    How to Make a Low Carb Stromboli

    Published: Apr 17, 2019 by thesugarfreediva. ยท This post may contain affiliate or amazon links which may pay commission at no cost to you.

    Stromboli is a popular Italian style meal to make. It is also surprisingly easy to make as well. This is how to make a Low Carb Stromboli.
    See The Recipe

    I have always wondered How to Make a Low Carb Stromboli.
    Maybe you have wondered How to Make a Low Carb Stromboli as well.
     

    How to Make a Low Carb Stromboli

    How to Make a Low Carb Stromboli

     
    After all, Stromboli's are known partially because of their bread content.
    And, we know that bread is loaded with carbohydrates and thus, pretty much the enemy of the low carb diet follower.
     

    However, everything that you can add to the center of your Stromboli can be low in carbohydrates.
    So, in order to make this low in carbs, we simply need to use a low carb bread in our recipe. No problem!!

    A while back, I posted a recipe for a Low Carb Calzone.

    You may also be wondering what the difference between a Calzone and a Stromboli is. Believe it or not there is indeed, despite how similar a Calzone and Stromboli may seem to be.

    A Stromboli resembles a loaf of bread with Italian meats, cheese, and maybe some vegetables inside of it.
    The bread used in a Stromboli is usually from pizza or Italian bread dough.

    However, a Calzone on the other hand, is made from bread dough.
    A Calzone is usually smaller in size as well. Maybe the biggest difference between a Stromboli and a Calzone is that a Stromboli has its origin from the United States rather than from Italy. The Calzone has its origins from Italy.

    As mentioned, you can make a Stromboli using pizza dough or bread dough.

    Because this is a low carb Stromboli recipe, we will focus on using low carb recipes for both choices.
    Thankfully, I do have options for you when it comes to low carb (and gluten free) pizza or bread dough.

    For the inside of this Stromboli, we will use pizza ingredients.
    Pizza ingredients include anything that you would most likely put on top of a pizza. For example, you can stuff your Stromboli with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and maybe some mushrooms.

    There are also sauce options for this recipe.
    As far as a sauce goes, pizza sauce, Mariana sauce, or any Italian style tomato sauce is used. You can add it to your Stromboli or use the sauce as a dip for your baked Stromboli.

     

    A moment ago, I mentioned that there are options for the dough that can be used to make your Stromboli.

    You can use a pizza dough or a bread dough recipe.
    Either one should work for your homemade Stromboli.

    Here are some recipes for low carb and/or dough that you can use.

    • How to Make a Low Carb Pizza Crust.
    • Easy Low Carb Pizza Crust.
    • Keto Low Carb Flatbread.
    • Homemade Low Carb Bread.
    • Or, you could use the Fathead style bread recipe from this post.

    Lastly, this recipe mirrors a pizza recipe in a lot of ways.

    This is because to make a Stromboli, will will roll out the dough like we would roll out a pizza crust dough.
    Also, we use similar ingredients to stuff our Stromboli to what we would put on top of a pizza.

    • Evenly distribute the sliced meat over the dough and the cover with the cheese. Any optional ingredients can be added here as well. This includes any sauce that you may want to add.
    • In the step we will roll or fold (once over) the Stromboli and shape it into a 'loaf'. In doing so, be sure to pinch the edges of the dough. Cut slits in the top of the Stromboli and then brush the remaining butter over it.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until just browned.
