Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cheesesteak Filling

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.
3. Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and add the sliced beef.
4. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through.
5. Mix everything together in the skillet and remove from heat.

Step 2: Prepare the Keto Dough
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
7. Stir in almond flour, baking powder, salt, and the egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
8. Knead the dough gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3: Shape & Fill the Rolls
9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
10. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
11. Flatten each piece into a rectangle, about ¼-inch thick, using your hands or a rolling pin.
12. Place a spoonful of the cheesesteak filling in the center of each dough piece, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
13. Carefully roll or fold the dough over the filling, pinching edges to seal and form a log shape.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls
14. Place the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet.
15. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and sesame seeds if using.
16. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 5: Cool & Serve
17. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
18. Slice in half or serve whole with a side of keto-friendly dipping sauce or salad.

Tips for Success
Use Thinly Sliced Beef – It cooks quickly and mimics traditional cheesesteak texture.
Don’t Overfill – Too much filling can cause the dough to tear.
Seal Edges Well – This prevents cheese from oozing out during baking.
Make Ahead – Prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate for quick assembly.
Reheat Gently – Warm in the oven or air fryer to keep the rolls crisp.

Serving Suggestions
Keto Coleslaw – Adds a crunchy, tangy contrast to the cheesy rolls.
Cauliflower Rice – A great low-carb side to make it a complete meal.
Zucchini Fries – Perfect for dipping and adding texture.
Green Salad – A fresh, crisp pairing to balance the richness.
Sugar-Free Ketchup or Garlic Aioli – Great as dipping sauces.
