Fat head pizza
Fat head pizza is a low carbohydrate / keto friendly food item. Fat Head Pizza is a popular low-carb and keto-friendly alternative to traditional pizza crust. Named after the documentary "Fat Head," this pizza crust uses a combination of cheese and almond flour, resulting in a delicious, savory base for all your favorite toppings.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The magic of the fat head pizza lies in its crust made predominantly of cheese and almond flour. It's both tasty and holds up well to various toppings.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- 1 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Toppings of choice (e.g., keto-friendly tomato sauce, cheese, veggies, meats)
Instructions[edit | edit source]
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds or until cheeses are melted and blendable.
- Stir in the almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a pizza shape.
- Remove the top parchment paper and transfer the crust (with the bottom parchment paper) to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, add your desired toppings, and then bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
