The Best Low Carb Pizza Crust – No Cauliflower involved!

04/18/16 | In My Kitchen, Low Carb Recipes, What's Cooking

What inspired me to make this low carb pizza crust and to write about this recipe is the recent comment and suggestion from one of my blog readers, Mags. This is what she said:

“If you want another delicious low carb pizza crust recipe, try the “fat head pizza crust.” It’s very popular and has been a life saver for low carbers everywhere! (You can just find the recipe online or find it on pinterest) I’ve made cloud-bread base for pizza before, and while it’s delicious the “crust” doesn’t hold up much, and is very soft. Fat-head pizza crust holds up like a crispy regular thin pizza crust and definitely doesn’t taste low carb-y”

The best and easiest recipe for low carb pizza - FatHead pizza

I thanked Mags and told her that I will look into this recipe, I will try to make it and if it’s “That Good”, I will spread the word about it….  Boy! I’m so glad I did and tried it! Not only it is very EASY and quick to make but man!, it is so delicious!

It doesn’t taste “low carb-y” at all, doesn’t taste egg-y and the best thing that you can keep piling up your most favorite toppings and ingredients on top and IT DOES hold them up very well and it is crispy! I’m in LOVE! Thank you Megs! It took me under 30 Minutes to make the whole entire recipe AND to even record the video! This is how easy it was! (See video in action below)

I was like, what in the world is “Fat-Head “? I saw a dozens of recipes online but couldn’t figure out why it called “FatHead”..  but I’m here to tell you it’s legit! and stands to it’s claims! It is The Best low carb pizza crust that I’ve ever tried and the good part that both of my kids loved it too. We love pizza so much! However it gives me sometimes overstuffed feeling…After eating my brand new fat head recipe, I was not over-loaded, I didn’t have any growling noises in my stomach, I didn’t feel over-stuffed and I practically felt good the rest of my evening…

FatHead pizza. Low carb, wheat free, gluten free and the easiest recipe! It's delicious too!

OK enough balloney, here’s an easy recipe, I adapted from AnnaVocino.com

The Ultimate “Fat Head” Pizza Crust  (makes a 10-12 inch thin crust pizza)

For crust:

1 and half cups shredded mozzarella
3 TBS cream cheese
1 egg
2/3 cup almond meal
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

ingredients for low carb pizza crust, fat-head pizzaFor topping:

Pizza sauce
Choice of vegetables, meat, cheese, etc. (For my toppings I used sliced up hot dogs, fresh tomatoes, roasted peppers, left-over taco meat and mozzarella cheese). I got a lot of comments on my video for using sliced up hot dogs as a pizza topping..LOL. Hey, there’s no pizza police or pizza topping police! You can put anything you want on your pizza, right?

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl until soft, about 35 seconds.  Add egg, almond meal, oregano, and basil and blend well into a dough ball.  Press into a circle shape or square shape  pizza on a parchment lined baking sheet sprayed with a thin coating of olive oil or coconut oil.  Sprinkle garlic salt and basil over surface of pizza crust. Poke few holes with fork to the crust from rising while baking.

Bake crust in oven for 8-10 mins.  Then broil (cook top) for 1-2 minutes. It should look something like this.

No-Carb pizza crust - Bake crust in oven for 8-10 mins. Then broil (cook top) for 1-2 minutes. It should look something like this.

Add your pizza sauce and toppings, pop back in oven for 4-5 more minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

      HI Cesar, thank you! Did you use foil paper or parchment paper? I found that if you use foil it gets stuck a little. Use parchment paper instead. And all I did was I used an olive oil cooking spray. at the end it didn’t get stuck practically any bit. Please also watch my video within the post. Good luck and let me know if the “stuck issue” was fixed.

    Thanks for the ideas.
    Could you substitute the mozzarella? Or reduce it by adding in something else. That’s ALOT of cheese 🙂
    Not a big dairy fan. I make my own cream cheese from milk kefir, so it’s easier on the gut.
    I wonder what properties the mozzarella brings to the pizza base that could be swapped out?

