This Keto Stromboli is chewy, meaty, creamy, cheesy perfection! Ideal for meal prepping, delicious hot or cold, there is no end to the list of reasons that you need to make this low carb stuffed bread STAT.
I’ll get to this delish Keto Stromboli recipe toot suite, but first it’s confession time….
Immana be honest here, I started off strong on operation keto quarantine, but caved after two weeks and hit the carbs hard for a few days. I’m guessing a lot of you are in the same boat, because guys it is legit HARD to stay on Keto while under stress and with all those loaves of gorgeous home made bread, and brownies, and cookies, and WHAT IS WITH ALL THESE CARBS IN MY IG FEED LATELY?
So I went off Keto for a few days and made peanut butter cookies, pizza, pasta, and some other carbalicious delights. Also there was wine. Lots of wine.
I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t fun in the moment, but in the back of my mind I knew that I was going to regret it, especially if I didn’t self arrest ASAP before too much damage was done. So last night I had some wine and a baked potato with lots of cheese on it as my farewell to carbs, and then this morning I started strong with some scrambled eggs, avocado, and coffee for breakfast.
And you know what? It felt GOOD.
Good to be back in control, good to know that when this quarantine is over I won’t have to resort to my stretchy pants when I can finally leave the house again, and good to be working towards fitting into some new dresses that I haven’t worn yet, just in time to be getting out of my pj’s and back out on the town.
Well…island, but still. 😂
That’s also where this Keto Stromboli comes in, because I made this a few weeks ago and have had this recipe waiting in the wings as part of my getting back on Keto strategy. It’s SO GOOD that I won’t be missing any of the carbs I’ve been stuffing my face with for the last week.
In fact my first order of business today (after I hit publish on this literary masterpiece 😂) is to head to the kitchen and get one of these stuffed breads in the oven to help me through the next few days. And you should too! Which is why I’m finally getting to the recipe ha ha.
Don’t be intimidated by this Keto Stromboli – it’s super simple to put together and very easy to customize with a variety of options! Here’s a little grid of photos I put together to show you just how basic it is – even if you’re a cooking newbie – you’ve got this I promise!
Ok so the bread portion of this Keto Stromboli is the easy Keto dough that I posted the other day, which is also the dough from the Cheesy Spinach Calzone that I will be making again this week because I just can’t get enough of it. If you haven’t tried it yet, DOOOO ITTTTT – you won’t regret it.
I used a combination of Italian cured deli meats like cappicola and salami in my Keto Stromboli, but you could really use almost any deli meat with this recipe and have great results. Same with the cheeses, you could change it up any number of ways depending on the combo you use.
Ham and cheddar or Swiss, pepperoni and mozzarella, pastrami and muenster – you get the idea.
Because I wanted this Keto Stromboli to have a luscious texture and not just eat like dry bread and meat, I mixed the shredded cheeses in with some cream cheese, tomato paste, and herbs, so that it has a melty, creamy, texture and tangy flavor that brings this whole thing together – and it works hot or cold without being rubbery and unpleasant.
Finally, you don’t need to limit yourself to just what I included in this Keto Stromboli – some other amazing additions depending on your pantry would be fresh basil, pepperoncini or banana peppers, olives, onions, or whatever else floats your stuffed bread boat.
Go nuts. Then report back because I’m dying to know what you think!
So where are you guys at with all of this crazy stuff going on? Keto? Not Keto? Ready to get back on Keto before you pop? I’m thinking about putting together a quarantine friendly Keto meal plan – let me know if you’re interested!
Either way, hang in there guys, we’ll get through this! 💕

This is an amazing recipe. It looked just like the pics as well. Super easy to make!
★★★★★
Made this and it was so good. Fairly easy. So delicious. Dough was yummy. Kids liked it too! Thanks for the recipe.
★★★★★
So glad to have found your site. This is a very good recipe, followed it exactly. I have been looking for a great dough recipe and this is it! Thanks so much!
★★★★★
Hi Mellissa, thanks for another yummie recipe :-) Here I do not have access to part-skimmed mozzarella: just skimmed or full-fat; I’d go for the lattest, would you agree or do you think it wouldn’t work? Any suggestion? Thank you in advance if you’ll have time to answer my question!
Will this freeze/reheat well? I know me and I know the best way to stay true to Keto is to have my meals premade and ready to reheat when I need a ‘snack’.
I made it this morning along with another cheesy spinach calzone. OMG! It is SO cheesy salty phenomenally delicious! My skinny BF (yes he is. I feed him pasta and junk food all day and he can’t gain weight) anyway skinny thought I made fresh dough and was going to try to eat it, I had to tell him to back off. 😁 I gained 15lbs since lock down I’m so uncomfortable time to lose it!!
