I am super picky about pizza. I like for my pizza to be loaded with toppings and I usually go for things like chicken and bacon!

What is Fathead Dough?

The concept comes from a 2009 documentary called Fat Head. It is a direct response to the controversial Super Size Me documentary. He does a couple of experiments.

One experiment is to eat a lot of food from McDonald’s in order to disprove the result of the Super Size Me documentary. His second experiment centers around a lipid hypothesis. He goes on a low-sugar, low-starch diet for a month. At the end of the month, he has lowered his cholesterol.

The documentary mentions a pizza that is made using almond flour. This recipe was adapted from the film.

It’s perfect if you want a lazy night in!

How to Make Fathead Dough

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Add mozzarella and cream cheese to a large bowl and microwave
3. Remove the mixture from the microwave. Add the Italian Seasoning and stir.
4. Stir in almond flour.
5. Remove from the microwave and stir. Add in the egg. Stir until the mixture forms crust.
6. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the pizza pan.
7. Spoon the dough onto the parchment paper. Roll out the dough.
8. Using a fork, poke holes throughout the pizza dough. This will allow the crust to rise.
9. Bake for 8 minutes.

How to Make Keto Fathead Pizza

1. Spread the alfredo sauce over the pizza crust.
2. Add fresh spinach.
3. Toss cooked bacon and chicken throughout. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan Reggiano cheese on the top.
4. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese has melted.
5. Cool before serving.

Can You Substitute Coconut Flour For Almond Flour?

No, the two do not have a 1:1 substitution ratio. Coconut flour is much denser and drying.

Recipe Tips

1. The dough will be really sticky to roll out. Use parchment paper to bake.
2. You can either use really clean hands or a second sheet of parchment paper to roll out the dough. 
3. If you roll the dough with your hands, wet them first. This will keep the dough from sticking to your hands and fingers as you roll it out.
4. If the batter becomes too thick and hard to stir, microwave for another 15 seconds. This will allow the almond flour to moisten some with the cream cheese and mozzarella.
5. Parmesan reggiano cheese costs a little more than most standard cheese. IT IS WORTH IT! I highly recommend you purchase the cheese for this recipe. It works wonders in the alfredo sauce.
6. Applying melted butter to the pizza crust is awesome, and trust me it tastes amazing.
7.  For a thinner crust pizza use 3/4 cup almond flour, one egg, and 1 tablespoon of cream cheese as a modification.
