Gluten Free & Keto Smoked Salmon & Ricotta Pastry Roll-Up ?

Call them roll-ups, pinwheels or what-not. But these gluten free and keto smoked salmon and ricotta pastries are truly exquisite. And note, that we don’t take that word lightly.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 batch suuuper flakey cream cheese keto pie crust (with lemon zest)
• 180 g ricotta cheese
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/2-1 tablespoon lemon juice to taste
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons capers (roughly chopped)
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 125 g smoked salmon
• 1 egg (lightly beaten for egg wash)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- For the keto pastry dough: ---
2. 2Add almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, salt and lemon zest to food processor and pulse until evenly combined.
3. 3Add butter and cream cheese and pulse for just a few seconds until crumbly. Add in egg and vinegar and pulse until the dough just begins to come together (but stop before it forms into a ball).
4. 4Turn out the dough onto cling film and form into a round.
5. 5Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 3 days.
6. 6--- For the salmon & ricotta roll-up: ---
7. 7Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
8. 8Mix ricotta, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice in a small bowl and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
9. 9Roll out pastry dough in between two sheets of parchment paper, lightly dusting with coconut flour as needed. Trim the edges with a pastry wheel or knife (and make some small crackers out of it!).
10. 10Spread a layer of lemon ricotta on the pastry, sprinkle with capers and dill, and add a layer of smoked salmon.
11. 11Roll up the pastry, using the parchment paper as an aid. Remember that gluten free doughs are much more fragile, so you do need the aid of parchment or wax paper here.
12. 12Brush with egg wash and transfer to a baking tray. Bake for 27-30 minutes, until golden all over.
13. 13Allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting, and serve with lemon wedges.
