Fathead Dough

Fathead dough is the perfect replacement when you are looking for a low carb alternative, but don't want to miss out on your favorite foods like pizza and cinammon rolls. I love homemade pizza nights and I find this dough to be the best substitute to traditional dough. It's so easy to make and much better than messy cauli crust that just falls apart and seems impossible to squeeze all the excess water from.

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 cup fine almond flour

  1. Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium size microwaveable bowl.
  2. Microwave for 1 minute, stir and then cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the almond flour and beaten egg.
  4. Let the dough cool slightly, then knead until smooth. Add a little extra almond flour if the dough is too sticky, then knead again.

Notes

This recipe is for uncooked dough to be used as the base for other recipes, to replace traditional dough. It is amazing for keto/low carb pizza, cinammon rolls, pie crusts, pin rolls and pastry puffs.
It can be refrigerated in a closed container or rolled in a ball, wrapped in many layers of plastic wrap to be frozen and used at a a later date.
