Make this easy, low carb pizza crust using the popular Fathead dough method. It results in a crispy yet chewy gluten free pizza base perfect for your next keto dinner.

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
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese cubes in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 90 seconds total.
  3. Stir the melted cheese mixture until it is well combined.
  4. Add the egg, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, and salt to the cheese mixture. Mix with a spoon until a dough starts to form.
  5. Turn the mixture out onto the parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper over the dough.
  6. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out evenly into a 10 to 12-inch circle, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Remove the top piece of parchment paper.
  7. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it begins to turn light golden brown.
  8. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite low carb pizza toppings.
  9. 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 crust, bake the crust for an additional 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
  • You can substitute coconut flour for almond flour, but use only 1/2 cup and expect a slightly different texture.
  • This dough freezes well before the initial bake; wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
