Make a delicious, low-carb pizza base using this simple Fathead dough recipe. This gluten-free crust is crispy, chewy, and 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. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and almond flour. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and combined with the flour. This usually takes about 90 seconds total.
  3. Remove the cheese mixture from the microwave. Quickly mix in the egg and baking powder until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can briefly microwave it for another 10 seconds to make it easier to handle.
  4. Place the dough ball 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.
  5. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Poke the dough all over with a fork to prevent large bubbles.
  6. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes until it is lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite low-carb pizza toppings.
  8. 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 a crispier crust, bake the crust for an extra 3 to 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • If you want a slightly different flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the mozzarella with cream cheese before melting.
  • This recipe makes one standard 10-inch pizza base.
