The first one was taken from the Fathead Movie from 2009, and the other one from Dr Berg’s website. All of them are delicious, so try them and let us know which one is your favourite!
Fathead Pizza
Equipment
- 1 Pizza pan
- Baking or parchment paper
- 1 Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese + extra for topping
- 1 eggs
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp pizza sauce
- your choice of toppings
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the cheeses are fully melted and combined. Be careful not to overheat. In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and a pinch of salt. Add the almond flour mixture and the egg to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until you have a uniform dough.Place the dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll it out into your desired pizza crust shape. You can make it thin or thicker, depending on your preference. Remove the top baking paper and transfer the crust on the bottom baking paper onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Prick the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Bake the crust for about 12-15 minutes or until it's golden and crispy. Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired pizza sauce, toppings, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are cooked to your liking. Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy your homemade Fathead pizza.Feel free to customise your Fathead pizza with your favourite toppings and seasonings. This recipe is known for its satisfying, dough-like texture while being low in carbs, making it a favourite among those following low-carb or keto diets.
Cauliflower Pizza Base
Equipment
- 1 Pizza pan or Baking tray
- 1 Rolling Pin or a Glass bottle
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated cauliflower
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese + extra for topping
- 2 large eggs
- 2-3 tbsp tomato paste/sauce keep sugars below 2 grams
- 1-2 cups toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 230 degrees Celsius (450 degrees Fahrenheit). I usually have my oven at 180 degrees fan forced, as I find 230 degrees will burn easy. Cut baking paper to match the size and shape of your pizza pan. Baking paper is the best way to prevent your crust from sticking to the baking surface. Grate cauliflower and remove any large chunks. You want a fine, uniform texture like rice. Try to spread it as thin as possible.Mix together the cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, and two eggs until well-combined. At this point, it may not look like it could possibly turn into pizza crust, but it will bake to a thin, crunchy, flexible crust- just watch!Place cauliflower mixture in the center of the baking paper on the pizza pan. Spread the mixture thinly but evenly out the edges of the pan. I cover the mixture with another pice of baking paper and use a rolling pin to roll it out.Bake crust for 15 minutes. Do NOT cook crust with toppings, just the crust at this point. Once cooked, take crust out of oven and apply toppings.Assemble the rest of your toppings. Place a small dollop of tomato pizza sauce - start with less than you think you’ll need- in the center of your crust and spread it out nearly to the edge. Be conservative with the sauce- too much sauce was one of my mistakes when I was perfecting this recipe!Top with a little cheese (remember the crust already contains cheese), followed by any other toppings of your choice. I add whole, fresh basil leaves, olives, slices of organic tomato and mushroom, and pepperoni.Return to oven and re-bake until cheese is evenly melted and just beginning to turn golden on the surface. This will usually be between 10-15 minutes.Reference https://www.drberg.com/keto-recipes/cauliflower-crust
