🌭HOW Have I Never Tried FATHEAD Dough??? **Mini Pigs in a Blanket*

[@catherinejowers1318]

Fathead dough is like going down the rabbit hole. Sooo many possibilities. Pizza crusts, hand pies, empanadas, calzones, bagels, Danish, cinnamon rolls....on and on 😅

[@jbob1548]

Sounds fun! Hand pies.....like a turnover?

[@catherinejowers1318]

@@jbob1548 it depends where in the world you are as to what they are called 😉

[@cheryldavis6011]

Fathead dough made with coconut flour (because we don’t want so much of the high oxylates in almond flour) WAS my go-to base for so many recipes, until I started making the egg white bread….Unfortunately my husband and I found that we gained weight every time I made a batch of the fathead dough, likely in part because of a dairy sensitivity to all the cheese (plus an issue with portion control.) However, I still think I’m going to make my Thanksgiving dressing with the fathead dough, because it’s our favorite. Even family who aren’t keto love it! 😊

[@godloveskaren]

Which egg white bread recipe do you use?

[@Metqa]

Glad you finally found Fathead. You will have So much fun. I've made sandwich rounds , whic are just like cinnamon rolls but with meat and cheese inside. Hot Pockets, Pizza crust, pot pie crust. It is vey useful.

[@mariasdesigns]

I've actually done pigs in a blanket with your egg white bread recipe. They turn out great as well.

[@dmoore519]

I use fathead dough recipes for hotdogs wraps frequently. Also use it for pizza crust, garlic bread, etc

[@juliemccartt8736]

I also substitute pork rind crumb for almond flour. Just leave out the salt. Works great!

[@bellekordo]

That's great. I wondered. I will try it with pork rinds.

[@AccioPadfoot12]

I tried using a flour blend that has oat fiber in it. FAIL. Had to throw that mess in the bin - the fiber sucked up all the fat and the dough clumped into rubber spots instead of melting together. I might use a touch of oat fiber next time though, to suck up SOME of the fat - they are greasy to eat. Still enjoyed my first try!

[@MaggieG2424]

When I make fathead dough, I microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese only. I add almond flour, salt and egg together. It’s easier to mix that way imo.

[@critter4004]

Do you blend the flour, salt & egg? And then add that into the melted cheese?

[@MaggieG2424]

@@critter4004 No. After the cheeses are melted and combined into an even mass, I put Almond flour, salt and egg on top, in that order. Then mix all of them.

[@DiRidpath]

With the fathead dough I've been making for three years...you microwave the cheese and cream cheese, like you did, but you add the flour, seasonings, and egg AFTER the cheese is melted. I dump in the flour, then the egg. Since the egg hits the flour, you don't have to worry about the heat.

[@judyporche9125]

I don’t know where I found this recipe but it’s one of the first recipes I made when starting Keto 4 1/2 years ago.

[@maggieg249]

After you add the almond flour, add the egg before you start mixing. It incorporates faster and your hands stay clean. Also, a danish dough hook is your best friend when working with this dough. I use it in place of a hand mixer in many instances. Also great for mixing spices in ground meat.

[@gladysobrien1055]

Add the seasoning to the dough…..and don’t lose any! It does not have to be on top! Gladys 🇨🇦Toronto🇨🇦

[@janismcgovern5067]

My only dough is fathead. I make mini pizza dough in my tortilla press and freeze them and cook in airfryer

[@lallen5484]

Hi Janis, do you have a recipie with cooking instructions? Thx

[@janismcgovern5067]

@@lallen5484 I use Keto Focus recipe. She has a good printable recipe

[@jbob1548]

sounds amazing

[@bellekordo]

Thanks for telling us substitutions for the almond flour, that you have tried and worked. I can't use the almond flour. This is a big help.

[@pabeader1941]

I'm going to try cutting the strips into kinda triangle shapes. That way it would look even more like crescent roll dough. Going to make it for the company pot luck.

[@racheljohnson9724]

Thanks for sharing this! One: I cannot believe that you never tried fathead dough. Two: I love the way you need the cheese and almond flour together. I melted the cheese first and then added the almond flour after and didn't care for it. I'll try this way and see how it does for me. 💗

[@GerasimosMakaras]

Pro tip: use your stand mixer with the paddle to mix fathead dough.

[@MsLadypage]

OMG I love your music! Lol I’m excited that you tried it with chicken flour or pork rinds. I didn’t know you could do fat head dough with that I’m going to try this for sure, thanks!

[@TreasureRescue]

These look great! I'll bet that dough would be great for Jamaican meat pies😊.

[@jbob1548]

ooo how do you do this please?

