Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (plus more for topping)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg (beaten)
- sauce & pizza toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature ensures a crispy crust, so don’t skip this step!
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave them together for 90 seconds, stirring halfway through. You want it to be completely melted and smooth without any lumps.
- After microwaving, stir in 3/4 cup of almond flour and 1 beaten egg. Mix until everything is combined. If the dough seems too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more almond flour until it reaches a workable consistency. Avoid overmixing, or the dough can become tough.
- Place the dough between two large pieces of parchment paper. Roll it out gently into a 10-inch circle, aiming for about 1/3 inch thick. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, lightly dust it with almond flour.
- Remove the top piece of parchment paper. Transfer the bottom piece with the dough onto a pizza pan or an upside-down sheet pan. Be careful not to stretch the dough too much during this step.
- Using a fork, pierce holes all over the surface of the dough. This helps it cook evenly and prevents bubbling, which can ruin your crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. You’ll want it to turn slightly golden brown around the edges and firm in the center.
- Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly before topping it with your favorite sauce, additional cheese, and toppings of your choice.
- Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning!
- Once done, let it sit for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious keto pizza!

Keywords: For best results, use high-quality mozzarella cheese and avoid pre-shredded varieties. If using coconut flour instead of almond flour, start with just 1/4 cup and adjust as needed.
