Pizza Dough- Fat Head

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • your choice of toppings such as pepperoni peppers, cherry tomatoes, olives, ground/mince beef, mushrooms, herbs etc

Instructions

  • Mix mozzarella & cream cheese in a medium size  microwaveable bowl for 1 min at 50%, stir and then another 30 sec, stir (very hot!)
  • Stir in egg &  almond flour; then add salt & garlic
  • Wet hands and spread “dough” thin on parchment paper. It should spread evenly with dough-like consistency (if “stringy” then your cheese has hardened too much—just put it back in the microwave for maybe another 20 seconds)
  • OR option: Place in between 2 pieces of baking parchment/paper and roll into a circular pizza shape. Remove the top baking paper/parchment.
  • Make fork holes all over pizza base to ensure it cooks evenly and avoid bubbling
  • Slide the baking paper/parchment with the pizza base, on a baking tray (cookie tray) or pizza stone, and bake at 425F for 12-15 minutes, or until brown. After about 8 minutes, check it and poke holes where any large bubbles may be.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and add all the toppings you like. Make sure any meat is already cooked as this time it goes back into the oven just to heat up the toppings and melt the cheese.
  • Bake again at 425F for 5 minutes.

Note: pastry can also be made by replacing the almond meal with 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp) coconut flour. https://www.ditchthecarbs.com/fat-head-pizza/

Flax Seed Crackers

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ground flaxseed (Bob Red Mill’s Premium Gold Flax or grind your own)
  • 1 cup water start with 3/4 c. and add more as needed to make a workable dough
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until an even dough forms. 
  • Spread evenly onto a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet – about 1/8-1/4 inch thick. Gently cut dough into squares on the baking sheet (you just need to score the dough so it snaps after it’s baked – be careful not to cut up your silicone mat or cookie sheet!) 
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until crisp and edges are browned but not burnt.
