Print Recipe

US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

Dough

1 ½ cups Mozzarella Cheese grated
1 oz cream cheese
1 medium egg beaten
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
½ cup almond flour
½ teaspoon baking powder

Filling

454 grams beef sausages pack of 8
1 medium egg, beaten for the wash

Instructions

Make the Dough

Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl. Cook in the microwave for 60 seconds. Stir and zap for another 30 seconds. If the mixture has not melted give it another blast in the microwave.
Stir well, and add the egg, almond flour, baking powder and garlic powder.
Mix until you have a dough mixture. Don’t be shy about using your hands to mix the dough. If it feels too sticky, add more almond flour. Ensure that the dough is even in colour and there are no streaks of white.
Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill the mixture. This helps it to firm before rolling it out.

Make the Filling

Grill the sausages, turning over until they are an even colour for about 6-10 minutes. You could also fry them in a pan

Assemble

Roll out the Fathead dough in between two layers of parchment paper. Try to keep the shape an even square.
With a sharp knife cut out a large rectangle that would cover one of the sausages. Place the sausage on the cut dough and roll until the sausage is evenly covered. Cut in half and place on a parchment lined baking tray.
Repeat for all the sausages.
Brush the savoury rolls with the egg wash
Bake for 20 minutes at 190C/370F degrees until the dough is golden and firm.
