WHAT IS FATHEAD DOUGH?

Fathead dough is a dough recipe which is usually made using grated cheese, cream cheese, eggs and almond flour. It can be used to replace conventional dough in recipes to make them Keto friendly, low carb, high fat and gluten/grain free.

The dough gets its unusual name from a documentary named 'Fathead', which follows a comedian who loses weight on a high fat diet to challenge conventional opinions on obesity and healthy eating.

As advocates of Paleo and Keto lifestyles, we embrace healthy fats such as Avocado Oil and MCT Oil and challenge conventional wisdom which dictates that fat should be avoided.

CAN I MAKE FATHEAD ROLLS IN ADVANCE?

Because fathead rolls are made with a dough that contains dairy and eggs, they won't last as long or keep as well as conventional bread rolls. So, we recommend making them fresh and enjoying as soon as possible once cooked, for the best taste and texture.

However, once you have made your fathead dough it will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days, so you can always cook individual rolls as and when they are needed instead of cooking as a batch.

WHICH SANDWICH FILLINGS ARE KETO FRIENDLY?

You can fill your Keto fathead rolls with any of your favourite sandwich fillings. Here are some of our favourite Keto friendly combos:
