Keto Fathead Pepperoni and Jalapeno Pizza is a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional pizza, perfect for those on a ketogenic or low-carb diet. This recipe utilizes a fathead dough base made primarily from mozzarella cheese and almond flour, resulting in a satisfying and flavorful crust that pairs perfectly with pepperoni, jalapenos, and your favorite keto-friendly toppings.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds, or until melted. Stir again to combine.
- Add the almond flour, egg, salt, and rosemary to the melted cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into a circular shape, about 1/4 inch thick, for your pizza crust.
- Transfer the rolled dough (with the bottom parchment sheet) onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the tomato sauce.
- Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices and jalapeno slices over the pizza.
- Sprinkle the dried basil over the toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Fathead Pepperoni and Jalapeno Pizza!
Tips:
- Preheat Your Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to the required temperature before baking the pizza to achieve a crispy and well-cooked crust.
- Use Parchment Paper: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper when rolling it out to prevent sticking and make transferring to the baking sheet easier.
- Precook the Crust: Bake the fathead crust alone for a few minutes before adding the toppings. This helps the crust become firm and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add other keto-friendly toppings like olives, mushrooms, spinach, or extra cheese to suit your taste preferences.
- Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on the pizza while it's baking to avoid overcooking the cheese. Remove it from the oven once the cheese is melted and bubbly.
