathead’ dough that bakes up golden and chewy. They serve perfectly as a hearty appetizer, game-day snack, or a fun family dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

— The Filling —

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

½ lb (225g) deli roast beef (or thinly sliced cooked steak), chopped

6 slices Provolone cheese

— The Keto Dough (Fathead) —

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture, part-skim)

2 oz (55g) cream cheese, cubed

1 cup superfine almond flour

1 large egg, room temperature

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

Sesame seeds for topping (optional)


Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Sauté Veggies: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced peppers and onions. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Melt Cheeses for Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth (about 90 seconds total).

4. Make Dough: Add the almond flour, egg, garlic powder, and oregano to the melted cheese. Mix vigorously with a spatula or your hands until a cohesive dough forms. If it gets too stiff, microwave for 10 seconds to soften.

5. Roll Out: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.

6. Layer: Remove the top sheet of paper. Arrange the provolone cheese slices over the dough, leaving a small border at the edges. Top with the chopped roast beef and the sautéed pepper/onion mixture.

7. Roll Up: Using the bottom parchment paper to help you, tightly roll the dough up lengthwise (like a jelly roll or cinnamon roll). Pinch the seam and ends to seal the filling inside.

8. Slice & Bake: You can bake the log whole or carefully slice it into 8 thick rolls (pinwheels) and arrange them flat on the baking sheet. If slicing, reshape slightly if they squish.

9. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the dough is deep golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

10. Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving (the dough firms up as it cools).

Notes

Dough Tips: Fathead dough can be sticky. Wetting your hands with a little oil or water helps when handling it.

Beef Choice: High-quality deli roast beef is the easiest option and stays tender. If using steak leftovers, ensure they are cut very small so the rolls are easy to eat.

Reheating: These reheat well in an air fryer or toaster oven to crisp the dough back up.

Dip: Serve with a side of sugar-free marinara or a spicy horseradish mayo.
