This easy keto pizza crust recipe is a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional pizza dough, featuring a blend of mozzarella and cream cheese with almond flour for a perfect, crispy base. It’s simple to make and perfect for keto dieters or anyone looking for a gluten-free pizza crust option.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese, cubed

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Other

  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then heat for another 30 seconds until the cheeses melt completely and become smooth.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well; the dough will be sticky.
  4. Incorporate Egg: Allow the cheese mixture to cool slightly, then add the egg and mix until a dough forms. If too sticky, add a bit more almond flour to reach desired consistency.
  5. Shape Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, press it into a circle or preferred pizza shape about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Add Toppings and Bake: Top the crust with your favorite keto-friendly pizza toppings such as sauce, cheese, meats, and vegetables. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and firm, and toppings are melted and bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy your keto-friendly pizza!

Notes

  • The almond flour helps keep this crust gluten-free and low-carb.
  • Be careful not to overheat the cheese in the microwave to avoid burning.
  • Adding the egg after cooling the cheese slightly prevents the egg from scrambling.
  • You can customize toppings to fit your keto dietary needs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or skillet for best texture.
