Instructions
Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix almond flour, coconut flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
Melt the butter and cheese in a pan on low heat. Stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon, for a smooth and flexible batter. After a few minutes, remove from heat.
Stir the egg into to the flour mixture, and then add the cheese mixture, combining all until it becomes a firm dough.
Flatten into a rectangle, about 8×14 inches (20×35 cm).
Cut into 8 long strips, less than an inch wide (1.5–2 cm).
Wrap the dough strips around the hot dog and brush with a whisked egg.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15–20 minutes until the dough is golden brown. The hot dog will be done by then too.
Push two cloves into each hot dog to make them look like eyes – but only for decoration. Don’t eat the cloves!
Tip!
Using larger hot dogs? Pre-fry them for a couple of minutes before wrapping them up in the cheese dough and baking.

The first time I made these I used pepperoni sticks and I had a little trouble making the dough wrap like in the picture so just wrapped them like sausage rolls - worked out well. Used old Cheddar and I also added hot pepper flakes to the dough for some kick.
The second time I just diced up cured Chorizo and chives and mixed it into the finished dough then made it into thin savory biscuits; delicious and didn't have to fight with wrapping.
Is 2 2⁄3 oz. butter a liquid or weight measurement?

Like many other commenters, I could not get my dough to wrap around the hot dogs. Some suggestions to improve this recipe: make clear whether the butter is a liquid or weight measurement. Please suggest a type of cheese: I used cheddar and that did not seem to be the right choice. Split step 4 into multiple steps. Does "crack the egg" mean into the cheese and melted butter? This is what I assumed, but it's unclear in the recipe. For step 6: if my rectangle is 8" x 14" and I cut it into 8 strips, why is each strip "less than" 1 inch thick. Wouldn't each be 1" thick? I think that these clarifications would make this recipe much easier to follow.

I rolled the dough out to about 1mm thick and made cheese crunchie biscuits! Baked in the oven for 20 mins! Result! Wished I’d made half with Coleman’s mustard! Very tasty snack!

I'm not sure why this recipe is even on a respectable site like this. Never has a 1 star review been so well earned. Crumbly "dough" that barely adheres to the term. This recipe claims the test kitchen tag at the top. So it is theoretically possible to make these, with so many of the comments suggesting otherwise something is amiss... it's great that people are using this for other recipes like crackers but that shouldn't excuse this mess.

The picture for this recipe clearly shows Puff pastry, not the pastry for this recipe. Once the butter and cheese have melted it takes quite a while to get them to bind together. Dough, even though still warm, was much too crumbly to roll and wrap around (I used sausage meat). I squashed it around the meat. They didn't look the best, but tasted OK and baked quite firm.

These are great! I made with mozzarella cheese and it made a nice dough which I could roll out, cut and wrap around each dog. The dough puffed up nicely in the oven, similar to what you'd see with crescent roll dough.
I think the key is to use mozzarella cheese. other cheeses may not work. I melted the butter and cheese together *just* until the cheese was all melted, mixed it with until the butter was incorporated and then added the mix to the egg/dry ingredient mix. I omitted the salt from the recipe, with all the salt already in the ingredients it's unnecessary to add more.

Also: I weighed the butter, but it comes out to 5 tablespoons of butter if you're slicing on the paper guide.

I made these this evening to take out for lunch time tomorrow- but I won’t be - I used mozzarella instead of cheddar and they are incredibly greasy - so much so I’m wondering if my scales are faulty - I’ve eaten one and I actually feel sick !!! - and I love cheese. Although it’s a waste the rest are going in the bin! I will try again sometime and meanwhile be checking my scales or possibly have to reduce the mozzarella and butter.

Best keto dough I've found. Weigh the butter, use mozzarella. Cheese didn't miss into the butter well, but it's turned out beautiful and delicious

I've made these a few times, because kids + sausage rolls = winning ;) But I've adjusted the recipe a little to make it work. Here's my tips:
1. Always use mozzarella. Not any other cheese. I think the recipe should be updated as other cheese do crumble but mozz doesn't.
2. I make traditional looking sausage rolls with hot dogs, rather than the twisted ones as pictured. This is easier, quicker and my kids like them.
3. I have melted the butter and mozzarella in the microwave but find the stove top works better, with regular stirring so that both combine as they're melting.
4. Once I have my dough, I make one long rectangle the same width as my hot dogs. I place one at the end, roll it up so that the dough overlaps about 1cm/.5in then cut. I finish rolling to smooth out the 'seam' on the baking paper/parchment that I've used to line the baking tray. Then I go back and do the next one and repeat until all are rolled up.
5. The real trick is to work quickly, while the dough is still warm. When it's warm, it's never crumbled on me.
6. Do an egg/milk wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
7. They're ready in about 14 minutes, maybe even less.Try these tips if you're having trouble!

100% agree with all Bradley's tips. If you're looking for additional uses for this dough google Fat Head, for ideas on making crackers, pizza bases and more. It's very tasty and versatile.

There are clean sausages available in most areas of the world though you will need to carefully read labels.

With shredded cheese in recipes like this, would shredded mozzarella work?

Does someone know how 'almond meal' translates into Swedish? We are trying to keep the budget down and use almond meal instead of almond flour, but cannot find it in Sweden - google translate gives me 'mandel mat' but no shop carries that and the few where we asked the salespersons where perplexed and apparently never heard of such a product. Thanks in advance!

I get "mandelmål" when I use a translator. I'm not sure if that will help, but best of luck to you!

I prepared these keto dogs last night. They came out pretty great! I used a mild cheddar cheese, as I had no mozzarella, and it worked very well. But I believe mozzarella will make the dough a bit more moist and also less "cheesy" (nothing wrong with that, though!)

Worst Keto dough I have found. Way too much butter therefor the dough was incredibly wet and greasy. Impossible to wrap the dough around anything. Waste of time and ingredients.
