Description
The Keto Pizza crust is made by combining eggs, cottage cheese, melted butter, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and shredded cheddar cheese. The dough is wet and sticky, requiring rolling out between parchment paper to the desired size and thickness. Baking at 400 degrees until the crust firms and crisps provides a crunchy yet tender base. The longer the bake, the crispier the crust becomes.
Once baked, you add low-carb toppings such as pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausages, or vegetables, then bake again briefly to melt the cheese and heat toppings. This method produces a satisfying pizza experience with a crust that supports a variety of toppings without traditional wheat flour.
This recipe suits those seeking a low-carbohydrate alternative to standard pizza crusts and can be prepared in an oven or air fryer. The use of cottage cheese or sour cream adds moisture and tenderness to the dough.
Ingredients
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese sour cream can be substituted
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and butter. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, garlic powder, and salt. Add dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Mixture will be wet. Stir in the cheddar cheese.
- Roll ball of dough with a rolling pin between two parchment paper sheets to desired size, thickness, and shape. The dough will be very wet. You can chill the dough in the fridge for about 10 minutes to make peeling the parchment off easier. Peel the top parchment sheet off and bake it on the bottom sheet of parchment on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until desired level of crispiness. The longer you bake it the crispier it gets!
- Remove from oven and load your pizza however you like with all of your favorite sauces, cheese, and toppings. Bake pizza for another 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
