Keto Fathead Pizza Base

33 ratings

This keto pizza base is the perfect vehicle for all your favourite low carb toppings. Once the dough is prepared you can part-bake it then finish it off with toppings of your choice.

This dough is so versatile we have also used it for our low carb mini pizzas and low carb sausage calzone.

  • Step 1

    Add the mozzarella and butter to a heat proof bowl. Create a double boiler over a pan of boiling water and melt the butter and cheese together. Stir well to combine.
    Step 1

  • Step 2

    Allow the mixture to cool a little then transfer to a food processor along with the Parmesan, cream cheese, 1 cup of the ground almonds, salt and pepper. Blend well to combine.
    Step 2

  • Step 3

    Add the egg and blend again.
    Step 3

  • Step 4

    Add the remaining ground almonds to the food processor and blend again to form a sticky dough.

  • Step 5

    Turn the dough out on a large sheet of plastic wrap and form a rough log shape. Wrap in the plastic wrap, twisting the ends to secure. Transfer to the fridge for 20 minutes to firm.
    Step 5

  • Step 6

    Once firm, roll the dough out as required. This is best part-baked for 10 minutes as a whole pizza base at 380 degrees Fahrenheit, before adding and cooking your toppings.

          The recipe says to add 1 cup of ground almonds. Then later the recipe says to add the rest of the ground almonds. But the ingredients list says only 5.5oz ground almonds total (that’s not even 1 cup). I’m very confused.

            If you actually weigh the almond flour it is more than 1 cup

            I, too, was very confused NY this.

          The texture isn't pizza crust exactly, more like a crunchy thin, savory cookie, but if you like cheese, you'll love the flavor of this crust. I made a traditional pepperoni pizza with this, as well as a Mediterranean one. Both were great. Next, spinach and blue cheese!

            I used recipe Fathead Pizza the little pine.com which included almond flour, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, egg, garlic salt, low carb pizza sauce, and pepperoni. See recipe on their Pinterest site. I changed nutrition info as info on her site. DELICIOUS.

                can you use almond flour instead of crushed almonds?

                Could you make this up, divide into 4 and keep 3 in the freezer for when it's needed?

                  SuperAvocado521215 8 months ago

                  I've divided by 4, parbaked them and then froze 3 of them, haven't tried freezing the dough

                Was really good compared to other keto crusts! Still not the same as real dough but definitely will eat this again!

                  This was ridiculously complicated. The write ups implied I could throw this together after work, but an hour and a half later, I’m still waiting to eat. The base was sticky which required me to add flour. Kind of lost the point if Keto. Diet Doctor has a truly 5 minute prep base. I’m sticking to that.

                    It was a bit messy for sure but I never let mine sit in the refrigerator for a bit. I think if you meal plan…. This would not be as much of a hassle. And believe me I know that frustration of being “HANGRY” everything seems like it takes longer.

                    Its supposed to be sticky if you roll it out between two sheets of parchment or one sheet on top of a pizza stone sprayed with olive oil then roll it out its perfect. I cook mine in the BBQ at 425° 8 min then add toppings and cook til cheese is melted. Never takes me more than 30 min. I mix with my mixer and dough hook.
