Make this easy, low-carb pizza base using the Fathead dough method. This recipe delivers a satisfyingly crispy yet chewy texture, perfect for your next guilt-free pizza night.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). 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 between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 90 seconds total.
  3. Add the egg and almond flour to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead it slightly until everything is fully incorporated.
  4. Place the dough ball 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. Carefully transfer the crust (still on the bottom parchment paper) to the prepared baking sheet. Poke the surface several times with a fork to prevent large bubbles.
  6. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it begins to turn golden brown.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite low-carb toppings.
  8. 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 an extra crispy keto pizza, bake the crust for an additional 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
  • If you prefer a thicker crust, roll the dough slightly smaller.
  • This grain-free pizza crust holds up well to heavy toppings.
