Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • 2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 large egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Melt cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella in 30-second bursts for about 1 minute total, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth.
  2. Mix in egg: Stir the melted cheese mixture and add the egg, mixing thoroughly until you get a fully combined batter.
  3. Adjust consistency: If the dough feels too stiff, microwave it for an additional 5-10 seconds to soften it slightly.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and any desired seasonings.
  5. Form dough: Mix the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
  6. Shape dough: With wet hands to prevent sticking, shape the dough into your preferred pizza crust form.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the dough for 12-15 minutes until it is golden and cooked through, forming the perfect base for toppings.

Notes

  • Using wet hands when shaping the dough prevents it from sticking.
  • Feel free to add herbs or seasonings such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the dry mix for extra flavor.
  • If the dough is too sticky, chill it briefly in the refrigerator before shaping.
  • This dough is great for low-carb, keto, and gluten-free diets.
  • Make sure to preheat the oven fully to ensure a crispy crust.
