INGREDIENT NOTES:
BREAKFAST SAUSAGE:
- Utilize regular pork breakfast sausage without added sugar to keep these pinwheels keto-friendly. We can use either mild or spicy breakfast sausage according to our preferred level of heat and flavor.
CREAM CHEESE:
- We have to use full-fat cream cheese to prepare the rich and creamy filling, and it also helps bind the dough together. We have to use soft cream cheese, so it mixes smoothly and forms a lump-free filling.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Use low-moisture shredded mozzarella cheese to prepare the fathead dough. It melts easily and forms the soft, chewy texture that makes the delicious pinwheels.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Add finely ground blanched almond flour to prepare the dough. It is best to utilize almond flour instead of almond meal because it provides smooth dough instead of a coarse one.
EGG:
- Add one big egg to bind the dough ingredients and improve its flexibility. It also helps make the dough easier to roll without cracking.
SEASONINGS:
- Include the garlic powder & onion powder to offer a savory taste in the filling. These simple seasonings increase the flavor of sausage and cheese mixture nicely.
