Pepperoni and jalapeños are some of the most popular pizza toppings and taste amazing on this thin-crust mozzarella dough base. This is an all-time favourite based on the original Low-Carb Mozzarella Pizza Crust, also called the "fat head pizza" by Tom Naughton. If you prefer an equally delicious veggie pizza, check out my Fat Head Pizza with Mozzarella, Tomato & Rocket.

Ingredients (makes 4 servings)
Fat Head Pizza Base:
- 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese (170 g/ 6 oz)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (56 g/ 2 oz)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp almond flour (85 g/ 3 oz)
- extra virgin olive oil for flattening the dough
Topping:
- 1/4 cup sugar-free Marinara sauce (60 g/ 2 oz)
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese (58 g/ 2 oz)
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (30 g/ 1 oz)
- 3 oz pepperoni (85 g)
- 2 jalapeno peppers, sliced (28 g/ 1 oz)
- fresh basil
Instructions
- Start by making the pizza crust. Place the grated mozzarella cheese into a bowl and add the cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Mix with a spatula and microwave on high for another 30 seconds. Mix again.
- Add the egg and combine well. Add salt, almond flour and mix until well combined.
- Place the dough on a heatproof baking mat and use your hands to flatten ...
- ... until 1/4 - 1/2 inch (1/2 - 1 cm) thick. Spray some olive oil on your hands to prevent the dough from sticking. Alternatively, you can use a piece of parchment paper on top and roll the dough out until thin. Dock the dough with a fork and bake in the oven preheated to 220 °C/ 425 °F for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and spread the marinara sauce on top.
- Add grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and top with pepperoni slices (2 at a time) and sliced jalapeño peppers. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil. Slice and serve hot or cold.
