This crowd-pleasing, giant cheeseburger sub is made with the easiest keto-friendly dough and filled with cheeseburger meat, pickles and cheese. It's a delicious meal perfect for brunch, party or casual dinner!
I used my favourite simplified Fat Head dough. All you need for the dough is two ingredients — that's it. There are no eggs and no cream cheese, just shredded mozzarella and almond flour.
The dough is so versatile! Apart from savoury fillings, you can use it for sweet recipes such as my Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Breakfast Pockets and "Apple" Pie Keto Hot Pockets.
If you can't eat nuts, I created a nut-free alternative using flax meal. The only drawback about this simplified Fat Head dough is that it can get soggy on the bottom — make sure to use low moisture ingredients to prevent excess juices and soggy dough.
Step-by-step
Heat a skillet greased with ghee over a medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for one more minute.
Add ground beef and cook until browned and opaque.
Add mustard and tomato paste, salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then take off the heat.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C/ 360 °F (fan assisted). Place the shredded mozzarella in a bowl and microwave for about 2 minutes, checking once or twice, or melt on the stove over a low heat. Mix in the almond flour.
Using a fork, combine well until you create dough.
Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of parchment paper until large enough to wrap around the filling (I used a silicon mat and silicon rolling pin).
Using a slotted spoon, add the cooked cheeseburger meat mixture in the centre of the dough (do not add any excess juices from the skillet). Add sliced pickles.
Top with cheese slices. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, make cuts about 1 inch (2 cm) apart on the long sides of the dough. Do not cut all the way to the filling but just within about 1/2 inch (1 cm) of the filling.
Fold all of the strips of dough diagonally over filling, alternating from side to side, and stretching the dough as needed.
Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool down for 5 minutes before slicing. Eat immediately while still warm. Recipe makes 8 appetizers or 4 regular meals.
To store, refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.

I made this over the weekend and it is absolutely delicious. Very easy and uncomplicated to make.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed! 😊
Hi Martina. My fat head dough was not stretchy as I shaped it, so I think it may have gotten a little cold.
Could that have caused it? Also while the flavor was fantastic the cooked dough seemed greasy. Is that just the nature of fat head dough or could I do something to change that? It was a very yummy recipe, thanks!
Hi Annie, I think you may have gotten it too cold - if you pop it back in the microwave for 5-10 seconds it will be great again! The dough tends to get greasy because of the almonds rather than the cheese (part skim mozzarella) so you could reduce that by swapping with flax meal or coconut flour (see recipe intro for more info).
This was awesome! I did add pepperoni replacement for the pickles (personal choice). Paired with your marinara sauce yummy!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Inspiring
Looks delicious...
Thank you for sharing
Just finished the leftovers of this and my hubs could NOT stop saying how DEEElicious it was! Such cohesive flavors! I chopped the pickles and put them on top of the cheese layer, and we decided that we would add some raw chopped onions next time. So good! Thanks!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you both enjoyed! ❤️
Thanks Martina - another of your delicious recipes!
Thank you Anne, I'm glad you enjoyed!
This is absolutely delicious. Doesn't make me miss regular dough at all! Really easy to make and a hit in our house!
Thank you Corrie, I'm glad you like it!
wow nice
This was really good, but SOOO high in calories. Would you consider doing a lower calorie version? Truing to get the weight off.... thanks in advance.
Hi Alison, I think the best way would be to use lower fat meat (ground chicken or turkey) and skip the ghee but instead cook all the filling together and use garlic powder and onion powder instead of fresh. I hope this helps! 😊
It does help. Thanks so much!
I am amazed and impressed that you were able to roll it into such a large rectangle. Mine was about a 6” round. It wouldn’t budge. But it was a nice change and felt more like pizza. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Meg, that's interesting! Could it be the mozzarella? Was it sticky? Some types of "pizza" mozzarella are still too moist. The best one for this is the shredded type that is low moisture and part skim.
Love your recipes - simple, easy and delicious.... 😊
Thank you Shirin, I'm glad you enjoyed!
just made this Stromboli for dinner and it was AMAZING!!
everyone loved it and ask for more!!
I will for sure do it again
Thank you Clementine! ❤️
This may be my favorite Keto dough based recipe yet. It really was as easy as it looks. I followed the recipe very closely and dough turned out perfect and yummy. I added jalapenos with the pickles and absolutely love it. No way this will last for 4 servings...just saying.
Thank you so much! ❤️ The extra jalapeños sound like the perfect addition! You are right, this is 4 appetiser sized servings and 2 "regular" ones... Unless you serve it with something else.
Omg this was super easy and delicious!! It turned out perfectly 👍
Can I also use this dough for my pizza bases?
I like that it's only 2 ingredients. All the other fat head doughs have cream cheese and egg.
Thanks!

Absolutely! This dough will be great as a pizza base too! It will be thinner but you can also make it crispier. Just keep an eye on the temperature and time as it's easy to burn.
Thanks so much for your reply! I made a small batch of this today (1/4) and made myself a ham and cheese toasty in the sandwich press!
This is my new favourite.
I'm going to make some more dough and wrap some mini Frankfurt sausages in it ❤️❤️
Thanks again x
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed! ❤️
Hi! Can I sub the almond meal with a mix of both golden flax meal/almond meal?
Cheers
Yes you can do that! I've tried these alternatives:
Swap the 2/3 cups (66 g/ 2.3 oz) almond flour for ½ cup (75 g) packed flax meal, or 6 tablespoons (24 g/ 0.9 oz) coconut flour. If you use any of the nut-free alternatives, you will need to add 4 tablespoons (57 g/ 2 oz) cream cheese added to the mozzarella before microwaving.
Thanks so much!
Oh so good! Crisped up perfectly. I love the new easy version of dough. This is now on our lengthly (because of your blog) dinner rotation!
Thank you Heidi, I'm glad you enjoyed! I also find this version easier to roll out as it's less sticky than the version with egg.
My outside just melted 😕 how can I prevent this next time?
I'm sorry to hear that! That happened to me too. Is it possible that your dough was too thin? If it breaks on the sides it may leak.
what is the approximately roll out dough measurement as in long and wide?
Thanks
It's about 30x20 cm (12x8 inch). I hope this helps!
thank you for the previous reply, i couldn't wait for the reply and made it. it was fantastic! Love it. love your website and bought two of your books yesterday. thank you for sharing. one additional question, your instructions normally gave two oven temperatures fan assisted and conventional. this one only fan assisted. i have a conventional. what is the temperature for it?
thanks
Thank you very much Austin! ❤️ I have to go back to all of my older recipes and add this when I have a spare few days 😊 I started listing both just recently. The temperature for conventional oven will be 200 C (400 F). I hope this helps!
THANK YOU!
