Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt, mixing well to evenly distribute the seasonings and cheese.
- Add eggs and form dough: Crack in the eggs and stir the mixture thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Shape the crust: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten it evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness, shaping it into a pizza crust.
- Bake the crust: Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes or until it turns golden brown and feels slightly firm to the touch.
- Add toppings and bake again: Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired pizza toppings, then return it to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes to melt toppings and heat through.
- Slice and serve: Once done, slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use shredded mozzarella cheese that melts well for best dough consistency.
- Ensure the dough is evenly flattened for uniform cooking.
- You can customize toppings, but keep them low-carb to maintain the recipe’s nutrition profile.
- Allow the crust to cool slightly before slicing to help maintain its shape.
- This crust can also be pre-baked and refrigerated or frozen for later use.
