- Fathead pizza is something that I eat almost daily (seriously, it's that good). In this episode, I show you how to make and meal prep this low-carb/keto recipe so that you can eat it 6 times before needing to make more!
www.blacktiekitchen.com for this recipe and more!
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 oz cream cheese
- 510g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 255g almond flour
- 3 eggs
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- Whatever toppings you want
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C
- Crack the eggs, add the salt, and scramble
- Add the eggs to the almond flour and mix
- Melt the cream cheese and the mozzarella cheese in a pan over medium heat or the microwave. If using a pan, constantly stir so that it does not burn. If using the microwave, heat for 30 second intervals, mix, and repeat.
- When the cheese is melted, turn off the heat and mix in the almond flour. Mix until it is well combined. If the cheese gets too stiff, put the pan on low, or microwave for 15 seconds - you want to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Once the dough is well mixed, cut into as many pizzas as you want. Grab a piece and lay it on a piece of parchment paper. Cover the dough with another piece of parchment paper, then shape the dough to your desired shape and thickness.
- Remove the top parchment paper and using a fork, poke the dough liberally to make holes throughout. This prevents the dough from creating a cheese balloon as it bakes.
- Place the dough with the parchment paper onto a baking sheet and into the oven for 12 minutes.
- While you parkbake the dough, prepare your toppings.
- When the timer is up, remove the dough from the oven. Set it on a heat-safe surface or pad and add your toppings (I'm a fan of sour cream, black pepper, and cheese).
- Place the pizza back into the over for another 12 minutes.
- Once the timer is up, remove, and enjoy!

I think this is what's gonna save me when I'm tempted to have a carb filled cheat day. Love your presentation style!
Thanks! This pizza has saved me maaaaaany a times where i almost had real pizza
This is the best cooking show on the internet 😂
That's a high accolade with all the good shows out there! 😄
I agree
Yes indeed
I love that you think of food prepping and freezing ahead. I’m disabled and some days I want to eat and lay down. Thank you!
It's an important aspect in my opinion, especially when it comes to pizza!
I just discovered you and I am bingeing all your vids. A+++ on style, humor, and entertainment!! Same for great recipes W O W sooo good. You are just too adorable as well :)
Thanks! Make sure to share your favorite videos 😉
I hardly eat any of the foods you make! But live vicariously through you..... And imagine! I need my daily dose of Black Tie humour
haha thanks Ingrid! I wish I was able to put out content everyday to keep you entertained daily!
@@BlackTieKitchen no problem as I have to get through all your videos still. I discovered you through Steve from Serious Keto.
So you've been putting out content for a few years now. It will keep me entertained for a while.
Thank you, Mr. Blacktie! You're the best! This is a great fix so we can stay on top of our pizza addiction. ❤🍕❤
I decided to give this a shot tonight and it was a hit, even those that aren't gluten free in my house. I was a bit leary after trying the pretzel dog recipe and failing, but that must have been operator error. Thanks for the recipe!
Glad everyone enjoyed it! If you want an even better pizza recipe, you should try my pizza 2.0 recipe! th-cam.com/video/iNlgX2EJeJo/w-d-xo.html
@@BlackTieKitchen gluten free? I'm supposed to be since I have celiac but damned if gluten doesn't find its way into my system at times. LOL
Bah, nevermind then :( Ill be looking to create a gluten free one (I have friends that are allergic to wheat that bug me about it lol)
I've been making excellent fathead dough ahead of time and freezing it in small portions so I can make a recipe anytime I like. I learned that you don't really need cream cheese in the recipe, especially if you're looking for a more substantial dough. So I eliminate the cream cheese. I found that it actually tastes better without it. I tried using sour cream once an it was really tasty and nice, but I have worked with this dough until I've eliminated everything it doesn't need in order to save money on groceries that are getting as high as a kite in price these days.
