Fathead Mozzarella Keto Pizza Dough Recipe (Low Carb)

Fathead pizza dough is the best pizza dough that’s low carb AND keto-friendly. It’s made with a gluten-free flour alternative, egg, and cream cheese. It was first made popular on the Fathead movie and has stuck around ever since!

What Is Fathead Pizza Dough?

Fathead pizza dough has quickly become a staple among keto dieters because of how simple and easy it is to make, not to mention the finished product comes very close to the texture of real pizza.

Is Fathead Pizza Keto-friendly?

Absolutely! Fathead pizza dough only incorporates keto-friendly ingredients, so even though the texture is very close to real pizza, it’s well within keto guidelines.

You’ll be surprised how a low carb, high fat recipe can be just as good as it’s carb-heavy counterpart.

How to Make the Best Low Carb Fathead Keto Pizza Crust

You’re going to be surprised at how easy it is to make your own keto-friendly pizza crust at home. To start:

• Combine the cream cheese and mozzarella in a bowl. Microwave on high, stirring every 30 minutes until both are melted and completely smooth.
• Add in the rest of the ingredients. Mix in the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, egg and salt.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. This will make the dough easier to roll.
• Roll out the dough. Do this with a rolling pin and by placing the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to avoid sticking.
• Bake. Transfer the ¼ inch thick dough to your baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. At this point, your crust is already pre-cooked and ready for some toppings.

Best Fathead Pizza Topping Combinations

With the Fathead pizza dough as your base, there’s no limit to your choice of pizza topping combinations. These are just a few to start with:

• classic pepperoni
• all veggie – olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, onion
• all meat – italian sausage, pepperoni, ham, salami
• four cheese – blue cheese, mozzarella, fontina, parmigiano
• margherita – cheese, sliced tomato, basil leaves

Can You Freeze Fathead Pizza Dough?

Yes, you can freeze Fathead pizza dough. I’ve done this plenty of times before with great results. I highly recommend wrapping each pizza dough in freezer-safe plastic before freezing.

Stack the individually wrapped pizza dough discs on top of each other, making sure that they’re flat and evenly placed. Once you’re ready to cook, take them out to thaw before putting your toppings.
