TOPPING:

INGREDIENT NOTES:

FLOUR OF ALMOND:

• This flour of almonds is the best keto substitute for the all-purpose flour(high-carb) & it gives the basic structure to the dough. You may substitute it with one-third of flour of coconut & adjust the moisture accordingly.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• It melts well to create an elastic dough & serves as the keto-friendly base or the noodles dough. You may also go for the provolone cheese as a replacement, but the texture slightly differs.

CHICKEN:

• We will need the cooked version of shredded chicken. You may cook it earlier or use the rotisserie/letover chicken to lighten the work.

CREAM CHEESE:

• It adds creamy richness & helps to bind the keto dough well. You may use the mascarpone cheese in its place.
  While for the filling, the cream cheese also serves as a cream binder. You can go for ricotta cheese for the filling as well.

EGG:

• A necessary component of dough to keep it bound well after baking as well so never forget it.

GARLIC:

• It gives the traditional aroma to our keto version of this Italian dish. We always prefer to work with fresh garlic, but you may use powdered garlic as well in place of fresh one.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• We advise you to always work with freshly grated cheese, as the pre-grated version may contain starchy anti-caking agents. This Parmesan cheese is the key component that brings the authentic Alfredo flavor.

ITALIAN SEASONING:

• It is also not too necessary, but boosts the classic Italian flavor without adding carbs.

TIPS:

• For easy rolling of the dough, use the baking mat of silicone.
• You may include the spinach or your choice of herbs to boost the nutrients & flavor.
• Be careful that the noodle sheet never gets overbaked, otherwise it will become crisp & will tear/crack upon rolling.
• Using the rotisserie chicken will save you time & add flavor also.

HOW TO PRESERVE(LEFTOVER):

CHILLING:

• Save the rollups(leftover) in a container with an airtight lid. Refrigerate them for ~four days & consume them within the meantime.

FREEZING:

• Use the cling wrap to pack each rollup individually. Freeze them in the bag(freezer-safe) for ~sixty days. Start defrosting them a night earlier, then warm them using the oven at 350°F till they become hot throughout.

FAQs:

Is that possible to prepare the rollups earlier?

• Assemble the rollups & cover the ready-to-bake rollups dish using the cling wrap. You can do this 24 hours earlier. Refrigerate the dish & bake it fresh right before serving.

Will the canned chicken work?

• Sure! Drain the canned chicken well & separate the shreds using a fork to make it ready to use.

What changes must I make to make this dish without dairy?

• You need to use the non-dairy version of cream & mozzarella cheese and coconut cream in place of heavy dairy cream.

What additional ingredients work nicely in the filling?

• You may use the ground beef(Alfredo-seasoned), mushrooms, spinach, etc.