[@TreasureRescue]

@@jbob1548 I don't have a particular recipe, I usually look a random one up here on youtube 😊

[@alansawesomeketoworld4612]

Great recipe. Love the flathead dough. Great and very versatile

[@MrsLoya-er8nl]

Just made these and after making the mistake of using wax paper to roll out, I was able to assemble the dough around the little smoky sausages. Baked up perfectly and tasty just like crescent dough not as dry as a biscuit! Perfect for a low card lifestyle thank you!

[@angelapate328]

I detest everything bagel seasoning, but everything else looks fabulous & I can’t wait to try them ❤

[@Tessa--LibrarianLovesRick]

Do any of you use it to make like a hot-pocket pizza? I'm thinking of doing so. Someone recommended to NOT put the red sause inside because it won't work so well but use the sause as a dip afterwards.

[@janiemiddlebrooks8993]

Just wanted you to know it's pronounced Kin-der. Great BBQ restaurant in CA. Ate there several times when my husband and I worked out there.

[@jonsmith527]

thank you Indigo love all your videos

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*Delicious recipe. Thank you for sharing* 😊

[@rhondahunt9888]

Make a crescent roll.

[@ritaweygint4038]

Looks delicious! I have never heard of fathead dough, but it looks wonderful!

[@liap1293]

I can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks.

[@susankitchin325]

Hmmm. I wonder if they'd taste like Corn Dogs if you put a little Cornbread extract in the dough?

[@AccioPadfoot12]

I made them! I made them! Really good, if you discount the greasy hand feeling after you eat one, lol. I think I'll try them with lowfat cheese - actually I found some NOfat mozz at Walmart that oddly does melt like it has plenty of fat. Have to keep my fat grams under 50 a day. Still, no regrets on these, thanks so much!

[@marydeemock101]

Hey Indigo! I've found if I lay my parchment paper on a silicone mat when rolling, it prevents the parchment paper from sliding around on the countertop while rolling. Just a tip I learned!😊 looks yummy!

[@IndigoNili]

That's a great tip!

[@gullinvarg]

I'm kind of glad you went with egg white bread before fathead since I have to limit cheese or my arthritis flares.

[@mariecampos6923]

Low carb yum has an egg free fathead dough recipe if you want to try it out for Levi.

[@reneekennedy716]

Thank you! This looks SO good! I'm going to tackle it asap! Love your videos! Thank you for sharing!

I love the way you think ; putting the mix in the bowl🤓💋🙏🏼🍀

[@cindydemanche3839]

I can't believe you had not tried Fathead dough before! Can't wait to see what you make with it next...lol

[@jeanetteElizabeth61]

They look amazing this would be great for the kids to make maybe get a small assembly line going I wonder how they would freeze?

[@sgreen4865]

They look good. I really want to try it

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

My meat flour delivery should be here on Tuesday. It has taken forever for Carnivore Crisps to ship it. Can’t wait. I will try these with that because I have a pack of Sabrett’s mini hotdogs in the refrigerator, just sitting there. I think my son would love these but he can’t eat almonds. Allergic to most nuts. I was thinking of trying cassava flour, which I find works as a good sub for almond flour in other recipes.

[@melvanini]

I have a bunch of little cheese kranskys I just bought. This would be perfect for them!

[@cayce9320]

looks amazing...will try this soon!

[@madelinecarroll17]

If I use the carnivore crisps flour how much do you use, would like the lowest carb count possible

[@sofializzy4519]

I LOVE that BBQ sauce! I just made ribs in the instant pot with that sauce.

[@stacyhackney6100]

Thank you.

[@68SandraK]

If you substitute pork Panko, is it the same substitution amount?

[@cynthiagilbreth1352]

What are the macros? They aren’t on the website.

[@michellerobertson9795]

Hello, when you said you tried the recipe with pork rinds, did you use the 3/4 cup and replacement of almond flour?

[@51Springfield]

I will try this! Thanks!

[@jbob1548]

Looks great! The Carnivore Crisp flour exchanges 1:1 correct? Was the quality as good? Thanks Nili!

[@shellsea9520]

EXCELLENT TKS U ❤🎉😊

[@Kartimel]

I wonder if I could warm it in a pot instead of a microwave...I don't have one at this time. This looks amazing!

[@arkyhunter2750]

Looks great.

[@laurigarcia1908]

I have never tried fathead dough because i do nont own a microwave. i wonder if there is another way to melt it .

[@subi1677]

Those look amazing! Hubby and I will have to give them a try 😊

[@A_World_Full_of_Lies]

I love your egg bread variations but I can't get past the almond flour flavor. Almond flour and coconut flour, not a fan. One of the few low carb foods that I have not thrown in the trash is your egg bread lol

[@gladysbigg77]

Me too. Being carnivore, I'm not much into almond or coconut flour. As I recall the original Fathead dough was made with cheese and eggs, no flours.

