💭 Tips

• If you find your dough is getting hard to mix, place the mixing bowl back in the microwave and heat it another 15-30 seconds, until the cheese is soft enough to continue stirring the almond flour ingredients in.
• When rolling out the fathead 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 or dampen your hands with water to help prevent sticking

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.

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.
