Keto Pizza (Fathead Crust)

The one that took off — a genuinely great gluten-free pizza on a fathead crust.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  2. 2

    In a glass bowl, heat the cream cheese and 2 cups mozzarella until slightly melted (about 1 min 20 sec). Mix with a metal spoon to combine well.

  3. 3

    Add the egg, almond flour, and Italian dressing mix, and mix thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Wet your hands with cold water and spread the dough on a parchment-lined pizza pan — thin and even. Re-wet hands as needed.

  5. 5

    Bake 10–12 minutes, popping any bubbles with a fork.

  6. 6

    Remove and top in this order: pizza sauce to the edges, Parmesan, then the pepperoni, onion, mushrooms, and olives, and finally the 1½ cups mozzarella.

  7. 7

    Bake another 12–13 minutes, until the cheese browns slightly and bubbles.

  8. 8

    Let rest 5 minutes, then slice and serve (I like mine with chili flakes on top!).

Brooke’s note

This crust takes any toppings — I've done shrimp alfredo, supreme, and a fancy prosciutto, goat cheese, and basil version. Just swap the toppings in the topping step.