[@cyndimanka]

Ya. No ty to almond flour. Bad stuff

[@brandimonahan4721]

She mentioned pork rinds as a replacement, but than said the carnivore flour. I hope to try these with the pork rinds because my kids would demolish these but we can't eat almond

[@sarahthomson8183]

I wonder if yuo could use dried egg yolk powder instead of the fresh egg?

[@jbob1548]

No microwave....any ideas?

[@kathrynburlingame5357]

Look so good! How do you figure out the grams? I’ve noticed sometimes they vary greatly when I try to google?

[@LoriFNMLifestyle]

I have to say, Nili... I'm super surprised that you've never tried fathead dough before too! LOL It's definitely our favorite as well as the southern keto biscuits. These pigs in a blanket look amazing!! 💖

Who makes the southern Keto biscuits? Do you have a link? 🤤

[@LoriFNMLifestyle]

@@SewWhittle Hi Sall, It's in Natasha Newton's Southern Keto Cookbook. I know there are some videos on them but I don't want to put any links to other channels on Nili's page without her permission. 💖

[@gwenmueller3473]

Those look so good

[@SoapStreams]

My wife and I followed the recipe at Just a Pinch, but the dough tore when we tried to do anything with it. Any ideas what we did wrong? Was it just not kneaded enough?

[@lallen5484]

Hi Nili; these look so good. I just did a search for the small franks and can't find them near me. Where did you get yours? Your recipies are always amazing! I am in Seattle.

[@gladysbigg77]

Do they still make "Lil Smokies"? Try those.

[@Ale75delaCruz]

Can also use regular “skinny” drinks and cut them up.

[@FadedStar05]

I found Teton lil smokies at my Costco.

Where was Levi? Could he eat those with the egg in it?

[@justapinch]

Yumm it looks great 🤗🤗

[@miketype1each]

Haven't made this yet, but when I do, I'll use a heavy fork to mix the egg into the dough.

How long did they bake in your oven?

[@moremula4060]

What about fathead dough but replacing the almond flour for egg white powder?

[@gladysbigg77]

I wish someone would experriment with that--sounds like a great idea. I tried it, but didn't know how much egg white powder to add, or in what order. My result was it turned rock hard!

[@gordonhameister545]

Would this work well in the air fryer easily?

[@IndigoNili]

I expect so! You'd just want to reduce temp and possibly the time 👍🏼

[@JenFine223]

Yummmm😋

[@janetstryczek3311]

I do not know why you do not list the nutritional values ... like how many carbs !

[@KetoSimple]

It's great, I just got tired of making it... We have a pizza place in town that has a whole keto selection, pizzas, sandwiches, soups, salad bar and desserts. they use two different types of fat head dough, one for the pizza and a modified version for their breadsticks and sandwich bread, I'm totally ok paying them to make the pizza for me because it is a chore to make... they had to finally outsource the making of the dough to a company, they make it, ship it frozen to them... they were getting in everyday at like 4am to make enough pizza crusts to try and make it through the day... that was not sustainable so yeah. So anyone in the central Indiana area there is a great spot to grab pizza! It's funny to think back at all the trends and how things have evolved since Chandra and I started Keto in 2016... Cloud bread was a huge thing, and then fat head dough, instant pot blew up, then air fryers (which I did not understand at first, I'm like it's ok to fry in oil on keto...), Dash minis with chaffles and yeah... ok... I'm blabbering on so I'll stop!

[@KetoSimple]

How rude of me! They look totally amazing!

[@KetoSimple]

I'd totally make a spicy queso dip for those!

[@cyndimanka]

Can’t do almond flour. Oxalates and highly inflammatory

[@debclair822]

Sugar free mom is one of many sites that has a coconut flour version. I've developed an allergy to nuts.

[@jbob1548]

Nili mentioned alternative "flours"

[@sharonvanzutphen3473]

Did the pork rind ones work?

[@brandimonahan4721]

I was wondering too and I'd so is it 1 to 1 pork rinds to almond flour to replace in the given recipe

[@janetthompson1372]

Can you use this dough for pizza

[@dmoore519]

Yep, lots of recipes online for fathead pizza

[@gavtex1065]

They look delicious! I would eat at least a dozen of them for sure. Sadly that would be some 3 or 400 mg of Oxalates though 😮yikes! I would definitely make with alternative to almond flour. Also sesame seeds are super high too. Wish I could get the carnivore flours here in Aus. Go easy on the almond flour Indigo! That stuff is toxic as!

[@FadedStar05]

grind up some biltong in the vitamix for a meat flour.

[@kimberlykopsho2070]
