Directions
Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray or pizza stone.
Make the fathead dough
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add 170g shredded mozzarella and 30g cream cheese.
- Microwave for 1 minute, then stir.
- Microwave again for 30 seconds until melted and combined.
- Add 85g almond flour, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt (and optional oregano).
- Mix well with a spatula or your hands until a dough forms. (It will be sticky at first; knead until smooth.)
Shape and bake the crust
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a thin circle (~25cm).
- Transfer to the baking tray and prick a few holes in it with a fork to avoid bubbling.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and slightly crisp at the edges.
Add toppings and final bake
- Spread the tomato passata (60g) evenly over the crust.
- Top with 100g mozzarella and your chosen toppings (like pepperoni or bacon).
- Return to the oven and bake for another 6–8 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve
- Let the pizza cool for 2–3 minutes, slice, and enjoy!
- Optionally garnish with fresh basil or a sprinkle of dried oregano.
