    A pizza crust made low carb with mozzarella and cream cheese, almond flour, and an egg!
    Mozzarella Pizza Crust

    This Low Carb Pizza Crust Recipe is a keto friendly dough made with mozzarella, cream cheese, and almond flour. It turns out to be a surprisingly delicious, keto friendly recipe that is easy adapt to flavoring, and very easy to make!

    Pizza can be one of the hardest things for a low carb dieter to give up. As a matter of fact, there are times I still want my regular pizza crust and none of the mozzarella pizza crust. However, it is great to have options and when we aren't treating ourselves to a regular crust for a special occasion, you will find us consuming the mozzarella pizza crust instead.

    Favorite Recipes Made Keto

    Our decision to eat Keto was due to Grumpy being diagnosed with diabetes. It was easier for me at first, but as time went on, Grumpy has found it easier to follow the low carb lifestyle.

    Part of the reason it has not been as difficult as we expected is because I have been able to make recipes like this pizza crust. Being able to still enjoy pizza has been a big plus!

    Keto Pizza Crust FAQ's

    What is low carb pizza crust recipe made with?

    This recipe is made with part-skimmed mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, and egg. There are optional seasonings added to the crust to give it a little bit of flavoring.

    Is low carb pizza crust thick and chewy?

    Unfortunately, low carb pizza is lacking the gluten from flour. The gluten is what gives pizza its yeasty, doughy texture. This recipe will not be soft and doughy like a regular pizza crust. Rather it will be more like a crispy thin crust pizza.

    Can I pick the pizza slice up with my hands to eat?

    Low carb pizza crust is not as sturdy as one made with regular flour. However, once the pizza has cooled slightly, you can still consume it by using your hands.

    What does low carb pizza crust taste like?

    This low carb pizza crust is similar to a thin crust pizza. It has a flavor closer to pizza crust due to the almond flour in the dough.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Mozzarella Cheese

    Cream Cheese

    Almond Flour, I find this brand works best.

    Eggs

    Garlic Powder

    Onion Powder

    Italian Seasoning

    🔪 Instructions

    Similar to a thin crust pizza dough, this low carb pizza crust will become a staple for your keto kitchen!

    First, you want to measure and sort your ingredients prior to assembly. This will make putting it together so much easier!

    ingredients measured and ready to add to mixing bowl

    Place mozzarella and cream cheese in microwave safe bowl and microwave until soft enough to combine.

    Melted cheeses in mixing bowl with beaten egg and almond flour mixture to add to cheeses

    Add almond flour, seasonings and egg and mix until well combined. Return dough to microwave to soften dough should it become hard to mix.

    completely mixed pizza dough on parchment lined cookie sheet

    Flatten the pizza crust by pressing with your hands, or using a rolling pin. If your crust sticks to your hands or rolling pin, spray your hands or rolling pin with a little non stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Before placing pizza crust in the oven, prick several holes with the tines of a fork. This will help prevent "bubbling." Place pizza crust in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Watch carefully, if crust begins to puff up on top (bubbling), prick with a fork to deflate.

    Take pizza crust out of oven and carefully flip it over onto the cookie sheet. Return to oven and bake another 10 minutes until lightly browned.

    Your pizza crust is now ready to top with your favorite pizza toppings. Alternatively, you can cool it completely and freeze it up to 2 weeks, until ready to use.

    Top Tips

    • If you find your dough is getting hard to combine, place the dish back in the microwave and heat it another 15-30 seconds or until the cheese is soft enough to continue stirring the almond flour ingredients in.
    • When rolling out your dough, place a non-adhesive shelf liner under the cookie sheet to prevent it from sliding across your table when rolling.
    • If your dough sticks to your hands or rolling pin, you can use cooking spray to help or dampen your hands with water.
    • Prebake the pizza crust and freeze it up to 3 months. When ready to use, just remove from the freezer, assemble with toppings, and bake.

    📖 Variations

    • Eliminate the herbs and seasonings for an unflavored pizza crust.
    • Make breadsticks and lightly brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese

      I've been looking for a homemade low carb pizza crust that's not made with cauliflower because my family doesn't like cauliflower! I'm going to give this a try soon!
