We all seem to be in unanimous agreement: fathead pizza is delicious. So what about fathead pizza rolls? I think you guys are going to love them just as much as I do!
Don't forget to PIN it for later! ?
I’m usually a meatza girl when it comes to satisfying my pizza cravings, but people rave about fathead pizza. I was beginning to wonder if ittruly lived up to the hype, so I finally tried it. Oh boy, am I glad I did! It’s like… real pizza. With a bready crust and everything. Seriously, if I ordered a pizza and this was delivered to me, I don’t think I would have even questioned it. Keto meatza is fantastic, but sometimes you just want bready goodness, ya know?
Fathead Pizza Dough
The crust is the superstar of the recipe. Once I realized how great the ingredients worked as a pizza dough, I immediately started thinking of different ways I could incorporate it into my cooking. Then pizza rolls came to mind!

It wasn’t a stretch of the imagination by any means, but the results are tastier than I could have possibly envisioned.
If you love pizza rolls, I guarantee you will want to hang on to this recipe. Not only are these a healthy replacement for the frozen variety you’d find at your grocery store, but they also taste at least 10 MILLION times better. I repeat, 10 MILLION times better.
Even my partner, a recovering pizza roll addict, admits that these are way better.
I’m hoping to replace this (absurdly frequent) conversation:
Me: “Want anything from the store?” Him: “Pizza rolls.” Me: “Omg. MORE?! Why? How?”
With this conversation:
Me: “Want anything from the store?” Him: “I don’t care what you get. But if you make fathead pizza rolls tonight, I’ll do the dishes for all eternity.” Me: “And rub my back?” Him: “Of course!” Me: “Deal.”
I’ll let you know how that goes. But in the meantime, on to thefathead pizza roll recipe!
The fathead pizza roll recipe
I utilized the same ingredients for the crust as the original fathead pizza. They are simple and easily accessible: almond flour, shredded mozzarella, egg, cream cheese and a small sprinkle of garlic salt.
Melt the twotypes of cheese in the microwave or an oven-safe dish and mix. Thisprocess will only take about a minute in the microwave but willtake little longer if using your oven. Drape a cookie sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle a tiny amount of almond flour and garlic salt onto the surface. The parchment paper is key to getting the dough to lift off the cooking surface once you are ready to roll it, so don’t skip out on it!
Once the mozzarella and cream cheese is nice and gooey, stir it together with your almond flour and egg. Try to work quickly to avoid the cheese from hardening. If it does harden, you can briefly throw it back in the microwave or oven to soften it up. Don’t leave it in too long or it will start to cook the dough, and you won’t be able to spread it thinly.
Place your fathead pizza dough onto the parchment paper and spread it into a thin rectangular shape. You can use your fingertips or a rolling pin to smooth it out. If you go the rolling pin route, I would suggest using an additional sheet of parchment paper on top since it tends to get a bit sticky.
Once you’ve got a nice thin layer of dough, poke some holes throughout and pop it into a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for about 2-3 minutes. The dough should be slightly hardened, but not thoroughly cooked, for ease of rolling.

Remove the partially baked dough from the oven. Use a knife or spatula to separate the edges from the parchment paper, and then add your toppings. I used tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, salami, and black olives. Feel free to use any toppings your heart desires, just make sure to distribute them evenly across the top.
Now it’s time to roll! Start by gently folding one edge in on itself and continue rolling up into a little pizza log. You can decide toroll from a short side or a long side, both ways are equally delicious! I started from a shorter edge to get a thick spiral, but you could roll length-wise instead to get skinnier rolls. The choice is yours!
Take a sharp knife and slice your log into slices, as thick or as thin as you like. I made mine a little over 1 inch thick. Lay the slices flat and throw them back into the oven for 10-15 minutes, until your dough bakes to a golden crisp.
Enjoy your low carb pizza rolls!
Looking for another creative way to use fathead pizza dough?
Most gluten-free pizza crusts are low-carb, but include quite a bit of starch to mimic the binding effect of gluten in regular dough. Starch is a complex carbohydrate that digests into a sugar, making it unideal for a keto diet. Pizza will not be the meal that helps you lose weight.
In most cases, gluten free pizza is made with a combination of gluten free flours and starches like rice flour, almond flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch. These are combined with wet ingredients like oil and flavorings like sugar and salt. Some recipes also use yeast to give the dough some rise.
Keto friendly and gluten-free – Naturally my keto pizza is low in carbs… the crust has 2 grams of net carbs per serving, to be exact. Of course the sauce and toppings will also add some, but it's still really easy to fit into your macros for a keto diet. And it's gluten-free, too.
Whether you're looking at frozen pizzas or those that you order from major chains, you definitely have some options. Among the most popular are those made from cauliflower, which have about half as many carbs as a whole-wheat or gluten-free crust.
Of course, gluten-free foods can be low carb but not all gluten-free foods are low in carbohydrates. Gluten, a mix of proteins found in wheat grains, helps provide structure, texture, and flavor to bread, pizza dough, pasta, cereal, and other grain-based foods that may also contain high amounts of carbohydrates.
These are a good choice for people with diabetes because they're lower in carbs and higher in protein and fiber: Zucchini pizza crust: This zucchini pizza crust is made with almond flour, zucchini, and eggs and topped with mini bell peppers, tomatoes, red onion, mushrooms, jalapeño, and mozzarella.
For this reason, the specific gluten free pizza crusts that are low in carbohydrates are likely to be better options for diabetics than a traditional wheat crust. However, it is important to look at the number of carbohydrates in each type of crust solid as gluten free.
Although gluten-free pizza is healthier, it is still high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat. For this reason, you should be careful about how much you eat, as even a small slice can contain more calories than a whole pizza.
A breakdown of that crust: Like we said, it's made out of ancient grains including quinoa, sorghum, teff, and amaranth, which are naturally gluten-free and high in protein and fiber. A small cheese pizza with the gluten-free crust also has 50 fewer calories than their original small-sized cheese pizza crust.
Rice is naturally gluten-free, so it's a good choice of grain for anyone who wants to avoid gluten due to celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or other reasons.
Some of the best meats for keto include beef, pork, chicken, salmon, and bison. Still, all plain, unprocessed meats are keto-friendly and low in carbs — so there are plenty of options to choose from. However, you may want to choose your meats based on other factors in addition to carb count.
Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners. Almond butter is a good choice, too, and it's slightly lower in carbs. Additionally, you should be mindful of your portion size if you're trying to lose weight.
This type of pizza crust can have up to 33g of carbs without any added sauce or cheese. If you're limiting your carbs to 20-50 grams per day, one slice of this type of crust will likely kick you out of ketosis.
Because tradition pizza crust is high in carbs, many think pizza is a no-no on a low-carb diet. While some may choose to eat pizza without the crust, this recipe gives you a more fulfilling option. You will need to be careful about the toppings you put on your pizza.
