Fathead Dough Recipe
Fathead dough is a low-carb dough alternative made with just a few ingredients and can be used to make dishes, from calzones to bagels.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces full-fat mozzarella cheese shredded
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine almond flour, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and an egg in a bowl
- Venture into microwave land and heat the mixture for about 1 minute. Give that dough at least two quick stirs during this process
- Pull out that dough and, while it's still hot, knead it into a smooth texture. Be patient, it might be a little stubborn
- Roll out your dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Make sure it's thin but there's no need to go paper-thin
- Pre-bake your fathead dough in an oven set to 425°F (220°C). A span of 10 minutes should do the trick or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before using as desired.
Notes
- For a thinner crust, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper before baking.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- For a more flavorful crust, add dried herbs or spices to the dough.
