Fathead Pizza
Recipe taken from the 2009 Fathead Movie
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.
