    How to make Fathead Pizza Pockets

    Fathead pizza dough is the base for many keto pizza recipes, and these gluten free hot pockets are no exception. Made with almond flour, shredded cheese, cream cheese, eggs, and seasoning, fathead pizza dough is super easy to throw together. It adds an extra layer of cheesy goodness, and reheats really well.

    These aren't the pizza pockets of your childhood

    Cheesy, saucy, pepperoni goodness. Growing up, Hot Pockets had a special place in my heart. Back then, gluten free pizza wasn’t really on my radar and I could enjoy with reckless abandon... and with copious amounts of ranch dressing.

    Nowadays, gluten free pizza options are everywhere, but so many of them are loaded with carbs. If you’re looking for creative low carb pizza recipes, this is a great place to start. You can load these keto hot pockets up with any of your favorite pizza toppings. They’re completely customizable, so everyone gets exactly what they want.

    These Gluten Free and Keto Hot Pockets are like a marriage between a hot sandwich and a pizza

    Golden brown pizza dough, flavored with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian season, stuffed with cheese, paleo pizza sauce, and pepperoni. What more could you ask for? These keto pizza pockets are the perfect option for when you’re craving a hot sandwich, or cheesy, ooey gooey pizza. Why choose when you can have both?

    Ingredients

    Scale

    for the dough:

    • 3 cups shredded low moisture, part skim mozzarella cheese
    • 5 tablespoons cream cheese
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 cups blanched almond flour (I used this brand)
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    •  1 teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

    for the filling:

    • 5 ounces slices pepperoni (about 48 slices)
    • 2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
    • ½ cup Paleo Pizza Sauce, extra for dipping (get the recipe here)
    • 1 large egg, whisked

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 425°F
    2. In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir to combine. Return to microwave for 1 additional minute.
    3. To the mixing bowl, add the eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
    4. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll each ball between two sheets of parchment paper until ¼ inch thin.
    5. Spoon 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each round and spread in a circle, leaving space around the edges.
    6. In the center of each one, place 6 slices of pepperoni and ¼ cup of cheddar cheese.
    7. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash before folding over and pressing to seal. Repeat this process with all 8 pizza pockets.
    8. Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet and brush egg wash over top of each one.
    9. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and the dough is cooked through

      I just can't handle the heaviness and gritty texture of almond flour. Has anybody tried making the dough ahead of time and storing it in the fridge for a day to see if the flour will absorb a little moisture from the other ingredients, and be a bit softer in texture? Thanks.

      Hello. I made this recipe and loved it. Do you think I could use the same recipe to make a flat bread pizza on a pan? Do you think it should be the same thickness as the dough I rolled for the pockets. I am new to exploring cooking but I figured it should work?

      I’m wondering if you can freeze these until you are ready to bake them? Thank you!

      Hi, was the carb count for the garlic powder included in this recipe? 1 tsp. of garlic powder I'm told yields, 10 g. carbs! ouch.... making this tonight, but will be substituting fresh garlic simmered in the pizza sauce instead of the garlic powder and will eliminate it all together in the dough.

      Please let me know if the garlic powder was counted as part of the netted 8g. carb count per pocket. Thank you!

        I'm not sure where you are getting this information but it is definitely not correct. 1 teaspoon of garlic powder has just over 2 total grams of carbs
