Description
This delicious keto pizza features a low-carb crust made with almond flour and cheese, perfect for satisfying pizza cravings while keeping carbs in check.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz Cream cheese (cubed)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Garlic powder (optional)
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of cubed cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute.
- Stir the mixture, then heat for another 30 seconds. You’ll know it’s ready when the cheeses are fully melted and smooth without lumps.
- Add 1 cup of almond flour, ½ tsp of baking powder, ½ tsp of garlic powder (if using), ½ tsp of Italian seasoning (if using), and a pinch of salt into the melted cheese mixture. Mix until well combined; the dough will be sticky.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add 1 large egg. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms. If it’s too sticky to handle, sprinkle in a little more almond flour.
- Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, press it out into a circle or your desired pizza shape, aiming for about 1/4 inch thickness. Avoid making it too thick, as it may not cook evenly.
- Add your favorite keto-friendly toppings — think sauce, cheese, meats, or veggies. Be careful not to overload it, as too many toppings can make the crust soggy.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Look for a golden brown crust that’s firm to the touch and melted, bubbly cheese on top.
- Once baked, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the crust firm up a bit more, making it easier to handle. Enjoy your keto pizza!
