Who doesn’t love pizza?! For many, it’s definitely a family favorite!
However, traditional pizza crust is loaded with carbs. Using fathead dough as an alternative for breads and crusts is a great substitute! Try this recipe for your next Pizza Night!
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups pre-shredded/grated cheese, (mozzarella is the best or Edam/mild cheese)
- 3/4 cup almond meal/flour
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 egg
- pinch salt, (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary/ garlic, or other flavorings, (optional)
- Toppings such as pepperoni, your choice of – (peppers, cherry tomatoes, olives, ground/mince beef, mushrooms, herbs etc)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Mix the shredded/grated cheese and almond flour/meal in a microwaveable bowl. Add the cream cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
- Stir then microwave on HIGH for another 30 seconds.
- Add the egg, salt, rosemary and any other flavorings, mix gently.
- Place in between two pieces of parchment paper and roll into a circular pizza shape. Remove the top parchment paper. If the mixture hardens and becomes difficult to work with, pop it back in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften again but not too long or you will cook the egg.
- Make fork holes all over the pizza base to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Slide the parchment paper with the pizza base, on a baking tray (cookie tray) or pizza stone, and bake at 425F for 12-15 minutes, or until brown.
- To make the base really crispy and sturdy, flip the pizza over (onto parchment paper) once the top has browned.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and add all the toppings you like. Make sure any meat is already cooked as this time it goes back into the oven just to heat up the toppings and melt the cheese. Bake again at 425F for 5 minutes.
