This keto stromboli is a quick and easy way to satisfy your cravings for a comforting and cheesy meal.

In the annals of culinary history, the stromboli has long been relegated to the sidelines, overshadowed by its more glamorous cousin, the calzone. But for those in the know, the stromboli is a thing of beauty, a rolled-up pizza that's easy to make and even easier to eat.
The keto stromboli is a modern take on this classic dish, using almond flour to create a low-carb crust that's just as satisfying as the traditional wheat-based version. The filling is a combination of mozzarella and cream cheese, which melts together to create a gooey, cheesy center. And the pepperoni and green bell pepper add flavor and texture, making this stromboli a complete and satisfying meal.
