A quick and easy keto-friendly pizza dough recipe that yields a crispy, flavorful crust perfect for low-carb meals. Made with simple ingredients like almond flour, mozzarella, and cream cheese, this dough is versatile and foolproof.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour, finely ground
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) shredded mozzarella cheese, whole milk
  • 2 oz (56g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on the stove.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  4. Add the dry mixture and the egg to the melted cheese. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture starts to come together. It will be sticky.
  5. Lightly oil your hands and knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 1-2 minutes. If too sticky, add a little more almond flour, but don’t overdo it.
  6. Place the dough on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, press it out evenly into a 10-12 inch (25-30 cm) circle or rectangle about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick, keeping edges slightly thicker.
  7. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and just set.
  8. Remove from oven and brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Add your favorite keto-friendly sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  9. Return to oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden brown and crispy.
  10. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing to help the crust firm up.

Notes

Melt cheeses slowly in bursts to avoid burning. Par-bake the crust to prevent sogginess. Lightly oil hands when kneading to manage stickiness. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup. Baking at 425°F crisps the crust without drying it out. For extra crispness, use a pizza stone and brush crust edges with oil or butter before baking.