      HI Alison. You can substitute mozzarella for cheddar i suppose. If you’re not a big fan of dairy, Another good alternative is a crust made with cauliflower or out of broccoli, but I haven’t tried the broccoli crust yet

    I just made it. Was great, but crust was a bit soggy. I must have messed something up. What is broil on stovetop 2 minutes mean? Didn’t see it in the video either.

      Was the crust soggy or crust with toppings on it? If you load up the toppings yes I noticed they are soggying up the crust a little… But my crust was pretty crips. One suggestion I may suggest – use parchment paper. If it soggs up on the parchment paper, then perhaps use the plain baking sheet.
      Broil means cook the top only in the oven. Do you have this setting? YOu should… All ovens should have that. Another words – the flames or the heat is coming from the top only

        January 9, 2017 at 11:31 pm

        It was the crust that was soggy. I’m thinking from watching some videos my dough wasn’t doughy enough. Either too much cheese possible or maybe not enough almond flour. I used 2/3 cups but maybe 3/4 would have been better. Also, I baked 9 minutes, but I see some going up to 12 minutes. The more time the crispier? Thanks for the recipe!

          YOu may need to bake it more than 9 min. Then watch it so it doesn’t burn. Did you find the broil (cook top) option on your oven? Perhaps use 1 cup of mozzarella instead of 1 and half. And one more suggestion – perhaps use the cooling rack (if you have one) to bake your crust additional few minutes. This may prevent it from soggyness… Good luck

            I flipped mine over onto another piece of oiled parchment and broiled another 2 minutes. That seemed to make it crisper! (Before adding the toppings, of course!)

            January 15, 2017 at 11:39 pm

            Very good suggestion Necia! I’m thinking you can also use a cooling rack to bake or broil the pizza crust at the end for few minutes to make it crispy

    OH WOW! This is sooo good and so easy and quick (at least it will be next time). The egg & cheese in the crust (although you could add more) holds together like a flour crust. My 15yo son wanted to eat the crust before I added toppings! He liked it better with the meatball, mushroom sauce and pepper toppings though.

    I pressed it out onto parchment paper without spray, it was pretty sticky, but then turned it upside down onto the hot stone and pulled paper away. When it came from oven 10 min later, before putting toppings on, I insured it wasn’t stuck to stone. There was no problem sticking after that. Next time I’ll try spray and put parchment on stone.

    I was thrilled when I found more mozzarella cheese in the freezer so I can make another one soon!
    Now I’m wanting to try the cloud bread biscuits! I’ve so missed biscuits!

      HI Lorraine, this low carb recipe requires almond flour. I would suggest to replace with reg. gluten free flour but you still need it low carb. Try to find fluten free low carb flour. I also advise to try the cauliflower crust. It’s quite good too. Google cauliflower crust, as I have not published the cauliflower pizza crust on my blog yet. But you will find the cauliflower ice cream

    None of these recipes turn out to really be worth the effort. The pizza crust has a grainy, dry texture. The “cloud/oopsie bread tastes very ” eggy”, and collapses too easily to really even eat it as bread substitute. Better to stick with fruits, vegetables & just lean meats, eggs, cheese if going low carb. Everything else is just a wash out.

    Made it tonight. Husband gave it 6/5 stars – ha! It was really quick and easy too. Only,thing I may change next time is turning crust over to broil a few mins as well so bottom is browned. Then add toppings. Topped w uncured pepperoni, zuchinni, mushroom, then fresh tomato, red pepper flake, oregano after bake. Super yum! Thx

    Amazing pizza came out! I would like to have more guide in the recepie , for example how the dough should look like and felt like ? Mine was still very sticky after I used exact ingredients so I ended up putting more almond flour in… as well what means “bake crust for 8-10 min , than broil (top) for 1-2min” don’t you just put the crust in the oven and wait??? Or you turn it? That part I didn’t get…
    anyway pizza came out amazing even with extra cup of flour ?

