Low Carb Italian Food

low carb italianOne of the more challenging aspects of the low carb diet is that sometimes you just really, REALLY crave some Italian food. Sadly, there is only a few dishes that constitute as low carb Italian food. But there is hope! Here is an amazing recipe for stromboli dough (which is similar to the dough used in a calzone). You can repurpose this dough for a calzone, pizza crust, and more!

A few notes on the slight alterations I made for the stromboli dough – I did not include the fennel/red pepper flakes/garlic, and instead added some dried oregano/basil mix to the batter instead. Also, don’t be afraid when doing the cool ‘lattice work’ on the dough. I messed it up and it still came out looking pretty cool. And it doesn’t affect the taste.

The dough is a combination of coconut flour, almond flour, egg and mozzarella cheese. Once you mush it up into an awesome dough-ball, it’s pretty fun to play with!

For a filling, I sauteed mushrooms, Italian sausage and some onion together, and topped the inside with Parmesan cheese. Next time I make it, I will use ricotta cheese. Yum! My awesome friend Nicole also made this and did an alfredo/chicken/broccoli version that she said came out great.

It was so pretty that I was afraid to cut it

Note – use some arm muscle when mixing the dough, and dig in with your hands once the temperature cooled to really work it.

Have you tried this recipe before? Thoughts? 🙂

    Sorry, I tried this after reading the recipe from the creator’s site. The Stromboli dough tasted very coconut flavored and ruins it.
    I have not yet found ANYTHING that resembles a good crust, bread or dough.
