To make the Keto Pierogi Dough: Combine the mozzarella cheese and butter in a medium bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave another minute. Stir until fully combined and cool for 2 minutes. Stir in the egg and egg yolk until combined. Add the almond flour and stir with a large spoon until combined.
Now this low carb pierogi recipe does take a little bit of time, but I promise, it’s worth it. Best to eat them hot and with some deeeelicous sour cream. The first dough I used for this is a variation of ‘fathead dough’. If you haven’t heard of fathead dough, it’s so versatile!
Serve and enjoy! Many gluten-free pierogi recipes call for mixing flour and gums like xanthan and guar, and other binding agents to improve the elasticity and stickiness of the dough. You can experiment with the use of xanthan gum (1 teaspoon per cup of flour for a pasta) to make the product lighter.
To fill the pierogi: Roll half the dough 1/8" thick. Use a 2" round cutter to cut circles of dough. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Save the scraps; these can be snipped into small pieces and added to simmering soups. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling on each round of dough. Gently fold the dough over, forming a pocket around the filling.
