Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup Wholesome Yum blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup Wholesome Yum coconut flour
Toppings
- 1 cup favorite low-carb pizza sauce
- Assorted toppings (such as pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, etc.)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Flour and Egg: In a large bowl or food processor, combine the egg with almond flour and coconut flour, creating the dry base for the dough.
- Melt Cheeses: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese together for 90 seconds, stirring halfway through to ensure even melting.
- Form Dough: Add the melted cheese mixture to the flour and egg mixture. Process in the food processor or knead by hand until a uniform, cohesive dough forms.
- Shape Crust: Spread the dough evenly onto the prepared baking pan, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/3 inch for optimal texture.
- Pre-bake Crust: Bake the crust for 6 minutes. Check for bubbles and poke holes if necessary to avoid air pockets, then bake for an additional 3 to 7 minutes until it is lightly golden.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Spread the low-carb pizza sauce over the pre-baked crust and add your favorite assorted toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the toppings are heated through.
- Optional Broil: For a beautifully browned cheese finish, broil the pizza for 1 to 2 minutes watching carefully to prevent burning.
Notes
- Ensure the crust thickness is consistent to avoid uneven baking.
- Use low-carb sauce and toppings to keep the pizza keto-friendly.
- Broiling time is optional and should be monitored closely to prevent burning.
- Almond and coconut flours provide texture and moisture balance in the crust.
- Stirring during cheese melting prevents uneven texture or burning.
