What is Fathead Dough?
Fathead Dough is a Delicious and Easy to Make Dough made with Easy to Find Ingredients like, Mozzarella Cheese, Cream Cheese and Eggs. It’s mixed with Low Carb Almond or Coconut Flour or (my favourite way) a mix of the two. If you haven’t tried Fathead Dough yet, you’ve been missing out! It’s Amazing!!! You can use it to make a Tasty Keto Pizza Crust , Fathead Sausage Rolls or it can be used to Make These Tasty Keto Pumpkin Cinnamon Buns or Fathead Pumpkin Pie Bars !
To make Fathead dough, you melt the shredded mozzarella and the cream cheese in a frying pan over medium heat. (This step can also be done in a microwave) Remove from the heat, then stir the melted cheeses until they’re very well combined.
Using a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and eggs to the cheese mixture. Mix until well combined. Then, between 2 pieces of parchment paper, press the dough into a rectangle.
To make the Keto Fathead Taco Rolls, you start by preheating your oven to 400 F. Then brown the ground beef in a a frying pan over medium heat. In a cup mix the cumin, chilli powder, onion and garlic powder and salt and pepper with the water. Then pour over the browned ground beef. Let simmer for 5 – 10 minutes or until all the liquid is evaporated. Set aside too cool.
Then remove the top piece of parchment paper and spread the taco sauce evenly over the spread out dough. Cover the sauce with shredded cheese and the ground beef. Roll the dough into a lengthwise roll.
Divide, then slice the roll into 9 slices. Carefully place the rolls (on their side) into a square, or round, buttered baking dish. Bake 20 -25 minutes.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Notes:
– To make to fathead dough with a microwave will depend on how powerful you microwave is. My rule of thumb is to melt cheese in increments of 30 seconds then stir. I did 30 seconds twice then an extra 15.
– Want to prepare ahead of time? These taco rolls can easily be made ahead of time and frozen until you need them.
– The Rolls can be reheated in the microwave or you could do it in the oven for a toastier outcome.
– An easy way to cut these kinds of rolls is to use unflavored, waxed, dental floss. Slide a long piece under the roll, cross it, and pull up.
– To get the dough into a nice straight rectangle. I folded back the top piece of parchment paper and fold the bottom piece up, then pressed it back down with the edge still folded, to make a nice flat edge.
– Some Easy Keto Toppings for a Toppings Bar for these Ground Beef Taco Rolls are: Shredded Cheese, Sour Cream, Taco Sauce or Salsa, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickled Jalapeños and Guacamole.
