Got some more low-carb cooking for you!
That right there folks is Fathead pizza.
This is just a low-carb pizza dough recipe, but it's really commonly referred to as "Fathead" online.
Pretty good for low-carb (depending on your macros). We've made it several times, and it's really easy and very very tasty.
The only complaint/warning is that it is pretty high in calories. Half of the recipe is 555 calories or so alone, before any toppings. So, when you make this, keep that in mind.
It can also be easily adapted to include different spices or herbs or whatever the hell you want to put in that dough.
Onward!
INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 Cups mozarella
- 3/4 cup almond flour/meal
- 2TBS cream cheese
- 1 egg
INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the mozza and the cream cheese in the microwave for about one and a half minutes. Take it out and stir it up; if it isn't all completely melted, try again in intervals of about 20 seconds or so (you don't want to start it cooking/burning).
Once it's nice and gooey, put in the almond meal and the egg, and mix it up well.
If the cheese looks like it's getting stringy/hard, just quickly microwave it a little again until it's soft again.
Cover your pizza pan/baking sheet with parchment paper, and wet your hands before you pull out that dough. Trust me, wet your goddamn hands. Spread the dough out (it helped to use a wet spoon or spatula). It can get pretty thin when you spread it out safely, just look out for holes as the cheese cools and gets stringy again.
Poke the dough all over with a fork, and then sprinkle with a little garlic powder or garlic salt.
DO NOT PUT THE TOPPINGS ON YET.
Bake in the oven at about 425 for about 5 minutes or so. Pull it out, and poke down any bubbles. Put it back in, STILL NO TOPPINGS for another ~15 minutes or less, until it starts to brown. Make sure to check on it, it can get brown pretty fast.
Once it starts to brown, pull it out and THEN put on your toppings. Whatever you want. I put it back in, but under the broiler this time to bake whatever I put on top, as the dough is mostly done at this point.
And that's it! Makes about 8 reasonably sized slices (you are all adults you can eat this shit however you want).
Enjoy! Make it, and take pictures!
