Fat Head Pizza

Who doesn't love pizza? The thought of never eating pizza again is a little unrealistic really. Fear not my low carb friends, the Fat Head Pizza is a life saver! Although a little high in carbs to eat every day,  pizza is a wonderful treat for a party or a family movie night. The dough is made with cheese, almond flour and an egg. It is fast and simple to throw together and satisfies that Friday night pizza craving. There is a coconut flour version out there for those that have nut allergies. I have not tried it yer but Sugar-Free Mom has one I bet would work well.

Here is my version.

Recipe

The crust

1 1/2 Cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

3/4 Cup almond flour

2 Tablespoons cream cheese

1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 425 and line a pan with parchment paper.

Make sure to have your almond flour measured and your egg beaten before you start. 

In a microwaveable bowl add the mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat on high for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir quickly. Return to microwave for another 30 seconds. Quickly add almond flour and beaten egg and mix until well blended. 

While still warm, spread out on parchment lined pizza pan or cookie sheet. Poke holes with a fork throughout crust to prevent bubbling.

Bake in convection oven 425 for 10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. 

Remove from oven to dress crust

The Topping

1 tsp olive oil or ghee or butter

30 grams red onion

100 grams white mushrooms

1/4 Cup pizza sauce 

20 slices pepperoni

1/2 Cup shredded mozzarella cheese

40 grams shredded parmigiana Regiano 

Heat small frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil, ghee or butter. 

Sauté vegetables until cooked and set aside.

Once crust has been cooked, add the sauce, vegetables, pepperoni and cheeses. 

Set oven to broil. Return pizza to oven and broil for 3-5 minutes or until top is bubbly and golden

I divide into 8 slices. Each slice has about 5 net carbs. 

I hope you enjoy this treat as much as we do.
