Description

This Low Carb Pizza Crust recipe offers a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pizza crusts.

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt, mixing thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly.
  3. Add Eggs and Form Dough: Crack in the eggs and stir the mixture until it forms a cohesive, workable dough, with all ingredients fully incorporated.
  4. Shape the Crust: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and flatten it out evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness, creating the base for your pizza.
  5. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until it achieves a golden brown color and feels slightly firm to the touch, indicating it’s cooked through.
  6. Add Toppings and Bake Again: Remove the crust from the oven, add your favorite low-carb pizza toppings, then return to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes to melt the toppings and meld the flavors.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once finished baking, slice the pizza crust into 8 servings and serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the mozzarella is shredded finely to allow the dough to bind well.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  • Almond flour is essential for the low-carb aspect and texture of the crust; do not substitute with regular flour.
  • This crust is best consumed the same day for optimal freshness and crispiness.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings, but keep them low-carb to maintain the recipe’s nutritional benefits.
