Ingredients
Scale
Cheeses
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt thoroughly to evenly distribute all flavors.
- Add Eggs and Form Dough: Add the two large eggs to the cheese and flour mixture and stir vigorously until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring all dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Shape the Crust: Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and flatten it with your hands or a spatula into a 1/4-inch thick, evenly shaped crust to ensure proper baking and texture.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and gains a slightly firm texture, which indicates it is cooked through and ready for toppings.
- Add Toppings and Bake Again: Remove the crust from the oven; add your choice of pizza toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the toppings are heated and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, slice it into 8 pieces, and serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure mozzarella cheese is shredded finely to help the dough bind well.
- Press the dough evenly to avoid uneven baking.
- The crust is delicate when hot; let it cool for a few minutes before adding heavy toppings.
- This recipe is ideal for low-carb and keto diets.
- You can add herbs or spices to customize the crust flavor.
