Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. To make the fathead pizza dough, start by melting the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt.
4. Once the cheese mixture is melted, pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the melted cheese. Mix well until a dough forms. If the dough becomes too stiff to work with, you can microwave it for another 15-30 seconds to soften it.
5. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference for pizza shape.
6. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it’s starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
8. While the crust is baking, prepare the toppings. Spread the softened cream cheese over the partially baked crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
9. Sprinkle the diced pepperoni evenly over the cream cheese layer, followed by the crumbled bacon and sliced jalapeños.
10. Top everything off with the shredded mozzarella/cheddar cheese blend.
11. Carefully wrap each slice of bacon around the edge of the pizza, securing it in place.
12. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bacon is crisp.
13. Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
14. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
15. Slice and enjoy your delicious keto-friendly bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper pizza
