STUFFED CRUST PIZZA

Stuffed Crust is a cheese lover’s delight! Now you can eat your crust first!

Pre-keto and low carb, my favorite kind of pizza was always getting a “Stuffed Crust” pizza from Pizza Hut. It’s gone away and come back. Now, we can always have it!

You have pizza you can enjoy with all the toppings and “cheesy breadsticks” (stuffed crust) with no more wasted crust!

stuffed crust: mozzarella cheese + pepperoni

You can make your own stuffed crust at home using fathead dough (scroll down to see how to make pizza with fathead dough). If you aren’t into fathead dough, you can make this family approved pizza and kid friendly pizza with a Flatbread baking mix from KetoandCo.

1. Use parchment paper to help roll out flatbread dough mix

2. Place rolled out crust on pizza sheet

3. spread cheese around edges

4. roll and fold

5. Bake crust for 8 minutes at 350F

I wanted to make sure the crust was properly cooked and the stuffed crust was properly melted.

6. sauce pizza

7. add cheese

8. add toppings of choice

9. Brush melted butter along crust

10. drizzle grated parmesan along crust

11. Bake for another 7-10 minutes at 350F until cheese and toppings are melted/cooked.

What is fathead dough? Fathead dough is low carb and keto dough that’s also gluten free! It’s made with mozzarella, egg, low carb flour like almond flour or coconut flour, and sometimes uses cream cheese. In this recipe, I did not use cream cheese. I preferred it without cream cheese so it doesn’t feel too sticky and mushy. Fathead dough can also be used to make bagels.

INGREDIENTS FOR FATHEAD DOUGH:

10oz mozzarella cheese

5oz almond flour

1 egg

1 tsp baking powder

Melted butter and grated parmesean to brush on top of crust

DIRECTIONS FOR FATHEAD DOUGH PIZZA:

Melt mozzarella cheese in microwave 3-4 times at 30 second intervals until melted and blended together.

Add almond flour, eggs, baking powder, and mix. Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty.

Assemble pizza and add toppings of your choice. For my fathead dough pizza, I assemble and bake everything all at once. No need to ensure crust is properly cooked before adding cheese.

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

For the sauce, I like using Rao’s Homemade Marinara sauce or Victoria’s Marinara sauce. These are the lowest of sugared sauces you can find. I’ve found them at Walmart, Safeway, Target, and Costco.

You can also use shredded cheese for your stuffed crust or mozzarella sticks. Use whatever you have on hand.

Enjoy!
