This low carb pizza was given its name from the movie Fat Head, which is well worth a watch if you’re interested in the food industry. You can find the original recipe <\/a>here<\/a>. This pizza has quickly become one of the favourite pizzas of many a low-carber. My friend Helen recently posted her version of the Fat Head recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n Most often I will make a double-batch pizza, as I did today on a 12″ pizza tray, therefore I would double the ingredients you see below.<\/p>\n NOTE: This article might have been posted on 1st April but this pizza is no April Fools’ Day joke.<\/p>\n With the right ingredients this should work out at roughly 20g carbohydrates for the WHOLE PIZZA<\/strong>, then add carbs for whatever toppings you’re using.

\nAt a push I could eat one whole pizza, but two-thirds is more my portion-size (and I can eat a lot of pizza) as this is really filling.
\nBut hold on…there’s a lot of protein which may raise your glucose levels…and fat too? If you have Type 1 Diabetes you might need to bolus accordingly for fat and protein.<\/p>\nThe ingredients<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n\nFor a single pizza<\/strong>
\n175g grated mozzarella
\n75g almond flour
\n35g cream cheese \/ Philadelphia
\npinch salt
\n1 egg
\npassata
\ngrated cheddar
\nand lots of toppings\n<\/div>\n\nFor a double 12″ pizza, like I made today<\/strong>
\n350g grated mozzarella
\n150g almond flour
\n35g cream cheese \/ Philadelphia<\/span>
\npinch garlic<\/strong> salt
\n2 eggs
\npassata
\ngrated cheddar
\nand lots of toppings: 2 chillies, 1 pepper, 6 slices pepperoni, 2 rashers bacon, 3 small mushrooms, teaspoon of fajita seasoning\n<\/div>\nStep 1 – Mix<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-2.jpg\")
Put the mozzarella, almond flour and (garlic) salt in a large microwavable bowl and mix thoroughly.
\nIf you’re using cream cheese – I don’t tend to – then add it in now.<\/p>\nStep 2 – Nuke<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-3.jpg\")
Microwave in 30 second increments until the cheese is stringy (see right).
\nFor a double batch like the one featured here it took 3 minutes in total to melt the cheese.<\/p>\nStep 3 – Mix in egg(s)<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-4.jpg\")
Break an egg into the mixture – or two if you’re doing a double batch as I did today.
\nWhisk egg(s) up with a fork and fold in to the mixture.
\nIt will seem like the egg will never get soaked up but it will, just keep going. <\/p>\nStep 4 – Prepare base<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-5.jpg\")
Grease a pizza tray.
\nNo greasing makes for a destroyed pizza when you try and remove it!<\/p>\nStep 5 – Edge to edge<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-6.jpg\")
With wet hands flatten the mixture out, trying to keep its thickness the same throughout.
\nUse a fork to prick small holes all over the pizza base. Don’t forget to do this!
\nPlace in oven for 15 minutes at 200C (fan).<\/p>\nStep 6 – Prepare the toppings<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-7.jpg\")
Whilst the base is in the oven prepare your toppings.
\nWe’ve had some great conconctions over the years but tonight I opted for a spicy bacon and pepperoni, made up of chillies, green pepper, mushrooms, pepperoni and bacon.<\/p>\nStep 7 – Remove pizza base and curse<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-8.jpg\")
After 15 minutes take the base out of the oven…and then curse yourself if you – like me today – forgot to prick the base in Step 5. If you did forget then expect to see a raised bubble or two, as in the picture; use a fork now to prick the base to get the air out.<\/p>\nStep 8 – Make your pizza<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-9.jpg\")
Spread passata thinly over the base then add your toppings.
\nGrate some cheese over all the toppings so it melts them all together.
\nBearing in mind this whole pizza is made of cheese you may wish to not go overboard at this stage.<\/p>\nStep 9 – Bake your pizza<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-10.jpg\")
Put the pizza in the oven at the same temperature as before.
\nDepending on your toppings it shouldn’t take long, I did tonight’s for just under 10 minutes.<\/p>\nStep 10 – Check and remove<\/h3>\n
![\"FatHead](\"http:\/\/circles-of-blue.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FatHead-11.jpg\")
When your pizza is done, remove it from the oven and raise the corners of your lips towards your ears. Good job.<\/p>\nStep 11 – Eat<\/h3>\n
Enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
