How to make mozzarella dough

Once you have mastered mozzarella dough (aka Fat Head dough), then you will be able to make a variety of recipes.

Simply make the Fat Head dough in a bowl as per the recipe below, and roll out as thin as you require then bake.

TOP TIP: To prevent the mozzarella dough from sticking, place the low-carb dough in between sheets of baking parchment (NOT baking paper) to roll out.

How to bake low-carb chili crackers

Once you roll out the mozzarella dough, use a pizza cutter to cut the low-carb dough into squares. You may wish to press a fork into each cracker to give it the appearance of your favourite store-bought crackers.

Bake on one side until crispy, then using a wide spatula, flip the crackers over so they crisp on both sides.

Many people choose to live gluten-free because they are whether intolerant to gluten, or they just feel better when gluten is removed from their daily diet. 

Others have chosen to live gluten-free because of all the magazine articles that recommend living gluten-free for health benefits. Unfortunately, when many people decide to live gluten-free they begin to buy gluten-free products such as gluten-free bread, crackers, cakes, cookies etc in the false hope they are healthier – spoiler alert – they’re not.

Many people are unaware that many gluten-free products are ultra-processed, fortified, and high-carb. They are generally made with a gluten-free flour such as rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch.

So what do you do? If you are living grain-free, you become gluten-free naturally by default.

How to store crackers

Because the low-carb chilli crackers are predominantly made of cheese, they need to be kept in the refrigerator unless they are being eaten straight away.

You can also freeze the low-carb chilli crackers in an airtight container. Just remember to place a sheet of baking parchment in between each layer so they are easy to remove and defrost just as many as you need each time.

    Okay so I used sunflower seed meal instead of almond meal AND IT TURNED OUT FANTASTIC! Thanks for the recipe!

  2. The serving size is confusing. Is it 6 crackers per serving?

  3. Dianne Vanderlist says:

    Okay want to make these, but what can I use because of nut allergies, please.

    1. The recipe notes state “Mozzarella pastry can also be made by replacing the almond meal/flour with 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) coconut flour.”

  4. Dianne Vanderlist says:

    How much sunflower seed meal did you use.

    re Low Carb Chilli Crackers. It is stated “1 serve (serves 6) @ total carbs 4 g”. Question: is the 4 g carbs for the total cracker number, or 1/6th of the total number? (many here in Aus use ‘carbs’, not net carbs’.

      Hi Miriam, the recipe makes 6 servings, so the nutrition is for 1 serving = 1/6th of the recipe. Everyone tends to make their crackers smaller or larger than the next person so as long as you only have 1/6th, the nutrition panel is correct. I always state NET carbs as the majority of readers on my Facebook page and email community from around the world use NET carbs. I do have both values in every nutrition panel so you can select the one that works well for you.
