Watch me make cheese and bacon pinwheel scrolls
I won’t lie, but this video seriously shows you how to make the BEST fathead dough. After years of fart-assing around with various methods I have achieved a miracle.
Watch this video and tell me if you have been making a keto fathead dough with this method. Honestly the texture is so different and all it takes is a few ingredients added at a different time.
I hope you love this recipe and if you do let us know in the comments below how you went making it and anything your did differently or would recommend.
tools to make fathead scrolls
Silicone Mat – a good quality and good size silicone mat is one of the best tools in the kitchen. Use it to wrap foods to keep warm or develop yeast. Roll dough on it or bake on it.
Baking Trays – I choose to have just a few large baking trays that are the same size as my oven shelves. This way I can use each shelf to its maximum capacity. The lighter the colour the better conductor of heat.
Silicone Spatula – throw away those toxic old plastics and get silicone. Most are a one piece silicone spatula that is safe to use to mix or on a hot stove.

Notes
1. I always recommend Bob’s Red Mill Double Acting Baking Powder. It is aluminium and gluten free and truly makes a HUGE difference with gluten free keto baking.
2. Xanthan gum can be omitted BUT I do not recommend it. It’s purpose here is to create a gluten-like bread. It also helps in absorbing the fats and making the dough a lot less sticky and gives it a much better consistency and holding power. 3. Almond Meal can be substituted with almond flour, or flax meal. 4. Working the dough before rolling out can take a few minutes. The dough will be very sticky at first but the more you work it with your spatula the less sticky and more “dough like” it will become. Don’t give up, just keep churning it and get some exercise while making these delicious scrolls.
4. Best kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. Alternatively enclose in an airtight ziplock bag and freeze for later.
5. Add any of your favourite rolls ingredients with or instead of cheese and bacon. This recipe also makes great pizza scrolls.

Wow! Just made this for the first time ! Been keto for 3 years and love baking and cooking : this is by far the best baked good i have made ! Thank you so much for an amazing recipe
This recipe is amazing! A tasty treat that my keto friends and non keto friends absolutely love!! Easy to follow steps with a super tasty outcome! I can’t wait to try more of your amazing recipes, thank you so much 🙂
I don’t have a microwave. Wondering whether I can melt the cream cheese over the stove? Thanks.
Hi! I use to melt the cream cheese with mozzarella in a non stick fry pan on my stove top and it worked a treat 🙂 Just have to use a spatula and keep moving it around
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder, is that correct or should it be teaspoons.
Tablespoons is correct
Super delicious, very easy and fast to make, my husbands new favourite!
Super delicious, very easy and fast to make, our new favourite! Simply amazing pastry, thank you Megan!
I’ve big fat head though before but has never turned out as good as this house. I half the recipe and still got six very large rolls; looking forward to trying it.
Have you ever added fresh herbs or dried herbs to the dough?
could you use gaur gum in place of the xanthan gum? I don’t have any on hand and would really like to make these as they look delish!!
I haven’t tried it Robin. Guar gum is usually reserved for cold foods not baked.