True
I have made this only once before seeing this, and it turned out, well, awesome! Nice trick to use sour cream as a base for the spicy pepperoni. I have also made pizzas without a crust, only chopped leftover chicken and mozza, with other interesting bits. May have to lay up a store of fathead crusts in the freezer for lazy weeknight (and guilt-free) meals.
Enjoyed...I’m all about the pizza......thanks for receipt....
This is my favorite keto meal prep video
Thanks!
I like the functionality 👍 amazing video thanks
EDIT: I tried it now and omg who would miss the regular dough this is much better 😋 and I like that I don't have to do the whole work every time I want a pizza!
Yeah, its pretty good! However, if you DO want to put in a little work, my pizza 2.0 is 👌
@@BlackTieKitchen Definitely gonna try! Thank you 😊
I've watched this maybe 5 times. @ 2:03 mark. Nice.
haha fathead pizza is old school these days!
I’m in love
With the pizza? Because, I agree
Omg just saw your video and felt motivated to make it. So yummy 😋
Thank you 😊

Acabo de encontrar este canal es increíble
Gracias! Me gustaria hacerlo en español tambien, pero el tiempo no me alcanza :/
@@BlackTieKitchen no importa, tu vídeos ya son de gran calidad
Muuuuxhas gracias!
New subscriber! I love your style. Great tip about making the parchment paper, and the pizzas, The size of the bag
Thanks! Yeah - in my experience, it's waaaay easier to make a big batch than go through the trouble everytime (especially since I dont have a microwave 😂)
By the looks of the glass might want to use the self-clean button on the hot box 😁
Excellent
Trying to find yummy but low carb/keto recipes, not just for me, but for my fella. Hes borderline diabetic and well, could use some help. I understand old habits are hard to break, but with the right recipes, it can be done! My 1st keto experience, I lost a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time...I truly believe folks get "addicted " to carbs, especially simple carbs, and processed foods...the American diet has changed drastically for the worst over the last several decades, and the proof shows...the human body isn't made to carry a bunch of extra weight..and you'll pay the consequences for being overweight...I know I did..I was just miserable! (High blood pressure, depression, anxiety, joints and body aches, sluggish feeling all the time, low sex drive..)..thanks for the video/recipe!
You can most definitely get addicted to carbs - there's a certain combo of sugar and salt that's known to be super addicting. And yeah, the overweight stuff - you really start to feel it ^_^;
Oh, yum! Very tasty. My oven must run hotter than yours so the first one got a bit ……… blackish. But, onward and upward (or downwards when it came to temperature) and the next one was great. Topped with some Raos pizza sauce, pepperoni, bacon and a hint of onion. A bit more cheese and it was really good. Now, in addition to making your tortillas for my Dennis, I must add pizza too. Do I dare try another of your recipes?

It’s next on my list😊
Bruh. I’ve followed 4 different recipes all were a giant pain but delicious enough for me to keep on truckin’. Now I can have it easy AND yummy!? Thanks! (Tried before I discovered your channel a few weeks ago)
Fathead is probably the easiest one to make and cook. If you want the best version of pizza (that requires a little work), try out v2.0!: th-cam.com/video/iNlgX2EJeJo/w-d-xo.html
I'm starting to get the feeling that you really like pizza. 🤭 the competitive side of me wants to have you try my fathead pizza but my social anxiety prevents me from making these kind of videos so for now... I'll defer to you 🤠🍕 love the video!
I have a pizza problem! What's different in your recipe?
@@BlackTieKitchen its not really about whats in it, but rather the technique. Which I do believe I've mastered if I do say so myself. Less mess, only 1 bowl and rubber spatula needed for the dough, no hand kneeding... And now I am getting hungry and will have to make some tonight 😅🍕
I don’t usually laugh out loud at food videos, but this one I think I counted at least 3 times.
Yay! 😄
I love this
Thanks!
@@BlackTieKitchen This actually is one the best keto and entertaining channels. Not sure why the views aren't crushing it. But I'll push in my own small way. Please keep going with this. :)
Thanks, I appreciate it - means a lot!
