Ingredients
  

Dough:
  • 270 g Mozzarella cheese
  • 42 g Cream cheese
  • 126 g Almond Flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Instant yeast
  • 1 egg
FIlling:
  • 4 tbsp Butter, Melted
  • 4 tbsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp Granulated sweetener of choice (I used Monkfruit)
  • 3-5 drops liquid sweetener (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • microwave
  • Rolling Pin
  • parchment paper
  • brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the Dough:
  1. In a small bowl, combine your almond flour, salt, baking powder (or soda), and yeast. Mix gently.
  2. In a microwave safe bowl, add the mozzarella and cream cheese. Place in the microwave for 60 seconds. Remove, stir gently, and then return to the microwave for another 30 seconds.
  3. Remove the mixture from the microwave. Stir in the almond flour mixture. The dough may become thick and difficult to stir. I always mix with my hands, which WILL get pretty sticky. CAUTION: the dough will be pretty toasty!
  4. Add in the egg and vanilla (and the ACV, if using baking SODA). Knead with hands until the mixture forms a consistent dough.
  5. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat working surface. Plop the dough not the parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper over the top.
  6. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin on top of the top sheet of parchment paper. Roll to about ¼ inch thick. If desired, slice off parts of the top and bottom to add to the sides to create a more uniform rectangle shape of dough.
For the FIlling:
  1. Mix the butter, powdered sweetener, liquid sweetener, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl. Spread evenly over the rolled out dough using a brush.
  2. If desired, you can mix the butter and liquid sweetener together and then sprinkle the dry ingredients on, but I prefer to mix it all together.
  3. Use the edge of the bottom parchment paper to gently pull up one of the long sides of the dough.
  4. Roll the bottom of the dough up and then continue rolling until you've used all of the dough.
  5. Slice the dough into equal sized 12 pieces.
  6. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Check at 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
