Description

This Low Carb Pizza Crust recipe offers a delicious, keto-friendly alternative to traditional pizza dough. Made with mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, and flavorful seasonings, it’s quick to prepare and perfect for those looking to enjoy pizza without the carbs. The crust bakes to a golden brown, providing a sturdy base for your favorite low-carb toppings and a satisfying crispy texture.

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

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. 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.
  3. Add eggs and form dough: Crack in the eggs and stir the mixture thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake the crust: Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes or until it turns golden brown and feels slightly firm to the touch.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