Love your channel. You always make my husband and I laugh. I've never tried sour cream on a pizza so yeah I guess that's something to try. I've shared your channel around, hope you do well, because they are very clever. Please consider adding English Subtitles, TH-cam auto sub-title is pretty bad at determining what your narration is saying
Thanks! Sour cream is 👌 on pizza!
Ive always been amazed at what youtube can subtitle but never really look as it takes a few days for it to go through. Ill start reviewing them!0
I looooooove your videos!
Thanks!
@@BlackTieKitchen No,thank you!
Not even two mins in and already good. Uses the sharpest knife ever to cut paper........ Still can't find a sharp knife for limes, or lemons. Love live the channel.
Lol... My knives.... Have become dull and im afraid to sharpen some of them 😂
15k views for such an enthralling video should be criminal. Def gonna support thru Patreon once my next paid check hits 😭
Sciracha on pizza? I like the way you think! I would also use Cholula or Tapatio hot sauce. So good.
Tapatio and Cholula are 🔥
"...or Poe's X-Wing..."...did a double-take there...makes me wonder what else is in the cabinets around the kitchen :D
Things that even I dont know about 😂
@@BlackTieKitchen That....sounds remarkably familiar :) Though I've never found any X-Wings in the hotbox, they're very nicely put on the right spot with other Star Wars related objects :)
I do have plenty of almond flour on hand as I was going to make amaretti cookies; but this looks much better. lol Do you ever put the calorie and fat content in your recipes? Just curious. Great video.
for some reason, your comments werent showing up until now -_- I usually put the macros on the recipe card that ill put up on my site. There are a few recipes missing that im working on getting up there though
I love the idea of batch prepping a bunch of pizza crusts! If you freeze them, do you thaw one before prebaking it, or do you just increase the time?
I just remove them from the freezer while the oven preheats. Theyre so thin that they defrost and cook quickly!
@@BlackTieKitchen Awesome, and thanks for the quick reply ☺️
Well that might be my next try with keto pizza, always got a bad crust with cauliflour ( smooshing and doesn't hold ).

@@BlackTieKitchen Yeah i know this is the video that made me discover your channel ( nice looking pizza ! ) I will try this for sure in the futur for now i'll keep it simple with few ingredients.
how many carbs for the whole thing
Is it worth trying to mix it with the dough hook in the stand mixer? I suppose so, especially if you're feeding many mouths.
I never tried, but im going to guess that no, it's not worth it. As soon as the cheese begins to cool, the dough becomes difficult to deal with. BUT, I haven't tried it, so I could be dead wrong!
Ah, cooling. Makes sense! Thanks a bunch.
Have you tried the microwave method for making fathead? It's a lot easier than the stovetop.
I have, but... I dont have a microwave 😂. I will say though, if you're meal prepping it, or making a lot, I find it's easier on the stovetop. That much cheese in the microwave turns into fine line of "its melting, aaaand now it's burnt.'
Oh ho ho! Nice parchment paper box trick. Now you're thinking outside ...the..box..?
haha depends how big the box is lol
Hmmm....does a tortilla press work for this? Ultra thing crust!!!
LOVE the mass roduction for freezing!
I've thought abou tit - but for fathead, i think youd end up with a bigger mess than youd want to deal with
Great recipes!! great channel, love the voice in off, i have two questions,,, if i'm using coconut fluor, how much i should use? can i save the fathead cooked? regards from Perú!!
Desde Perú! En que area/ciudadu? Unfortunately you cant substitute coconut flour one to one - it's an absolute moisture sponge and will yield a very dry bread. I havent tried storing the pie cooked, but my guess would be that it would reheat very dry. What you *could* do is parbake the crust and save that.
@@BlackTieKitchen Thanks!! you just got me watching your tortillas video haha good one, appreciate so much the effort you put on your videos, i live in Lima, the keto lifestyle is growing over here, and we´re always looking for new recipes, gracias por las recetas y los consejos tienes un nuevo amigo y seguidor por este lado del mundo, saludos!!
