Description

This Low Carb Pizza Crust recipe offers a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pizza dough, perfect for those watching their carbohydrate intake. Made with mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, and flavorful seasonings, this crust is crispy, cheesy, and easy to prepare, baking quickly in the oven to provide a satisfying base for all your favorite pizza toppings.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
