RECIPE EXPERIMENT: Gluten Free, Low Carb, Bacon Cheese Rolls

You may expect anything gluten free to taste like a hockey puck.  The good news is, using a recipe for "Fat Head Dough" will prevent that from happening.

KQ host Mitch Hightower and partner chef Philip Buchan have been experimenting with Fat Head Dough.  They have discovered that this gluten free, low carbohydrate dough can be used in a variety of different sweet and savory baking recipes.  And no wheat flour is required!

More ideas for baking with this dough will be available in new KQ Season 5 episodes coming in 2019!
