Description
This Keto Fathead Dough recipe is a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional dough, perfect for making pizza crusts, bagels, and more. Made with mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, and eggs, it’s a versatile and delicious option for keto-friendly baking.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for puffier dough)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese.
- Microwave the mixture for about 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and well combined.
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, and garlic powder to the cheese mixture and mix well.
- Add the egg and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, knead it slightly with oiled or wet hands.
- Use immediately for your desired recipe, such as pizza crust, bagels, or breadsticks.
- Bake according to the specific recipe you’re making, typically around 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- You can knead the dough between parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Reheat the dough for a few seconds in the microwave if it becomes too hard to work with.
- Coconut flour can be used instead of almond flour, but adjust the quantity since it’s more absorbent.
