Here’s a classic Fathead Pizza recipe 🍕—low-carb, keto-friendly, and super cheesy! Perfect if you want a chewy, pizza-like crust without grains.
Ingredients (for 1 medium pizza crust)
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese (about ¼ cup)
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (customizable):
- ½ cup sugar-free pizza sauce or tomato sauce
- 1–1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
- Pepperoni, vegetables, cooked sausage, or other toppings
- Optional: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the crust
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese.
- Microwave 30–60 seconds until soft and melty.
- Stir until smooth.
- Add egg, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Tip: Knead lightly with your hands or a spatula—it will be sticky but workable.
3. Shape the dough
- Place dough on parchment paper.
- Press or roll into a thin, even circle or rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).
4. Bake crust
- Bake 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.
5. Add toppings
- Spread sauce over crust.
- Add cheese and toppings.
- Optional: sprinkle Italian seasoning or garlic powder.
6. Bake again
- Bake 5–10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve
- Slice and enjoy hot!
Tips
- For extra crispiness: brush crust edges lightly with olive oil before baking.
- Works great with cauliflower crust as a hybrid, but classic Fathead is strictly cheese + almond flour.
- Dough can be stored in the fridge for 1–2 days or frozen before baking.
