BBQ pulled pork pizza is a great way to use up leftover pulled pork on this sweet and tangy fathead pizza crust.
Ingredients
3 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, plus ½ cup for topping -
1 ½ cups almond flour
-
1 egg
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
-
½ teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar free pulled pork

¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
-
2 tablespoons sliced red onion

1 tablespoon cilantro
Step by Step Instructions
Step by Step Instructions
Melt the cheese
Place 3.5 cups of mozzarella in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Microwave for about two minutes until cheese is melted. Stir to combine and make sure all of the cheese is melted. Remove from microwave and let the mixture cool.
Mix dry ingredients
In a large separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.
Add egg and cheese
Add in your egg to the melted mozzarella cheese. Mix using an electric mixer until combined.
Mix dough
Slowly add the almond flour mixture to the cheese mixture. Using an electric mixer or food processor, stir until you have a uniform dough. Don’t be surprised if dough goes flying if you are using the mixer! This can happen, but this is an easy way to combine the mixtures in order to make the best fathead dough. If you don’t have an electric mixer or food processor, I recommend kneading the dough by hand until it comes together. This is messy and takes longer, but the end result is the same.
Knead keto dough
Once combined, form the dough into a ball. Knead it a few times on a lightly almond-floured surface until uniform and fully combined.
Roll out crust
Roll out dough to desired thickness. Remove top parchment layer and place on top of a baking sheet.

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour for this pizza?
Almond flour is what makes this crust low carb, but you can substitute regular flour if you're not watching carbs. Just know it will significantly increase the carb count.
What can I use instead of xanthan gum?
Without xanthan gum, try psyllium husk powder or ground flaxseed as a substitute. The texture will be slightly different but still works.
How should I store leftover pizza?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.
Is there a way to make this pizza dairy-free?
Yes! Use dairy-free cheese in place of mozzarella. The texture and melt will be different, so expect some variation. Double-check that your BBQ sauce is dairy-free too.
How can I make this pizza spicier?
For extra heat, mix diced jalapenos with the pulled pork or drizzle hot sauce over the top before serving.
Besides the pulled pork, the other star here is the homemade BBQ sauce. It’s sweet and tangy and works perfectly in place of red pizza sauce. Two tablespoons is all you need to cover one batch of fathead crust.
If you don’t want to make your own, grab a low-carb store-bought option. I recommend 
Fathead dough makes the best low-carb pizza crust. This version uses mozzarella, almond flour, egg, baking powder, and xanthan gum. The crust puffs up like regular pizza dough with a chewy middle and crispy edges.
