LOW CARB BAGEL DOGS OR PRETZEL DOGS

Steps:

• Place rack to the middle position of the oven. Line a cookie sheet with parchment. Remove the hot dogs from their package and place them on a paper towel. Dry them off. Beat the extra egg with water for the egg wash.
• Add the mozzarella cheese to a medium microwaveable bowl. Cut the cream cheese into small pieces and add to the mozzarella cheese. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on high power. Stir. If the cheese hasn't melted, cook for an additional 20-30 seconds more.
• Put the cheese in a food processor and add the egg. Process until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and process into a very sticky dough. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 F. Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, wrap, and place into the freezer while the oven preheats.
• Keep hands lightly oiled. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Working with one ball of dough at a time, roll into a snake about a foot long. Starting about 3/4 of an inch from the end of a hot dog, start winding the snake around the length of the hot dog. Place the wrapped hot dog on the work surface and roll back and forth until the dough is smooth. I had about 1/2 inch of the hot dog poking out on each side. Place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Repeat 7 more times.
• Dip a pastry brush into the egg wash and brush the surface of each bagel dog - don't forget the sides. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to add a nice looking texture.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until browned. My dogs plumped up and split the dough on a few of my hot dogs. They were still delicious!
• Makes 8 bagel dogs with each having 3.74 net carbs depending on what kind of hotdogs you use. Mine had 1 net carb each.

FAT HEAD DOUGH RECIPE (ALMOND FLOUR OR COCONUT FLOUR)

Steps:

• Mix the shredded/grated cheese and almond flour/meal in a microwaveable bowl. Add the cream cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
• Stir then microwave on HIGH for another 30 seconds.
• If you don't have a microwave, you can heat the shredded cheese and cream cheese in a medium saucepan over a low-medium heat. Make sure to mix and stir continuously to prevent the cheese from burning and sticking to the saucepan. Remove from the heat and add the almond flour or coconut flour.
• Add the egg, salt, rosemary and any other flavourings, mix gently.
• Place in between 2 pieces of baking parchment/paper and roll into a circular pizza shape (see photos above). Remove the top baking paper/parchment. If the mixture hardens and becomes difficult to work with, pop it back in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften again but not too long or you will cook the egg.
• Make fork holes all over the pizza base to ensure it cooks evenly.
• Slide the baking paper/parchment with the keto pizza base, on a baking tray (cookie tray) or pizza stone, and bake at 220C/425F for 12-15 minutes, or until brown.
• To make the base really crispy and sturdy, flip the pizza over (onto baking paper/parchment) once the top has browned.
• Once cooked, remove from the oven and add all the toppings you like. Make sure any meat is already cooked as this time it goes back into the oven just to heat up the toppings and melt the cheese. Bake again at 220C/425F for 5 minutes.
