Ingredients

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

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 and cubed cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, 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. Mix well with a spoon until a dough forms.
  4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a 10-inch circle or rectangle, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Poke the dough several times with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  6. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your low-carb sauce and desired toppings.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, bake the crust for an extra 3-5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before rolling.
  • This is a grain-free pizza dough, making it an excellent gluten free pizza crust keto option.
