    We are big fans of pizza. I’d often buy 4 or 5 pizzas for our family, from a well known pizza delivery chain. It was easy to eat a whole pizza over the course of a few hours. Once I realised it was wheat causing my joint pain, I looked for an alternative. “Fakeaway”, some call it. I found fathead, and tried it. I think I tripled the recipe on my first try, knowing my family are big eaters. I cut the pizza into pieces the size of a deck of cards, and was pleasantly surprised to notice we were full on only 3 pieces! I’d made way more than we could handle.
    This recipe is so versatile. I’ve also used fathead to make sausage rolls. They go down a treat! My young adult boys devour the sausage rolls. I’m happy eating them, knowing they’re wheat free, and really filling!
    I’ve used Libby’s 3 ingredient tortillas to mop up the sauce in an Indian curry, but now I’ve found the fathead garlic naan, I think I might try that instead. Fathead hasn’t failed me yet! A terrific all rounder, so good for many things

      Hey there Kim, Fathead dough really is the holy grail of keto dough and so adaptable isn’t it? I love your “Fakeaway” name for pizza, you really have used mozzarella dough in so many ways.