★★★★★
This turned out perfect for us. Tasted great and was easy to put together. I did not have tomato paste. Completely forgot that I had used the last bit earlier in the week. Even without it this turned out great. I can’t wait to try again with tomato paste as I am sure it will be better.
I think i may even try a chicken and curry version which was one of our favorite pizzas.
Thanks for this one
★★★★★
Chicken curry sounds amazing! Let us know how that works out!
This looks so yummy! Going to make it this week! The quarantine is so hard and need to re-focus. Enjoying too many Michelob Ultra Lights to curb the stress and boredom sure. Would love the quarantine meal plan!
This is very good. I made the mistake of initially baking it on aluminum foil that had been sprayed with cooking spray. The sandwich stuck to of the foil so firmly the entire thing fell apart when I peeled it from the baking pan. The next time I used the parchment paper and there were no issues.
Hi! My dough was crumbly and would break when I would roll it. What can I do next time
★★★★
I don’t cook ever! But I made these and they are delicious! I did stuff them with ham, cheese, onion and green peppers 😊 Incredible! Thank you Melissa!
It’s definitely looks delicious! However I’m giving myself an egg fast for a while, which I found on your site previously. I know it works. I dropped 10 lb, maybe a little bit more last time I did that. I definitely caved into the carbs after being quarantined with two guys (hubby and son) who are carb addicts just like myself. Today was the day I got back on the keto wagon.
I can’t wait to try! I’ve been home for over a month now, and at first I was loving the whole ‘make whatever I want because I have all the time in the world!’ thing; but seeing as some of that included homemade bread/focaccia and pastas I’m wanting to get back into a keto lifestyle. I love making homemade things and my kids love it too, but I feel so much better not eating carbs daily (which is funny since I’m a baker).
I’ll most likely check out some older weekly meal plans, but if you make a quarantine one that would be awesome!
Great dough. Per “cooking with what I got” a la covid19, made a half recipe of the dough (beat one egg and used half for dough, half to brush outside before baking) and did Pretzel Dogs. Slit yummy Nathan’s hot dogs (par cooking in microwave for 30 seconds), stuffed slit with cheese and did a rope of your dough. Wrapped it around the hot dogs and brushed them with the other half of the beaten egg….a little sesame seeds on top…baked in airfryer for 12 min @ 350F. Wow. So good. Great dough….beautiful with the egg wash sheen on it. Looking for other odds and ends I can jazz up with your dough (the cat better watch out). Best mozz dough I have tried. May even try doing a soft pretzel with it. Thanks!
★★★★★
Reporting back: made the Hot Soft Pretzel and it was GREAT! Rolleda bit of the dough (1/8 of a full recipe) into a long rope and did the pretzel thing…brushed with egg wash, topped with Maldon flaky salt and did for 9 min in air fryer. They were so good. Let it cool for all of 60 seconds cuz I really needed to try it. Yum.
★★★★★
I can’t wait to make this, I like so many others went absolutely carb crazy. I feel awful, I gained 7lbs!!!! Though grocery shopping is tough, when there is no cream cheese or eggs I end up making something carb laden. I am going shopping today. I’ll post back after I make this delicious looking stromboli.
Took a little time off keto to celebrate March birthdays and an anniversary. My joints hate me, and I plan on getting back on track. Quarantine keto plan would be incredible. I love every recipe of yours I’ve ever tried, and am so grateful for you.

waves to Daryl!!!
I need to make this. I imagine it doesn’t really matter what filling is used….I have ham and cheeses here, think I will give this a try!
Made it, LOVED IT…..used rotisserie chicken and cheese. Think I’ll make it again, sausage cheese and mushroom!
★★★★★
I’m so glad to hear I’m not the only one struggling with being confined. I still have to work but we divided up into two teams incase one team is exposed. The days I work, I do fine. The days I’m home and it’s not raining outside, I love working outside, and I do fine but it’s so hard to be in the house alone with my husbands chocolate milk and Reese’s cups on all these rainy days!
I can’t wait to try this recipe. I looks amazing!
Downtime and access to non Keto snacks is always a struggle! Hang in there girl!
This looks absolutely delicious! Will try for sure!
P.S. There might be a tiny error in the first step with preheating the DOUGH… 😉
LOL thanks for catching that it’s fixed now!
You can just blame that on the wine! LOL
★★★★★
Thank YOU! I made the spinach one a couple of weeks ago, and right away thought of doing this with that amazing dough!
Now I know it will work. 😊
The spinach one was ah-mazing, although I cooked it about 5 min too long.
Excited to make this!!!
Staying Keto during the madness…we feel so much better when we do. And I have lots of cooking time, which makes it easier…but wine does make the list of “allowables” – gotta daw that line somewhere!!
Thanks also for being so generous with your Food creativity !
Stay safe and healthy!
Carolyn
You too Carolyn! Hope you like this one as much as the spinach – it’s a toss up for me honestly!
