Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oat FIBER or psyllium husk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • In microwave safe bowl place mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 60 seconds on high. Take out and stir. Microwave again for 60 seconds, then stir again. Depending on your microwave you will may need an additional 30-60 seconds until all the cheese is melted and combined.
  • Add the melted cheese to the food processor. Place all dry ingredients in the food processor. (Almond flour, oat FIBER, salt and baking powder). Add the egg and secure the lid. Give a few pulses to combine all ingredients in the food processor.
  • Stop food processor and remove lid. Scrape down sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula to ensure you have combined all of the egg and dry ingredients into the dough. Close lid and give 2-6 more pulses on the food processor.
  • (Optional Chill Time) Wrap up the dough in the plastic wrap to seal into a round disc/ball of dough. Refrigerate until ready to use, but at least 1 hour.

Flatten and Use

  • Place a sheet of parchment paper on counter and drizzle or spray with a tiny bit of olive oil. Place ball of dough in middle of the parchment paper. Oil a second sheet of parchment paper and place face down on top. Flatten down with your palm, then with a rolling pin roll out dough to your desired shape.
  • Use this dough for pizza, pigs in a blanket, stromboli, cinnamon rolls, danishes and more.

Notes

When making fathead dough in the food processor I usually triple the batch.  Yes, triple.  Once the triple batch of the dough is made I divide into 3 balls of dough.  I wrap each ball of dough in plastic  wrap and store in the fridge until ready to use for pizza, cinnamon rolls, pigs in a blanket, stromboli, danishes, etc.
