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.
Enjoy your Keto Fathead Pepperoni and Jalapeno Pizza, packed with flavors and perfect for staying within your dietary goals. This pizza proves that low-carb doesn't mean missing out on taste.
