Best Fathead Pizza Crust Recipe!

The recipe has been updated after the video was made, that's why the carb count is different from the recipe that is correct.

Here we've used sausage meat like in the original recipe, but feel free to put whatever you like on it. Instead of sausage, you can use pepperoni, salami, or cooked bacon. If you have any chicken, pork, or beef leftovers in the fridge, they usually make great pizza toppings.

If you don't want meat and can eat a bit higher carb, we suggest peppers, olives, artichokes or fresh tomatoes and herbs. You can also add different kinds of cheese on tops such as feta cheese, blue cheese, or even brie.

Make extra crusts and store them for 2-3 days in the fridge or in the freezer for up to 2 months. The pizza reheats great in the microwave so if you get leftovers, and you probably will cause this is very rich, enjoy them in the next day's lunch box.

This dough is so versatile! Use it as a pizza crust like in this recipe or make it into a lovely homemade garlic focaccia – simply drench with garlic butter and bake for another minute or two. Or how about serving some keto bread twists as a snack or appetizer at your next dinner party?

Tom Naughton posted the original recipe in 2013 and it's gone viral since. The name comes from the blog Tom Naughton started while making the movie Fat Head, a comedy-documentary about food and health. Haven't seen it? Watch the trailer and the full movie here

Nope. Everyone makes their keto pizza crust a different way, including me. I add a little whey protein powder to the dough which gives the crust a bread-like texture. It's optional. If you aren’t into that, here’s the original Fathead crust recipe from CookysCreations.

It happens a lot. I have 30 minutes to make dinner and everyone wants pizza. Instead of ordering delivery, I make my own keto pizza crust using this magic mozzarella dough. It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Now you’re ready to pat the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet or roll it between two pieces of parchment. I like to roll it for even thickness. Then, I roll the crust back over itself along the edges to create the look of a crust.

I like Rao’s Marinara Sauce because it’s low in carbs and tastes great, but it’s also expensive. I’ve found the best price at Costco. Target sells a good low carb sauce called Organico Bello which is more affordable. Or make your own homemade keto pizza sauce.

This low carb pepperoni pizza tastes so much like the real deal that it satisfies those pesky pizza cravings. Of course it doesn’t have the exact texture as a real pizza, but it comes pretty darn close. The crust is thin and crisp and holds up well to toppings.

Better Than Fat Head Pizza

I first discovered Fathead Pizza when I did the Keto diet for the first time about a year ago. I was telling a friend about how I missed my comfort foods, and she told me I had to try Fathead pizza.That’s not a name you forget!

Of course it’s not a real Semolina Pizza Dough, but with the cheese and toppings, you don’t really notice. This still passes the test as one of the kids’ favorite foods, and they are plenty happy on pizza night.

It’s better than other alternative crusts – I’ve tried all the unconventional flour-free crusts out there, from cauliflower pizza crust to chicken crust pizza, and I think this fathead pizza crust is the best by far.

Keto Pepperoni Pizza With Fathead Crust Recipe

I’ve done many rounds of recipe testing – I played with ratios and ingredients from the original recipe for a full year. From the order in which I incorporate the ingredients and how I bake it, this is the final version that has become a somewhat regular treat for my family. It’s the ultimate keto pizza crust!

The dough is easy to work with – It’s surprisingly crust-like and easy to roll. I also include the weights for all the ingredients in case you have a scale (affiliate), as measuring is a little easier that way.

Use the right mozzarella – Here you’ll want to use the bagged and shredded “part-skim” mozzarella and not the fresh stuff that comes in a ball. Also, if you find yourself making this often, I suggest doing a taste test of the brands at your grocery and seeing which one tastes the best. I was absolutely astonished by how much more flavorful some of them were than others. Some were like tasteless shreds of rubber, while others had sweet dairy richness.

Work quickly – Because the dough is made with so much cheese, its texture will change as it cools. So have everything ready to go so you can execute the recipe.

Have any toppings ready – If you’re adding toppings that need to be pre-cooked, have that all ready to go before you start the recipe. Pre-saute peppers, mushrooms, or whatever you need.
