How to cook deliciously - Keto Pepperoni Pizza with Fathead Crust

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Stage

Mix yeast into warm water in a small cup, stirring to dissolve. Set aside.

3. Stage

Place 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Stir in the yeast mixture and egg; stir to combine. The mixture will not incorporate well at this point.

4. Stage

Stir in almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. If difficult to mix, reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften the cheese. Stir again until well incorporated. Knead dough by hand for 2 minutes.

5. Stage

Place dough on the prepared baking sheet and press with your fingers into a thin crust 11 to 12 inches in diameter.

6. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over pizza. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, then scatter pepperoni on top.

7. Stage

Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Cut into 6 slices.
