Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Total Time: 30 mins

Servings: 6 slices Total Carbs: 4g Fibre: 1.6g Author: Libby Jenkinson

Ingredients
170 g pre shredded/grated cheese mozzarella is the best or Edam/mild cheese
85 g almond meal/flour
2 tbsp cream cheese
1 egg
pinch salt to taste
½ tsp dried rosemary/ garlic or other flavourings optional
your choice of toppings such as pepperoni peppers, cherry tomatoes, olives, ground/mince
beef, mushrooms, herbs etc

Instructions
1. Mix the shredded/grated cheese and almond flour/meal in a microwaveable bowl. Add the
cream cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.

2. Stir then microwave on HIGH for another 30 seconds.

3. Add the egg, salt, rosemary and any other flavourings, mix gently.

4. Place in between 2 pieces of baking parchment/paper and roll into a circular pizza shape (see
photos above). Remove the top baking paper/parchment. If the mixture hardens and becomes
difficult to work with, pop it back in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften again but not
too long or you will cook the egg.

5. Make fork holes all over the pizza base to ensure it cooks evenly.

6. Slide the baking paper/parchment with the pizza base, on a baking tray (cookie tray) or pizza
stone, and bake at 220C/425F for 12-15 minutes, or until brown.

7. To make the base really crispy and sturdy, flip the pizza over (onto baking paper/parchment)
once the top has browned.

8. Once cooked, remove from the oven and add all the toppings you like. Make sure any meat is
already cooked as this time it goes back into the oven just to heat up the toppings and melt the
cheese. Bake again at 220C/425F for 5 minutes.

Notes
Fat Head pastry can also be made by replacing the almond meal/flour with 1/4 cup (4 tbsp)
coconut flour.

Nutrition panel is for base only as toppings will vary widely depending on what was added and how
much.
