Instructions:
- Prepare the Fathead Dough:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
- To the melted cheese mixture, add the almond flour, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Form the Pizza Crust:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the Fathead dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle or desired shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and transfer the dough (with the bottom parchment paper) to the air fryer basket.
- Cook the Pizza Crust:
- Cook the Fathead dough crust in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes, or until it begins to firm up and lightly brown around the edges.
- Add Toppings:
- Carefully remove the partially cooked pizza crust from the air fryer.
- Spread the low-carb pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by pepperoni slices and any additional toppings of your choice.
- Finish Cooking:
- Return the topped pizza to the air fryer basket.
- Cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Allow it to cool for a minute or two before slicing.
- Serve your delicious Fathead dough crust pepperoni and cheese pizza hot, and enjoy your low-carb, keto-friendly meal
