Make a satisfying, low-carb pizza crust using this simple Fathead dough recipe. This gluten-free base is crispy, chewy, and perfect for your next guilt-free pizza night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup almond flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 90 seconds total.
  3. Add the egg and almond flour to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients.
  4. Place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll the dough out evenly to about a 1/4-inch thickness, forming a circle or rectangle for your pizza shape.
  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, or until it begins to turn light golden brown.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your desired low-carb 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.
  • You can make this dough ahead of time and store it wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you prefer a nut-free option, search for a cheese or chicken crust recipe instead of this almond flour pizza base.
