Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
- Stir the egg and almond flour into the melted cheese mixture until a uniform dough forms. This dough will be sticky.
- 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. Poke the dough all over with a fork to prevent large bubbles.
- Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it starts to turn light golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven. Add your desired low-carb toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the crust for an extra 3 minutes before adding toppings.
- If you want a nut-free keto pizza crust, substitute the almond flour with 1/2 cup of finely ground pork rinds or whey protein isolate.
- This dough works well for quick keto dinner preparation.
