Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 6 ounces cream cheese (block – not spreadable – no additives)
- 2 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low moisture – part-skim – no additives, preservatives, etc.)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 1/4 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 cup + 1/2 tablespoon almond flour
Spinach Artichoke Dip Ingredients
- 1 (7 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 small onion, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the rolls evenly and achieving a golden crust.
- Melt Cheese: In a small pot over low heat, gently melt 6 ounces of cream cheese and 2 1/4 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese together until they form a thick, gooey paste. Alternatively, microwave the mixture in bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Prepare Dough: Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a large bowl and add 2 1/4 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder, 1 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon almond flour, and 3 large eggs. Mix thoroughly until the dough becomes smooth and cohesive. Refrigerate the dough for 10-20 minutes to firm up.
- Shape Dough Balls: After chilling, roll the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Place them on a plate and chill again in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set and maintain shape during baking.
- Make Spinach Artichoke Dip: While the dough chills, in a large bowl combine 1 (7 oz) can finely chopped artichoke hearts, 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh spinach, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 minced onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.
- Assemble Rolls: Arrange the dough balls touching each other around the edge of a skillet or oven-safe baking dish, forming a ring with an empty center.
- Fill with Dip: Spoon the prepared spinach artichoke dip into the center of the dough ring, spreading evenly.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the rolls are fluffy, golden brown, and cooked through. The dip should be bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, pulling apart the cheesy rolls with the creamy spinach artichoke dip for a delicious keto-friendly appetizer or snack.
Notes
- You can use a microwave to melt the cheeses instead of stovetop method for convenience.
- Ensure the cream cheese used is block form without additives to keep the dough texture perfect.
- For a crispier crust, let the dough balls rest longer before baking but avoid over-chilling to keep softness inside.
- This recipe is suitable for keto diets due to low-carb almond flour and high fat cheese.
- Use fresh spinach for best flavor; frozen spinach should be drained thoroughly if substituted.
- Serve immediately after baking for the best taste and texture.
