A quick and easy keto-friendly pizza dough recipe that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, perfect for low carb diets and keto lifestyles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (part-skim recommended)
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat preferred)
  • ¾ cup almond flour (blanched almond flour preferred)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Low-carb tomato sauce or sugar-free pizza sauce (for topping)
  • Shredded mozzarella or favorite cheese blend (for topping)
  • Fresh basil, pepperoni, veggies, or any keto-friendly toppings

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth (about 1-1½ minutes). Alternatively, melt over low heat in a saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  4. Pour the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg immediately and stir quickly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a bit more almond flour, but keep it pliable.
  5. Place the dough on the prepared parchment paper. Lightly dust your hands or rolling pin with almond flour and roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. If the dough resists stretching, let it rest for a minute and try again.
  6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until it starts turning golden and firm on top.
  7. Remove the parbaked crust from the oven. Spread your low-carb sauce evenly, sprinkle cheese, and add any desired toppings.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  9. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes to help the crust set further. Slice with a sharp knife or pizza cutter and serve.

Notes

Parbake the crust to ensure a crispy base and avoid sogginess. Use freshly shredded mozzarella for best melting. Let the dough rest if it resists stretching. Avoid overloading toppings to maintain crispiness. Dough can be prepared ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
