Keto Fathead Dough Pizza Crust

Keto fathead dough pizza crust is the right amount of crispy, chewy, and super easy to make! Your low-carb pizza game is about to change!

WHAT IS FATHEAD DOUGH?

Fathead dough originally debuted as part of the movie “Fathead,” though the recipe debuted on the blog that followed the movie. The movie, a bit of a spoof on “Super Size Me,” discusses the effects of eating a low-carb diet.

The dough is gluten free, low-carb high fat, and super keto-friendly. And, the best part is, it’s super versatile. It can make pizza crusts (like this one), cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, tortilla chips, and much more!

FATHEAD DOUGH INGREDIENTS

Before you try to make this pizza crust recipe, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand.

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning

After you have these, you’re set and ready to go!

HOW TO MAKE KETO FATHEAD DOUGH PIZZA CRUST

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Using a mesh strainer, sift the almond flour into a mixing bowl
3. Add rest of the ingredients and stir with fork
4. Microwave for 15 seconds, then remove and stir ingredients with fork, working to begin forming the cheese and flour into a dough
5. Repeat this step until dough is well mixed and you’re able to form a ball of dough in the bowl
6. Using a rolling pin, roll into dough roughly 1/4″ thick
7. Place the crust onto a baking stone and bake for 12 minutes
8. Voila! Beautiful and tasty crust ready for your topping(s) of choice!

WHAT DOES FATHEAD DOUGH TASTE LIKE?

Fathead dough tastes about like you’d expect crust to taste like, with a slight cheese flavor. Not to worry though, after you add the toppings, you’ll never know the difference!

INFO ON COOK TIME FOR THIS PIZZA CRUST

While this recipe calls for the dough to be rolled to around 1/4″ thick, you may decide to make yours thinner or thicker, which is totally fine!

However, you will need to account for whatever thickness you choose when baking your crust.

Of course, thicker crusts will need more baking time, while thinner crusts will need less time. Ultimately, regardless of the thickness, you’ll have to judge for yourself when you think the crust is done.

A good rule of thumb (keep in mind you will turn around and bake the crust again when you place your toppings on it) is a nice light, golden brown.

CAN THIS BE USED FOR OTHER RECIPES BESIDES PIZZA?

Yes, it sure can! This dough is great to use for keto pizza, keto garlic breadsticks, keto cheese bread, and other delicious recipes!

CAN I FREEZE THIS DOUGH FOR LATER?

Yes, you sure can. There are a couple ways you can go about this and you’ll have to decide which way you prefer.

FREEZING THE DOUGH BALL

The simplest and quickest way to freeze your fathead dough is to freeze the dough ball itself. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place into an airtight container and pop it into the freezer.

When you are ready to use the dough, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw completely. Roll the dough as you would normally and place it into the oven.

As a note, don’t try to make your pizza or other recipe after rolling the crust. You have to bake the crust first, then you can put whatever toppings you’ll be using on it and bake again.

FREEZING THE CRUST ALREADY BAKED

This method will make life a lot easier on you when you decide to use the crust in the future. The nicest part about this is that you don’t have to do anything when you’re ready to use it. Remove it, top it, and bake it.

To freeze your already baked keto fathead dough pizza crust, simply follow all of the instructions in this recipe, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place flat in the freezer.

Simple, easy, and done!
