Easy 4-Ingredient Fathead Keto Pizza Crust
Make an easy, low-carb pizza crust with only 4 ingredients using the Fathead dough method.
Equipment
- microwave
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- rolling pin
Ingredients
Cheese and Dough
- 1 ¾ cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup almond flour
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
- Stir the egg and almond flour into the melted cheese mixture until a uniform dough forms.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about a ¼-inch thickness into your desired pizza shape.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Poke the dough all over with a fork to prevent large bubbles.
- Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired toppings, and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese melts.
Notes
For a crispier crust, bake the crust for an extra 2 to 3 minutes before adding toppings. You can substitute coconut flour for almond flour, but use only ½ cup, as coconut flour absorbs more liquid. This dough can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
