Dairy-Free Fathead Dough

I tried something new in the kitchen recently; I made my favorite Fathead Dough without dairy, and it turned out way better than I expected!

To start, I used a dairy-free cream cheese I had on hand, but feel free to use any brand that works for you. Most containers come in 8-ounce portions, and since this recipe only calls for about 4 ounces, it’s super easy to measure and store the rest for later.

When it comes to shredded cheese, I usually reach for Daiya, but during a recent trip to Kroger, I spotted So Delicious mozzarella-style shreds. Not only were they more budget-friendly, but they also melted beautifully, so I decided to give them a try.

I’ll admit I was a little skeptical at first, but the results completely won me over. The dough was perfectly stretchy, soft, and held together just as the original version did. If you’ve been missing Fathead Dough on a dairy-free diet, this one is a game-changer! You can make pizza dough, calzones, flatbread and many other meals using the dairy-free fathead dough.

Ingredients

Instructions

Combine the dairy-free mozzarella cheese and dairy-free cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until cheeses are smooth.

Add the almond flour, Psyllium Husk powder, baking powder, xanthum gum and egg. Stir until the dough comes together.

When the dough comes together, knead until smooth. Add more almond flour, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough seems too sticky.

Now what? What can you do with Fathead Dough? My favorite way to use Fathead Dough is for a pizza crust, but I have used it in so many ways; for example, crescent rolls, flatbreads, pizza rolls, spinach and artichoke rolls, pigs in a blanket, quiche crust, savory pies, crescent rings and so much more.
