FAQs

Can I use different fillings?

Yes, you can customize the fillings based on your preferences or dietary restrictions. Just be mindful of the carb content if you’re keeping it keto.

Is almond flour necessary?

Almond flour is a staple in keto baking for its low-carb content, but you can try coconut flour as a substitute. Adjust the quantity as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover pizza pockets in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.

Can I freeze these pizza pockets?

Yes, once baked and cooled, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven for best results.

Is xanthan gum necessary?

Xanthan gum helps replicate the gluten found in traditional dough, aiding in texture. If you don’t have it, the dough may be less chewy.

Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?

Yes, but you’ll need to activate it in warm water first and it may affect the texture slightly since the dough doesn’t actually rise.

Why is my dough too sticky?

This can happen if the cheese cools too much. Try microwaving the dough for a few more seconds, and use wet hands or oil to prevent sticking.

Can I make these pizza pockets dairy-free?

Traditional Fathead dough is cheese-based, so creating a dairy-free version would require significant substitutions. Look for dairy-free cheese alternatives that melt well.

Can I make this recipe nut-free?

For a nut-free version, replace the almond flour with an equal amount of sunflower seed flour or another nut-free flour alternative that’s keto-friendly.
