Nut Free Fathead Dough

I'm sure you've seen them around on Facebook or Pinterest, the sugar filled carb crescent roll kind. That's in fact where I got my first idea to turn my fat head low carb pizza dough into twists. I had seen a video for traditional ones and decided to give a go at a low carb version.

And it was worth it! These are fabulous! The family was won over with these keto twists! The pumpkin pie filling is just perfect for this nut free fathead dough! If you've never tried my nut free fathead dough, you must give this recipe a go or try my very popular Keto Cinnamon Rolls!

I hope you've enjoyed my numerous pumpkin recipes this season!

Best Sugar Free Confectioners

These are lovely with a little drizzle of sugar free confectioners mixed with a little coconut milk to make a fabulous icing! The brand I love is Swerve! I have to say I have tried other sugar free erythritol products and nothing is as fine and smooth as using the Swerve confectioners. Everything else I've tried is grainy and I am not a fan of grainy in a frosting.

Servings: twists

Author: Brenda Bennett | Sugar-Free Mom

Ingredients

Dough

4 cups part skim mozzarella shredded
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup coconut flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla stevia
4 eggs beaten

Filling

½ cup pumpkin puree
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon pumpkin spice liquid stevia
1 tablespoon sugar free maple syrup skip if you don't have it and use more stevia to taste
Optional drizzle: ½ cup Swerve confectioners with 1 tablespoon coconut milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Add all ingredients for the dough into the food processor, then add to a microwavable bowl and microwave for 2 minutes or until nicely melted.
Wet hands with water and spread the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
I made mine 16 x 11 inch rectangle. Set aside.
In a bowl mix the pumpkin, yolk, spice and sweeteners.
Spread this filling all over the dough.
Fold the dough over in half then slice 18 slices with an oiled pizza cutter.
Separate slices about an inch apart. You may need two baking sheets with parchment as the twists will spread slightly when baking.
Hold each end of each slice and gently twist once.
Bake 12-15 minutes.
Cool then make the optional glaze if desired before serving.

Brenda's Notes:

You can use any dough you prefer but the nutrition info below reflects using my dough linked in the recipe.
You can use any sweetener you prefer as well. Simply do not add the yolk, add the sweetener of choice first, probably just ¼ cup to start then taste and adjust. Once you've got the filling to your desired sweetness add the egg yolk.
I kept these refrigerated although I don't think it's necessary but I prefer them chilled.
