INSTRUCTIONS

To Make Fathead Dough

  • Mix the mozzarella cheese with the cream cheese and almond flour in a microwave-safe mixing bowl. (if you are using a microwave oven for the recipe).
  • Microwave for 2 minutes on high, or use sous vide* for 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir to incorporate the ingredients. Add the egg and season with salt.
  • Place the dough between two pieces of baking paper and roll with a rolling pin or a tall glass to your desired thickness. Lightly dust with almond flour if it’s too sticky.
  • Use according to your recipe instructions or simply bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness, to enjoy it on its own.
  • *Sous Vide: Prepare a water bath by filling a pot with hot water. Bring to a gentle simmer. Place the ingredients you need to cook in a heatproof bowl, saucepan, or zip-lock bag, and place the bowl or bag in the simmering water.

To Bake Fathead Dough

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking pan with baking paper.
  • Place your fathead dough on the lined baking pan and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness.

To Make Fathead Pizza Crust

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking pan with baking paper.
  • Place your pizza dough on the lined baking pan and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness.
  • Spread your desired low carb sauce and toppings over the dough. I like to use sugar-free marinara, pepperoni, mushrooms, and mozzarella.
  • Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 5 minutes until the toppings are cooked.
