Make this easy, low carb pizza crust using the popular Fathead dough method. This recipe yields a crispy yet chewy keto pizza crust perfect for your next homemade pizza night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 90 seconds total.
  3. Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well with a spoon until a dough forms.
  4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a 10 to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper.
  5. Transfer the dough (still on the bottom parchment paper) to the baking sheet. Poke the dough all over with a fork to prevent large bubbles.
  6. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite low carb pizza toppings.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For a crispier keto crust, you can pre-bake the crust for an extra 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before rolling.
  • This recipe makes one 10-inch low carb pizza base.
