Fathead Dough
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarellacheese
Instructions
Melt the Cheeses
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave the cheeses in 20-30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Continue until the cheeses are completely melted and well combined. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes in total.
Add Almond Flour
- Once the cheeses are melted, mix in the almond flour. Stir well until the almond flour is fully incorporated into the cheese mixture. You'll start to see a dough-like consistency forming.
Incorporate the Egg
- Beat the egg in a separate bowl and then add it to the cheese and almond flour mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are combined into a cohesive dough. You can use your hands or a spatula to do this.
Form the Dough
- Take the dough and shape it into a ball. If you're making a pizza crust, flatten the ball into your desired pizza shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can make it as thin or thick as you prefer.
Pre-Bake (Optional)
- Some recipes call for pre-baking the dough at this stage. If your recipe requires it, pre-bake the dough in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until it's lightly golden.
Add Toppings (If making pizza)
- If you're making pizza, you can now add your favorite keto-friendly toppings – sauce, cheese, vegetables, meats, and more.
Bake to Perfection
- Put the topped pizza back into the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Serving
- Carefullyremove your Fathead dough creation from the oven, let it cool slightly, andt hen slice and enjoy your delicious low-carb masterpiece.
