Thin-Crust Fathead Pizza Dough

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 2 tablespoons warm water
• 1.5 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1 large egg , lightly beaten
• 1 cup blanched almond flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.13 teaspoons salt

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Set aside for about 5 minutes.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Stir in almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. If mixture is difficult to mix, reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften the cheese. Stir again until well incorporated. Using your hands, knead the dough for 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Place dough on baking sheet and press with your fingers into a thin crust, approximately 11-12 inches in diameter.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, top with your favorite pizza toppings, and return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
