Make a satisfying, low-carb pizza night with this easy, 4-ingredient Fathead dough crust. This recipe delivers a crispy yet chewy base perfect for holding your favorite toppings.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and almond flour. Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds until the cheese is fully melted and soft.
Stir the melted cheese and almond flour mixture together until combined.
Add the egg and baking powder to the cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms. You may need to knead it briefly by hand once it cools slightly.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a 10 to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent large bubbles.
Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it starts to turn light golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired low-carb toppings, and return to the oven to bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.
Notes
For a crispier crust, bake the crust for an extra 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
If you want a nut-free keto crust, substitute the almond flour with 1/2 cup of coconut flour mixed with 1/4 cup of unflavored whey protein isolate.
This dough is excellent for grain free pizza crust applications.
