A keto spinach Stromboli uses the classic flavours of spinach and Feta cheese. At just 2g net carbs a slice it’s a delicious low carb dish and is also gluten free.
I’ve made a Stromboli recipe using a low carb dough with coconut flour and psyllium husk powder which we enjoyed but this time I thought I would make a Stromboli recipe using Fathead dough. Since I’ve made pizza with Fathead dough it was a safe bet it would work for a Stromboli.
I wanted the filling to be something we could both share, so spinach won! After enjoying this keto spinach Stromboli I noted that I must treat the Chief Taster and bake him a chicken Stromboli as this was just so good. I shall treat him with chicken!
A great thing about a keto Stromboli is that it is a great dish for a gathering as it can happily be shared. The thickness of the slices depends upon how many people you are serving it to!

WHAT IS A STROMBOLI?
A Stromboli is turnover usually stuffed with meat and cheese baked with pizza dough. The best explanation I found was that a Stromboli is an outside-in sandwich and can look like a filled loaf of bread! It is baked as a log shape and once it is baked, it is sliced into pieces. You could serve it with a sauce to dip the pieces in which makes it a great dish for parties and gatherings.
Fillings for a Stromboli can be pepperoni, spinach, mushrooms, sausage, artichokes, ham, chicken, cheese. All your favourite pizza toppings, basically!
HOW TO MAKE A KETO SPINACH STROMBOLI
Although a Stromboli is traditionally rolled, I didn’t think that it would work with the spinach. I folded the Fathead dough over the filling and made the log shape for baking. Check that the edges are sealed before baking. I scored the top of the spinach Stromboli purely for decorative purposes. It’s not normally how a Stromboli is served but I wanted a little flourish to it.