Chevre! Muchas gracias! Solo tienes que decirle a la gente que solo comes lomo saltado y ceviche, pero chincha morada: no 😂😂
@@BlackTieKitchen jajaja lomo saltado sin papas ni arroz y ceviche sin camote, veo que sabes de nuestra comida, imaginaras como hemos sufrido para evitar tantos carbs de la cocina peruana, que grata sorpresa!!!
Jaja sip! Yo trabajaba con un equipo Peruano - estube en Lima dos o tres veces, pero nunca tube la oportunidad de conocer mucho :(
My dough came out kind of soft and sticky. The parchment paper was sticking to it. I followed the measurements exactly. What could have gone wrong?
Was this before cooking? fat head dough is naturally somewhat sticky due to all the cheese in it. It's one of the reasons I've moved away from it. It's also possible that moisture levels in the cheese are slightly different and the cheese you used has a higher amount
If we get out of the freezer how long do we bake it or do let it get to room temp???
I just parbake it straight from the freezer. Theyre so thin that they defrost super quick
@@BlackTieKitchen Awesome thanks for the fast reply!!!
Have you tried parbaking the crust, topping, freezing, then going straight from freezer to oven? Thanks!
Fathead cooks really quickly - doing that would lead to the crust burning but the toppings not getting to the cooked state in which you want them! (At least, that's what happened in my experimentation 😂)
@@BlackTieKitchen Oh no! 🙈 Was trying to figure out a way to have the full pizza assembled for freezing and cooking. If full assemble isn't feasible, may include kits with frozen sauce and toppings for each crust.
You can definitely assemble them - you just dont need to parbake them first (in my experience)
@@BlackTieKitchen Thank you! Kept me from making a HUGE mistake.
Itd still be a tasty error!
I'm intrigued .... why sour cream? I know because it's you that it's some genius foodie hack not known to the little people (aka people who own microwaves). I'm also curious ... yes fathead is Keto but still not something most people can eat everyday ... how do you stay so fit while eating this every day? More power to you.
Believe it or not, tomatoes tend to give me heartburn for some reason and Im simply not that big a fan. Im a huge fan of white pizza and sour cream is close to it without any extra work 😂
I used to workout a lot - but my schedule now is super hectic so I dont get as much time anymore, womp womp 😔
Is the sour cream a personal choice, or would tomato sauce not work with this crust somehow?
Im a bigger fan of white sauce pizzas - oddly, tomatoes and tomato sauce can give me heartburn 😂
Ah, the good ol’ pre-2.0 days 😉
haha this was pre 1.0 days lol
Fight the good fight! Don't give into the Microwave cult!
Haha 👍
Can you tell me if there are actually recipes here I cups and tsp to tablespoon, this gram crap does not work for me, any one else, these recipes look amazing please convert for us that do not use grams much or At all.
Grams is the best way to go - Low carb/keto cooking requires precision, to the point where 1g can make a large difference. Thus, I recommend you buy a $10 food scale as it will pay dividends wherever you get recipes. Also, maybe if you asked nicely, thatd help too.
@@BlackTieKitchen I have a scale
I guess I dont understand the problem then 🤷♂️
@@BlackTieKitchen no problem just like a recipe that has measurements is all, I will find my scale, thank you so much
Questions: What flour can be used besides the dreaded allergic almond flour? How about enough doe to make a normal size 18 inch with a normal real Italian thickness pizza. Not thick but real pizzeria style. Being from upstate NY we know what real pizza is. As well as NYC does.
