MIRACLE DOUGH BACON
CHEESE SPIRALS
These amazing pastries were inspired by a video I saw on Facebook. Here it is (click for video) I tried to make a copycat version, only
low-carb, so that we low-carbers can also enjoy this wonderful, fun treat! They will keep you reaching out for another later in the day! Don't be intimidated at all. This is very easy to make and your family and/or friends might just be impressed. Don't tell them how easy it is to make!
8 oz regular
cream cheese (250 g)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (60 mL)
1 tsp dried parsley (5 mL)
1 tsp crushed garlic (5 mL)
3/4 cup chopped red onion, stir-fried (175
mL)
6 cooked, crispy bacon slices
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese (250 mL)
1 egg, fork beaten
Miracle Dough:
2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese (500 mL)
2 tbsp butter (30 mL)
1 cup Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR Grain-Free versions below (250 mL)
1 egg, fork beaten
1/4 tsp Montreal Chicken Seasoning (1 mL)
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In food processor, process cream cheese, mayonnaise,
parsley and garlic. Spread on surface of
rolled-out dough. Sprinkle with onion,
chopped bacon and Cheddar cheese. Start
rolling and folding dough over filling from one long side until the filling is
completely closed in the form of a log.
Seal the edges using your fingers.
Cut into 14 spirals and space well on a baking sheet. Brush with egg
wash. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown underneath and turning
golden brown in spots on top. They
spread quite a bit, so make sure to space the spirals nicely on the baking
sheet.
Helpful Hints: For a Grain-Free version, use a bake mix made up of 2 cups (500 mL) almond flour and 2/3 cup (150 mL) coconut flour. Use 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the mixture. Or, simply use 2/3 cup (150 mL) almond flour and 2 tbsp (30 mL) coconut flour for each batch of Miracle Dough (I have not tested this smaller version, but the Grain-Free Bake mix - yes!). I still prefer the Miracle Dough goodies made with the Gluten-Free Bake Mix, however, this is an very lovely option and the net carbs get reduced by 1.0 gram per serving usually. Now you can use my Keto Gluten-Free, Grain-Free Bake Mix, OR Grain-Free, Gluten-Free Bake Mix if desired.

MIRACLE DOUGH TIPS: - USE BOB'S RED MILL COCONUT FLOUR FOR ALL MY RECIPES AND ESPECIALLY FOR THIS MIRACLE DOUGH - COCONUT FLOURS DIFFER GREATLY IN THEIR ABILITY TO ABSORB MOISTURE! There are several variations of this kind of dough on the internet, but mine is different to all the others out there. I am getting very adept with this dough. Use a fork to make it come together. At first it looks impossible (might even have strings of cheese in it), but keep mixing and then turn out on a cutting board. Knead for a couple of minutes, adding a bit of coconut flour as needed to make a lovely elastic dough. The more coconut flour one can add (usually about 1 tbsp or a bit more), the more bread-like the dough becomes (more substantial). Since coconut flour is mostly fiber, you're not really adding much in the way of carbs, spread over several servings. I put the dough ball on parchment paper and cover the dough with plastic wrap and using a rolling pin (sometimes I use my special small one for pie dough), roll it out with ease. If at any time the dough becomes resistant to rolling, nuke it approximately 10 to 20 seconds and away you go again!
Here is a pic of the dough ball - lovely, soft and malleable!!
Mozzarella cheeses that I have successfully used with the Miracle Dough and The Sweet Miracle Pastry Dough as well. I get mine from Price Smart in Central (technically South America) America, which is the same as Costco in the United States.
I tried this one a couple of times and it is WONDERFUL!! Also, very convenient.
I usually grate my own cheese using my 20-year old Braun food processor, which has a ton of gadgets - this is the cheese I used to use most often. However these days I use the shredded cheese from PriceSmart. Even the whole milk Mozzarella works wonderfully well; no problem! CLICK ON THE PHOTOS IN MY BLOG TO SEE A BIGGER IMAGES.
