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.