If youre looking to make a low carb pizza, there arent many options. Oat flour, coconut flour, and lupin flours are your best bet, but they have properties that make them less than ideal. My pizza 2.0 version would be a good starting point for more NY style pizza, but it too has almond flour: th-cam.com/video/iNlgX2EJeJo/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been wanting to live without a microwave but how?! 😭💔
What do you use your microwave for? (Besides fathead)
@@BlackTieKitchen lol oh of course for fathead dough, we mostly warm up leftovers that’s it otherwise I’d just use the stove - but the convenience oh!! 🤭
Ahh. I cant stand the texture and taste of microwave reheated meats and such, so it was easy for me to just not have a microwave 😂
Or use your tortilla press
It's a small one :/
That's a great idea for personal size pizzas! I'm gonna give it a go! Thanks for the idea!
Thank you, thank you thank you!! And I'm convinced the 3 down voters must have the world's fattest thumbs and just hit the wrong button lol
Haha it's ok 😂🤷♂️ Cant please everyone 😄
Trumpet...lol
Wow.. Clean that oven glass, man.. A little soapy water and a razor blade does it fast. You were on the way to stardom over 2 years ago, already got your style cooking.. Fathead dough is yummy.
For some reason it's between the two panes of glass :(
@@BlackTieKitchen AHHH... Well, it can still be done... Just not as easy. First, the half assed method.. th-cam.com/video/WzdRBcXFhsc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GEAppliances Then the whole assed method... th-cam.com/video/a3TwVlcbGdw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ThatDadMikeThatDadMike It has been done before, but what hasn't?... video idea, maybe?
On a side note, I sometimes wonder how it gets in there to begin with.
@@putnutskitchen9342 my oven is brand new, and somehow something trailed all down the glass on the inside. Drives me nuts! I'm an oven cleaning maniac. OCD? I clean my oven as soon as burnt bits appear. Let me check out the video? I know I can unscrew the glass.... Just have to work that one out.
So what branch of military service were you in?
None, actually. But a lot of friends were!
That wasn't pepperoni that was kielbasa
It was pepperoni - I made sure to buy pepperoni lol. Kielbasa would be good too
Dennis you need to clean your oven door . Because ANTS
😂😂😂
So what part of the country are you in? I’m in Illinois unfortunately lol. I’m a disabled Marine Veteran and all I have to do all day is watch TH-cam.
Florida! And thank you for your service John
I just moved back here almost 5 years ago. Was living in Alabama for almost 40 years. That’s where my wife is from. Keep up the great and entertaining videos.
Just to let you know I’m a disabled veteran suffer from PTSD real bad and you are very welcome distraction in my life just thought I’d throw that out there and let you know that you are appreciated.
Ummmm Bear t-shirt.....
Don’t be lazy people. Grate your cheese, avoid the starch, and eat PIZZA. Though we all know 6 days a week isn’t good for you right?.....(crickets)
6 days is fine... 7 is crossing the line ;-)
Am I right? Was it a Russian swear word in the last 3 seconds? It just sounded like that 🙄
I dont know any russian besides niet... So if it sounds like it - complete coincidence lol
@@BlackTieKitchen Oh, sorry :) I guess I should check my hearing 😊
Haha it's cool. I DID try to speak some Russian in the Moscow Mule video 😂 th-cam.com/video/aJsRnK7Cg2w/w-d-xo.html
@@BlackTieKitchen Oh, I saw something like a patty with this type of dough. I`m not sure if `patty` is the right word. It is a little circle-shaped piece of dough - you put the filling on one of the sides and cover it with the empty side and then just press the sides. So it is a kinda moon shape pastry. Also can be stored in the fridge :)
Thats what I would call an empanada, or when they use pastry dough- it's a turnover. I long for eating good empanadas again (i grew up eating them all the time!)
You lost me with all the crazy crap with the parchment paper. Seriously??
Why is it crazy? It's more cost effective than using a bunch of bags - and you need to use the parchment paper to bake it, regardless.
@@BlackTieKitchen maybe it was watching at 2am, just seemed overly fussy.
It's really not that big a problem and it falls in line with normal meal prep. I HAVE however moved to a better pizza recipe: th-cam.com/video/iNlgX2EJeJo/w-d-xo.html
@@BlackTieKitchen Thanks, I will check it out.
