Ultimate Keto Fathead Dough 2.0 (Nut-Free)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 3/4 cup whey protein isolate
• 1 tbsp fat-free Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp psyllium husk powder
• 1/4 tsp beef gelatin powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning (for pizza dough) OR 1/4 cup powdered sweetener (for sweet recipes)
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave 30 seconds, stir, then microwave two more 30-second rounds until fully melted. Stir until smooth and gooey.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whey protein, psyllium husk, gelatin, baking powder, baking soda, Italian seasoning (if using) and salt.
3. Add the egg and Greek yogurt to the melted cheese and stir quickly before the cheese cools.
4. Add the dry mixture and mix thoroughly with a spoon, spatula or your hands. If it's hard to combine, warm it in the microwave 10–15 seconds.
5. Knead gently until smooth and elastic. If sticky, dust lightly with whey protein, but don't add too much.
6. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment to the thickness you want.
7. For pizza crust, bake 7 minutes, flip and bake 2–3 more minutes until golden and firm. Raise the oven to 400°F, add toppings and bake 8–10 minutes. If it ever seems too dry, brush with a little melted butter.
