This recipe shows you how to make the best keto pizza crust using the popular Fathead dough method. It is low carb, gluten free, and uses only four simple ingredients.

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 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the shredded mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the cheese is fully melted and soft.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder.
  4. Pour the melted cheese into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the egg.
  5. Mix the ingredients together using a spatula until a sticky dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead it briefly until it comes together.
  6. Place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle or rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Transfer the bottom parchment paper with the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake the crust for 8 to 12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  9. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite low-carb pizza toppings.
  10. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • For a crispier low carb pizza crust, prick the dough all over with a fork before the first bake.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before rolling.
  • This recipe makes a perfect keto crust substitute for traditional wheat crusts.
