Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure the crust does not stick during baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Add Eggs and Form Dough: Crack in the eggs and stir the mixture well. Continue mixing until it comes together into a cohesive dough.
- Shape the Crust: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, flatten it evenly into a 1/4-inch thick round or rectangular crust, depending on your preference.
- Bake the Crust: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and feels slightly firm to the touch.
- Add Toppings and Finish Baking: Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until toppings are cooked and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Once done, slice the pizza and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use shredded mozzarella cheese that melts well for best results.
- Ensure the dough is flattened evenly to avoid uneven cooking.
- Almond flour is key to keeping this crust low carb, so do not substitute with regular flour if following a low-carb diet.
- You can customize toppings to suit dietary preferences or ingredient availability.
- For a crispier crust, allow the crust to bake a few minutes longer before adding toppings.
