Keto Ham and Cheese Pockets

Key Considerations

1. Low-Carb Dough: Use a keto-friendly dough made with almond flour and mozzarella cheese for a delicious and low-carb crust.
2. Quality Ingredients: Choose high-quality ham and cheese for the best flavor and texture.
3. Folding Technique: Master the art of folding the dough to create perfectly sealed pockets.
4. Baking Time: Bake until the pockets are golden brown and crispy for the ultimate texture.

Tips and Tricks

1. Proper Dough Thickness: Roll out the dough to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
2. Sealing the Edges: Use a fork to press down and seal the edges of the pockets securely.
3. Ventilation: Cut small slits or poke holes in the top of each pocket to allow steam to escape during baking.
4. Baking Temperature: Bake at a high temperature to achieve a golden brown crust without overcooking the filling.
