Make a crispy yet chewy, low-carb pizza base using this simple Fathead Dough recipe. This grain-free crust is perfect for your next keto dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the shredded mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the cheese is fully melted and soft.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder.
  4. Add the melted cheese, almond flour mixture, and the egg to a large mixing bowl. Mix with a spoon until combined, then use your hands to knead the dough until it forms a uniform ball.
  5. Place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 10- to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Remove the top layer of parchment paper. Carefully transfer the dough (still on the bottom parchment) to the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes until it starts to turn light golden brown.
  8. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your desired low-carb toppings.
  9. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy low carb pizza, poke the dough several times with a fork before the initial bake.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before rolling.
  • This recipe makes a grain-free pizza base that holds up well to heavy toppings.
