Description
Make a satisfying, low-carb pizza crust using the popular Fathead dough method with only four basic ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
- Stir the egg and almond flour into the melted cheese mixture until a uniform dough forms.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about a 1/4-inch thickness into your desired pizza shape.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Poke the dough all over with a fork to prevent large bubbles.
- Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired toppings, and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese melts.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, bake the crust for an extra 2 to 3 minutes before adding toppings.
- You can substitute coconut flour for almond flour, but use only 1/2 cup, as coconut flour absorbs more liquid.
- This dough can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
