How To Freeze Keto Fat Head Dough

This is an update because so many people have asked how I freeze this dough for future use. It’s easy! I make a triple batch of this recipe which makes 6 pizzas. I usually get the kids to help.

Then I roll out each pizza dough in between two sheets of parchment paper. I don’t cook it. I keep it rolled out flat in between the sheets of parchment paper and then I roll it with plastic wrap to seal it in the freezer. I know this keeps in the freezer for at least six weeks. It might be able to go longer but I’ve just never tried it.

I prefer to roll the pizza dough out when freezing it to save time (and messy dishes) in the kitchen. The keto fat head dough pizza circles are not that big so I am able to lay them flat in my freezer with no issues. Sometimes I lay them on the top of other frozen items as long as it can lay flat.

To defrost the pizza all you have to do is set it out on the counter for about 20 minutes or so. Then put it on a pizza sheet and bake it as instructed.

Keto Fat Head Dough TIPS:

Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats when cooking this dough to prevent sticking and easy cleanup!
