The Dough

This keto cinnamon rolls recipe is made utilizing the Holy Grail of Keto dough, which is a really genius invention utilizing mozzarella cheese.

I might go so far as saying this: Holy Grail dough (which has change into well-known as Fats Head dough) is the cleverest brainwave because the conception of low carb consuming.

I need to hug the one who considered combining an Italian cheese with almond flour to create a dough that really mimics the style of wheat dough. How might you probably give you an concept like this? Was it a coincidence? Somebody by accident dropping flour into melted mozzarella? It is a bit like that one that banged two stones collectively and created fireplace. Growth, and the world is a greater place.

The dough is a bit of difficult to deal with – because of the inherent gooey-ness of mozzarella – however when you observe the directions within the recipe part under, you shouldn’t have any issues.

In case you are wanting time, you too can use the standard manner of creating cinnamon rolls. Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper into a big rectangle. Unfold the cinnamon filling on high. Then, roll the dough into one massive log and reduce it into slices.
