Description
A low carb pizza crust made with almond flour and melted cheese, offering a crispy outside and tender inside for a lighter yet satisfying pizza base.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together until smooth, stirring to combine.
- Add the egg, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the melted cheese mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Place the dough onto the prepared baking tray and press it evenly into a thin crust shape.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and firm.
- Remove from the oven, add desired toppings, and return to the oven until toppings are cooked and cheese is melted.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add Italian seasoning or garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Roll thinner for a crispier crust or thicker for a softer texture.
- Use small portions to make personal-sized pizzas.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or skillet for best texture.
- Experiment with small amounts of coconut flour for variation.
