Ingredients
Fathead pizza dough recipe with almond flour:
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 cup mozzarella
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 egg
Fathead pizza dough recipe with coconut flour:
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/2 cup mozzarella
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Melt the cheeses together in a microwave or a double boiler on the stove.
- Form the dough with the flour and egg. Keep the dough uniform. You can use a food processor, which I find easiest, or knead it with your hands and squeeze through your fingers until it’s uniform.
- Bake the fathead pizza. Once you have the dough, roll it out or form it into a crust, and bake. If its too sticky, try some of our tips for how to deal with this.
Notes
Sticky Fathead Dough - If the dough is too sticky, these might help:
- Chilling the dough: try 20 to 30 minutes.
- Use oiled hands: helps avoid sticking to your fingers.
- If the cheese solidifies too quickly: reheat a little to soften it, then try again.
- Food processor – kneading by hand sounds old-world romantic, but a food processor is way easier!
- Double boiler – If you don’t want to use the microwave, then I would use your instant pot as a double boiler. I have not tried this, but it looks really simple (here is a video).
