It’s time to bust out the BBQ. Hot dogs are a staple of the summer season, but with keto many people decide to skip the bun. Using cheese based dough to wrap around your hot dog is an ideal option to get in some extra fat and enjoy a bun.
Let’s talk toppings. You could use any of your favorite meats or veggies really, but today I decided to try a ‘pizza’ inspired hot dog. Specifically Hawaiian – with pineapple, ham, and bacon! I also topped it with some sriracha mayo. You could also use some sugar-free ketchup and mustard. However, for this recipe and nutrition it’s based on Hawaiian toppings with mayo.
In this recipe I used fresh pineapple chunks, which is roughly 10 carbs per ½ cup. If you can’t find it fresh, you can use canned. Just know that it may contain more sugar. Half a cup of canned pineapple is roughly 15 net carbs.
Yields 6 servings of Hawaiian Hot Dogs
The Preparation
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 ounces ham, diced
- 6 ounces cooked bacon, chopped
- 6 tablespoons sriracha mayonnaise, like sarayo
- 20 ounces jumbo beef hot dogs, such as Applegate
The Execution
1. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, melt the mozzarella cheese and stir in the almond flour until it forms a dough.
2. Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll until flat.
3. Using a 6 inch bowl or pot lid, cut out 6 circles.
4. Place parchment paper on top of a baking sheet. Lay out the circles of dough. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
5. Put your hot dog in the middle and wrap the bread around it. Top with the pineapple, ham, and bacon!
