Ingredients

Instructions

  • Melt the mozzarella and the cream cheese together. You can do this using a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the ingredients until melted. This should take between one and two minutes to do. I suggest keeping an eye on the melting cheese as you do not want it to burn.
    Stir the Melted Cheeses
  • Add the almond flour and the egg to the melted cheese.
    add eggs
  • Transfer the fathead dough to a flat surface dusted with almond flour. When the dough is at a temperature that you are comfortable kneading with, and knead the dough with your hands until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky! I

Recipe Notes

I mentioned that this can be a sticky dough to work with when you are using your hands. Coating your hands with a bit of oil help prevent that sticking.
I also mentioned that the cheese can be hot after it has melted.
After the cheese is melted it can become really hot or too warm to actually work with. I suggest waiting until you are comfortable to actually work with it before you touch the dough.
As mentioned, you can store extra fathead dough in the refrigerator for a couple of days or in the freezer for longer. Just be sure to wrap the dough well in plastic wrap and allow it to get to room temperature before using.
