Ingredients
Scale
- 1 batch Crazy Keto Dough
- Egg wash (optional)
- Sesame seeds (to garnish, optional)
- 1 – 1 1/2 cups cooked ground beef
- Pickles (sliced)
- Sharp cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 120 g keto mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 2–4 teaspoons pickle juice (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar (to taste)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix all the dough ingredients until you have a smooth, elastic texture. If it feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of almond flour at a time.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and flatten each into the shape of a circle, about ¼ inch thick.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, white wine vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chipotle powder (if using) until well mixed.
- Place a generous amount of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle.
- Top each with sliced pickles and cheese of your choice.
- Fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal, pressing firmly to prevent any leakage.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Notes
For best results, avoid overworking the dough and do not overfill the pockets. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
