Coconut Flour VS Almond Flour?

Coconut flour is a super absorbent flour so it can't be substituted 1:1 for Almond flour. Depending on the recipe, you might need to use ¼ or ⅓ cup of coconut flour for 1 cup of almond flour.

Also for coconut flour recipes, you will need extra liquid, depending on the recipe it could be more eggs or milk to get the right texture for your recipe. Some times you may use an extra egg per extra ¼ cup of coconut flour.

Most importantly you should know that not all Almond recipes can be converted to a coconut flour recipe. When converting almond flour recipes check for feel and texture.

Ingredients needed to make Nut free Fat head Dough with coconut flour

• Coconut flour

• Shredded Mozzarella cheese

• Eggs

• Yeast (optional )

I always add yeast to any keto bread I because it enhances the flavor. It's not there as a rising agent. The baking powder in most of my keto recipe that contains yeast is the rising agent. This recipe does not require baking powder but my nut free bread does and I combine the two ingredients (yeast and baking powder)

How to make fathead dough with coconut flour

The original fathead dough recipe was made with almond flour. Which is very delicious but unfortunately people with nut allergies can't partake of that deliciousness hence the creation of a great alternative- Coconut flour fathead dough.

Coconut flour was used as a substitute to almond flour in the original recipe. But since coconut flour is a much more absorbent flour than almond flour it can't be substituted one for one with almond flour. See recipe card for full details and instructions.

1. Melt Cheeses together in the microwave or with a double boiler or even in your stove top. Make sure cheeses are uniformly melted

2. Mix in the flour and cold eggs. I like to use cold eggs for my fathead doughs because I believe it reduces the chances of the egg getting scrambled from the heat from that cheese and also because it helps me handle the dough better.

3. Use the dough. If you are making pizza with the dough pre bake. If making bread or bagels, you don't need to pre bake the dough.

Quick Recipe Notes and Tips

• When mixing with my hands, I mix the fathead dough in this order; melted cheese, flour , then eggs. I do this because the cheese is still warm and i don't want my eggs cooked from the heat. Adding the flour first to kind of reduced the temperature of the cheese.

• When mixing with a food processor, mix in this order: flour, eggs then melted cheese.

• For the modified version of this dough, add ½ teaspoon of baking powder and 2 teaspoons of erythritol to this recipe to make pretzel bites or cinnamon pretzel nuggets.
