Keto Pepperoni Pizza with Fathead Dough

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Keto Pepperoni Pizza with Fathead Dough.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a small cup, gently mix the yeast into warm water until it dissolves, then set it aside to work its magic.

3. Step 3

   Next, grab a medium microwave-safe bowl and combine 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese.

4. Step 4

   Pop it in the microwave for about 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until it’s beautifully melted.

5. Step 5

   Once melted, stir in the yeast mixture and a beaten egg until everything is combined; don’t worry if it doesn’t fully blend just yet.

6. Step 6

   Now, add in the almond flour, xanthan gum, and a pinch of salt.

7. Step 7

   If the mixture feels a bit tough to combine, give it another quick zap in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to soften the cheese, then mix until it’s well incorporated.

8. Step 8

   Take a moment to knead the dough by hand for about 2 minutes, allowing it to come together nicely.

9. Step 9

   Transfer your dough to the prepared baking sheet and use your fingers to press it out into a thin crust, aiming for a lovely 11 to 12 inches in diameter.

10. Step 10

    Bake this crust in your preheated oven for around 10 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden brown and inviting.

11. Step 11

    Once it’s ready, spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the crust, then sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese on top, followed by a scattering of pepperoni slices for that classic touch.

12. Step 12

    Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly.

13. Step 13

    If you like a little kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before slicing it into six delicious pieces.

14. Step 14

    Enjoy your homemade pizza, and savor every bite!.
