Homemade Keto Pepperoni Pull-Apart Bread (Pizza Ring)
Ingredients
Cheese Dough (Fathead Base)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese
1¼ cups almond flour
1 large egg
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning
Pinch of salt
Toppings & Fillings
½ cup sugar-free marinara or pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for layering)
20–25 pepperoni slices (or keto-friendly salami)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
½ tsp garlic powder (for brushing on top)
Optional: chopped parsley, basil, or red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a bundt pan or round baking dish with olive oil or butter.
Make the Keto Dough (Fathead Dough):
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat another 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and seasonings. Mix until it forms a smooth dough.
(Tip: if sticky, knead lightly with oiled hands.)
Assemble the Pizza Ring:
Divide the dough into small balls (around 1½–2 inches each).
Dip or roll each ball lightly in pizza sauce, then layer them around the bundt pan.
Sprinkle with mozzarella and pepperoni slices between layers until all dough is used.
Finish the top with remaining cheese, pepperoni, and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Bake:
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
Let it cool slightly before flipping it out onto a plate or serving dish.
Finish & Serve:
Brush the top with olive oil or melted butter, sprinkle with garlic powder and herbs, and serve with a bowl of warm keto marinara for dipping.
