Rainbow Fathead Pizza is a colorful, low-carb, gluten-free pizza with a cheesy, crispy crust made from almond flour. Topped with vibrant vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, olives, spinach, and mushrooms, this pizza is a healthy, flavorful alternative to traditional pizza that’s perfect for anyone on a keto or low-carb diet.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  2. 2 oz cream cheese
  3. 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  4. 1 egg
  5. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  6. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  7. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  8. 1/2 cup pizza sauce (low-carb or homemade)
  9. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  10. 1/2 cup bell peppers (red, green, yellow, or orange), thinly sliced
  11. 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  12. 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  13. 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  14. 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  15. 1/4 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
  16. 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
  17. Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Make the Fathead Dough:

    1. Melt the Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
    2. Mix the Dough: Once the cheese is melted, add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder (if using), and salt to the melted cheese. Stir everything together until well combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
    3. Knead the Dough: Lightly dust your hands with almond flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and firm, about 1-2 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
    4. Shape the Dough: Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll it out into a round pizza shape, about 10-12 inches in diameter. You can also shape it into a square if you prefer.
    5. Bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rolled-out dough (on the parchment paper) onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy around the edges.
  2. Add the Toppings:
    1. Add the Sauce: Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
    2. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
    3. Add the Veggies: Arrange the rainbow of vegetables (bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, onions, olives, spinach, mushrooms) over the cheese. You can add as many or as few vegetables as you like.
    4. Season: Sprinkle the pizza with a little dried oregano or Italian seasoning if desired, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
    5. Bake the Pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender.
    6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Slice and serve!

Notes

  1. For a heartier pizza, add cooked chicken, sausage, pepperoni, or bacon to the toppings.
  2. If you love cheese, consider layering multiple types of cheese, like provolone, goat cheese, or Parmesan.
  3. For extra spice, sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce over the pizza before serving.
  4. To make it even more low-carb, skip the sauce or use a homemade, low-sugar pizza sauce.
