Pizza pockets. Calzones. Giant pizza rolls. Whatever you call them, they're absolutely delicious.

I've obviously been a huge fan of making low carb pizzas for a while now:

Broccoli Crust Pizza

Chicken Crust Pizza

Pork Rind Pizza

A little bit of backstory....in college, my husband Joe and I lived in a dorm that had a dining hall attached to it, but ONLY served pizza on Friday Nights.

And it wasn't the normal run of the mill pizza they served regularly...

They put something in this Friday Night recipe because it was AMAZING. You could sometimes expect a 45 minute wait because the line to get yours was sooo long. But still...we did it.

Every. Single. Friday.

We've kept up with the tradition of Friday Night Pizza, and it became even more important once we went Keto.

I want to make sure that everyone who reads my blog knows that going Low Carb ABSOLUTELY does not mean giving up pizza or getting bored by the same things.

Pizza is delicious. Stuffed Pizza is even better.

This recipe is a bit of a twist on the regular fathead dough you're probably used to.

The secret ingredient? It uses yeast! And that makes a big difference!

I love that you can stuff these babies with any of your favorite toppings, then chow down on them with your favorite sauce.

Keto Fathead Pizza Pockets


  • Author: Hey Keto Mama
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 5 tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 3 eggs (2 for dough,1 for egg wash)
  • Salt, additional seasoning to taste

filling

  • ¼ cup mozzarella or cheddar
  • 7 slices pepperoni
  • 4 tbsp cooked italian sausage
  • 2 tbsp feta

Garnish

  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning

Instructions

Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 400
  2. In mixer or large bowl, add almond flour, xanthan gum, yeast and seasoning
  3. Mix dry ingredients throughly then add two eggs
  4. In separate bowl, microwave mozzarella and cream cheese in 30 second intervals until melted
  5. Once melted, add to flour and egg mixture scraping sides down (I used dough hook)
  6. If mixture is too stiff, place it back in the microwave for 30 -45 seconds until pliable
  7. With dough hook or wet hands, knead mixture for 5-10 minutes until fully combined
  8. Using wet hands, separate dough into 4 balls
  9. Flatten the dough balls into desired shape, making small indent in the middle
  10. Fill with choice of ingredients and mold dough around ingredients gently to close
  11. Brush with egg wash
  12. Place on parchment and bake for 20-25 minutes until dough is golden brown
  13. Melt butter and mix with italian seasoning to brush over each pizza pocket
  14. Sprinkle with parmesan

Notes

Wet hands make it easier to handle dough
To create pockets, shape dough around ingredients empanada style folding over and pressing seams closed then patting it and forming until it's your desired shape
Xanthan gum made the crust more sturdy than if you were to omit.
The yeast did appear to make the dough rise more than usual

I just made them and man are they so good. And very fun to make, do you think I can freeze them? Should I bake them then freeze them or freeze them raw?

Wonderful recipe. I put my yeast in a little warm water to activate . Let my dough set for 30 min in warm room. I brushed tops with olive oil , parm cheese, garlic salt and Italian seasoning. I did these in a whoopie pie Pan. So good!

Wow, this dough was a lot of trouble! Dough was unbelievable sticky, not sure what went wrong as I followed all tips and made no substitutions. Literally had to douse my hands in water each time I touched it. Finished product tastes just OK, like a pizza-flavored cheese dough, but definitely not worth the effort or use of ingredients :(