    Hi Irina,

    I read all the comments, so I know i’m late to the party, but I cooked the pizza tonight. Great flavor, but I think I used too much cheese. It never formed a dough or a real crust. This sounds like too much cheese. I noticed one person comment the same and you suggested less cheese and more flour. Any new suggestions to a from a dough since last year?

    Thanks

    Rita

      HI Rita, try to follow the recipe precisely and you should have formed a nice crispy dough

      Hi Cheryl, sorry I thought I posted it, but I need to update the recipe:
      If you serve pizza into 4 slices, the nutritional value per slice (crust only) Calories 295.2
      Total Fat 24.5 g
      Saturated Fat 8.5 g
      Polyunsaturated Fat 0.4 g
      Monounsaturated Fat 1.4 g
      Cholesterol 88.4 mg
      Sodium 349.9 mg
      Potassium 32.2 mg
      Total Carbohydrate 6.5 g
      Dietary Fiber 2.3 g
      Sugars 1.1 g
      Protein 17.4 g
      This is not including the toppings – whatever you decide to put on top (vegetables or meat) will be extra. I hope this helps. Did you get similar numbers?

    Wow, tried this receipe last night and I forgot I was on a low-carb diet. The crust was perfect, crispy on the edges. My adult children tried it and loved it as well. We made a supreme pizza ; Italian sausage crumbles , mozzarella cheese, onions, bell-pepper and olives. We will definitely be having this again!

    We had to go to Plan B for dinner. This recipe only made a small, appx 9-inch diameter pizza crust (and a very thin one at that). I am guessing the crust in the blog photo was either enlarged, or the portions doubled. Also the crust itself (the 9-inch version) is almost a day’s worth of calories. So even if you only eat 1/2 of it – that’s over 600 calories! The instructions also say to put it under a broiler, but I’d be awfully careful with that, because the parchment paper WILL catch on fire.

    The good news is, I tried a bite and it was tasty. And definitely low in carbs. But the very high calories negate any low-carb benefit.

    Can you make dough ahead of time and refrigerate until you are ready to make the pizza? I would like to make up dough in the morning; then it’s all ready to be baked when i get home from work.

    Loved this recipe! Added an extra 1/4 cup of almond flour when shaping into a ball.placed dough ball between 2 sheets of parchment paper sprayed with canola spray and lightly rolled and then shaped into a rectangle.. Baked for 10 minutes on a parchment lined air flow pizza pan, turned crust over an removed the parchment paper and baked 3 more minutes. Then broiled for 3 minutes…then followed the remaining directions. Crispy and delicious! Thanks again!

      To substitute almond flour, Regular Or gluten free flour would be a good substitute.
      For low carb, you can substitute for a protein powder or carbquick baking mix

    Really good pizza crust recipe! Just made this and my picky cousin (after taking off the mushrooms) liked it enough for another piece! Anyway, a couple notes. In step 2 it says to add the basil to the dough mix. Then, it later says to add the basil along with the garlic powder to the top of the crust. It doesn’t say it’s a divided 1/2 tsp or another tsp. I just added a pinch to the top also. Also, I sprayed/oiled another piece of parchment to help spread the dough out because it was so sticky. It worked great. Use a good amount of oil or spray on the bottom so it doesn’t stick. It was yummy and very satisfying if you’re doing Keto/Low Carb and keep seeing pizza commercials on tv!

    thank you for the great recipe.

    Website suggestion: please add some color background and making comments more compactly presented. All of this white space is really hard on the eyes. I know the trend is ‘clean’ (aka ‘white’ I guess) but it is very jarring, especially since a number of us spend 8-10 hrs/day on computers for work.

    My husband and I loved the crust.. we used turkey pepperoni and fresh mozzarella along with sliced black olives and torn basil leaves. The one thing I will try different the next time, is to not preheat our baking stone.. it was maybe a little too crisp… but if you like a very crunchy crust.. go for it !!
    Bon appetite !!!
