Ingredients

Scale

Base Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg, beaten

Toppings

  • Sauce of your choice
  • Pizza toppings of your choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s at the optimal temperature for baking the crust.
  2. Melt Cheeses: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Microwave together for 90 seconds, stirring halfway through, until the mixture is melted and well combined.
  3. Form Dough: Stir in the almond flour and beaten egg into the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to handle, gradually add a little more almond flour. Knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and manageable.
  4. Roll Dough: Place the dough between two large sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 10-inch circle about 1/3 inch thick. This prevents sticking and helps achieve an even thickness.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Remove the top piece of parchment paper. Transfer the bottom parchment with the dough onto a pizza pan or an upside-down baking sheet.
  6. Dock the Crust: Use a fork to pierce multiple holes all over the dough. This step ensures even baking by preventing air bubbles from forming under the crust.
  7. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it turns slightly golden brown.
  8. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread your preferred sauce, sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese, and add your desired pizza toppings evenly over the crust.
  9. Bake with Toppings: Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and toppings are cooked.
  10. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and enjoy your keto-friendly homemade pizza.

Notes

  • If the dough is sticky, gradually add more almond flour until it reaches a pliable consistency.
  • Rolling the dough between parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes it easier to transfer to the pan.
  • Docking the dough with a fork prevents air bubbles and ensures a uniformly cooked crust.
  • Use a pizza pan or an inverted baking sheet to bake the crust evenly.
  • Customize toppings to your preference, keeping them keto-friendly for best results.
