Keto Fathead pizza

Keto Fathead pizza is a popular low-carb alternative to traditional pizza that uses a cheese-based crust instead of traditional dough. Here’s how you can make a delicious Keto Fathead pizza:

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 1/3 cups almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

For the Toppings:

• Sugar-free tomato sauce or marinara sauce (look for low-carb options)
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Your choice of keto-friendly toppings (e.g., pepperoni, cooked sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the cheeses are melted and well combined. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
3. In another bowl, mix the almond flour, eggs, salt, and Italian seasoning (if using) until a dough forms.
4. Combine the melted cheese mixture with the almond flour mixture, and knead until it forms a uniform dough. You can use your hands or a spatula for this step.
5. Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and cover it with another sheet of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin, round pizza crust shape. Remove the top parchment paper.
6. Transfer the parchment paper with the rolled-out crust onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Prick the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.
7. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until it becomes golden brown.
8. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
9. Spread a thin layer of sugar-free tomato sauce or marinara sauce over the crust.
10. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and add your choice of keto-friendly pizza toppings.
11. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
12. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve.

Enjoy your homemade Keto Fathead pizza! It’s a satisfying and low-carb alternative to traditional pizza that’s perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking.
