Cheeseburger Loaf
Directions
For the dough;
1. Simmer about 2 inches of water in the lower part of a double boiler using high heat.
Turn heat to low.
2. In the top part of the double boiler (while not over the water), whisk together the al-
mond flour, xanthan gum and baking powder. Stir in egg. Mixture will be very thick.
Stir in the mozzarella cheese.
3. Place the top part of the double boiler containing the almond flour and mozzarella
mixture over the bottom part with the simmering water. Heat the mixture, stirring fre-
quently, until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes a dough-like ball. Be care-
ful not to burn yourself with the hot bowl or the steam escaping from the bottom
part of the double boiler. I use a silicone mitt to hold the bowl while I stir.
4. Transfer the mozzarella dough to a piece of parchment paper. Knead it several
times to incorporate any stray almond flour into the dough and completely mix the
cheese and the almond flour. Pat the dough into an oval shape. Cover the dough
with a second piece of parchment and roll out into an oblong shape about 12 inch-
es by 15 inches. While rolling the dough out, you may need to straighten the top
parchment, then flip the dough over and straighten the bottom parchment. This
prevents wrinkles in the dough.
For the assembly:
1. Spread the ground beef mixture along the middle third of the dough lengthwise, be-
ing careful to leave about one third of the dough on both sides. Squirt a few table-
spoons of mustard over the ground beef. Layer the red onions and dill pickle slices
over the mustard. Top the mixture with the cheddar cheese.
2. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling and seal together with your fingers. If de-
sired crimp the seal with your fingers as you would the edge of a pie. Pinch the ends
of the pastry together. If desired, decorate the ends but pushing down with a fork.
Using a sharp knife, pierce the dough in several places to create holes for the steam

3. Using the parchment paper under the loaf to assist you, slide the loaf onto a baking
sheet. Place the loaf in the oven. Bake in preheated oven for 25- 30 minutes or until
it is golden brown. Let loaf cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer it to a
cutting board using the parchment. Gently remove parchment from underneath, if
desired. Tearing the parchment will make this process easier. Slice & serve hot.
