Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a piece of parchment paper to prepare for rolling out the dough.
  2. Melt Cheese Mixture: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, almond flour, Italian seasoning, and salt. Microwave on high for 1 minute; if the cheese isn’t fully melted, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Egg: Stir in the cream cheese until combined. Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, add the egg and knead with clean hands until a smooth dough ball forms.
  4. Shape the Dough: Place the dough ball on oiled parchment paper and use wet hands or an oiled rolling pin to gently spread the dough into a 10-12 inch circle or oval shape.
  5. Bake the Crust: Carefully transfer the parchment paper with dough onto the oven rack or pizza stone. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, gently popping any bubbles during baking.
  6. Add Toppings and Finish Baking: Remove the crust, top with your favorite low-carb sauce and healthy toppings, then bake for another 8-10 minutes until toppings are melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust.
  • Wet or oil your hands before shaping the dough to prevent sticking.
  • Be careful when handling hot melted cheese to avoid burns.
  • This crust is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated.
  • Adjust toppings to keep the pizza keto-friendly and low-carb.
