The Best Keto Pizza Crust
Description
The Best Keto Pizza Crust recipe blends shredded mozzarella and cream cheese, microwaved briefly to melt, with almond flour, egg, baking powder, and optional Italian seasoning and garlic powder. This mixture forms a pliable dough that can be rolled or shaped by hand between parchment sheets to about a quarter-inch thickness. Baking at 450°F for 10 minutes sets the crust, after which toppings and sauces can be added. Additional baking melts the toppings and crisps the cheese.
Because the crust is rich in cheese and almond flour, its texture is softer and denser than wheat-based crusts, offering a chewy yet tender bite. The seasoning ingredients add subtle flavor depth suitable for many toppings. The crust is best baked on a sheet or pizza stone for even cooking.
This crust serves as the base for keto-friendly pizzas and can support various cheeses, meats, vegetables, and low-carb sauces. Its moderate thickness helps hold toppings without becoming soggy.
