THIN-CRUST FATHEAD PIZZA DOUGH



Thin-Crust Fathead Pizza Dough image

Made without cream cheese, this crust is not only keto-friendly but also tastes just like pizza! Even though it's thin, the xanthan gum helps make it sturdy enough to pick up and hold all your favorite pizza toppings. Note that the yeast won't help the dough rise since it's lacking sugar to activate it; it is solely included to add traditional bread-like flavor. Shred your own mozzarella from a block of cheese instead of buying pre-shredded; the latter does not melt well.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons yeast
2 tablespoons warm water
1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup blanched almond flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
  • Place mozzarella cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until cheese is completely melted. Stir in yeast mixture and egg and stir to combine; mixture will not incorporate well at this point.
  • Stir in almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. If mixture is difficult to mix, reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften the cheese. Stir again until well incorporated. Using your hands, knead the dough for 2 minutes.
  • Place dough on baking sheet and press with your fingers into a thin crust, approximately 11-12 inches in diameter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, top with your favorite pizza toppings, and return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

KETO PEPPERONI PIZZA WITH FATHEAD CRUST



Keto Pepperoni Pizza with Fathead Crust image

Even though this pizza is low-carb and keto-friendly, the whole family will devour it! It's also made without cream cheese! You can switch out the toppings for whatever you prefer. Note that the yeast is added solely for bread-like flavor in this recipe and not as a raising agent, since there is no sugar present to activate the yeast. Use your favorite no-sugar-added pizza sauce or marinara sauce. I highly recommend shredding your own mozzarella as the bagged variety doesn't melt well.

Categories     Bread     Pizza Dough and Crust Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons yeast
2 tablespoons warm water
3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided

1 pinch red pepper flakes to taste

  • Mix yeast into warm water in a small cup, stirring to dissolve. Set aside.
  • Place 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Stir in the yeast mixture and egg; stir to combine. The mixture will not incorporate well at this point.
  • Stir in almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. If difficult to mix, reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften the cheese. Stir again until well incorporated. Knead dough by hand for 2 minutes.
  • Place dough on the prepared baking sheet and press with your fingers into a thin crust 11 to 12 inches in diameter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over pizza. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, then scatter pepperoni on top.
  • Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Cut into 6 slices.

Time 50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees F/40 to 45 degrees C)
¼ cup white sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Mix warm water and sugar together in a bowl; add yeast. Set aside until yeast mixture becomes foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour yeast mixture into a large bowl; add flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead dough for 6 to 8 minutes, adding more flour to keep dough from sticking to your hands if needed. Cover bowl and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Grease 2 pizza pans or baking sheets.
  • Divide dough in half. Make each half into a ball shape and roll each into a flat, circular crust using a rolling pin.
  • Place 1 piece dough over your hands with your knuckles turned upward directly underneath the center of the dough. Using your knuckles and backs of your hands, toss the dough into the air in a circular motion, spinning the dough. This thins the center of the dough and forms the padded edge of the pizza. When the edge of the dough is about 1/4-inch thick, place the dough onto the pan. Pizza diameter will be about 10 inches. Repeat with other piece of dough.

THIN PIZZA CRUST



Thin Pizza Crust image

From "A Taste of Italy" Cookbook. This is my all time favorite pizza dough. It can be used as either thin which is our favorite or for a thicker crust. I have even used it to make grilled pizzas when it was too hot to turn on the oven. Hope you try it. It is a little time consuming but it is so worth it. I can make 2,12 inch pizzas 1, 17 inch pizza, or 8, 5 inch pizzas from this recipe.

  • Knead 5 minuted on flour surface until smooth and elastic. Coat with cooking spray, place in a bowl and cover.
  • Let rise 30 minutes for thicker dough, and 2 hours for thinner dough.
  • After rising time punch down. Thinner crust divide in half. If thicker crust use all of dough. let rest 10 minutes.
  • Dust pizza pan with cornmeal. Flatten dough on pan; gently pulling and stretching to fit pan, if it resists let dough rest another 5 minutes.
  • Brush with oil. Take a fork and pierce dough several times to keep dough from forming air pockets. Bake for 7 minutes.
  • Take dough out and put you favorite topping on and then continue baking for another 7 to 10 minutes.
  • If you want to make grilled pizza I usually make small individual pizzas that way everyone can add their own topping from an array of ingredients. Place flattened dough on grill for about 5 minutes flip and add all ingredients for pizza. cook until cheese is melted and bottom of crust is crispy.
