Create a satisfying, low-carb pizza base using this simple Fathead dough recipe. This almond flour pizza crust is crispy, chewy, and perfect for holding your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and almond flour. 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 baking powder to the melted cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms. You may need to knead it briefly by hand once it cools slightly.
  4. Place the dough 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. Transfer the bottom parchment paper with the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Poke the dough all over with a fork to prevent large air bubbles.
  6. Bake the crust for 8 to 12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden brown and set.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your desired low carb pizza toppings.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For a crispier keto crust, bake the crust for an extra 3 to 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • If your dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before rolling.
  • This recipe makes a gluten free pizza crust that works well for many keto baking hacks.
