Notes

INGREDIENTS

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.

Xanthan gum can be omitted. BUT I do not recommend it. Its 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.

Almond Meal can be substituted with almond flour, or flax meal.

Swap the bacon with ham, sausage or pepperoni.

HOT TO MAKE THEM

If you do not have a microwave; place a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water to melt the cheese.

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.

STORAGE

Best kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. Alternatively, enclose in an airtight ziplock bag and freeze.

I use a 15ml tablespoon and 250ml cup for measures. You can use the calculator to convert ounces in a cup if needed. Please note that there is also a conversion from metric to US Customary button under the list of ingredients.
