A quick and easy keto-friendly pizza dough recipe that delivers a crispy, chewy crust using simple ingredients like mozzarella, cream cheese, and almond flour. Perfect for low-carb meals and keto diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 170g)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened (56g)
  • ¾ cup almond flour (84g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder (optional but recommended)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth (about 1½ to 2 minutes). Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on the stove.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well to distribute evenly.
  4. Add the dry mixture and the egg to the melted cheese. Use a sturdy spoon or spatula to combine. The dough will be sticky and stretchy. If too wet, add a tablespoon more almond flour; if too dry, add a splash of water.
  5. Transfer the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Using lightly oiled hands or a rolling pin covered with parchment, gently shape the dough into a circle or rectangle about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) thick.
  6. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and firm around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and add your favorite keto-friendly toppings. Avoid watery toppings to prevent sogginess.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven for another 7-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and toppings are cooked through.
  9. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing to help the crust firm up.

Notes

Do not skip the baking powder for a lighter crust. Melt cheese slowly to avoid graininess. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping. Shape dough thinly (about ¼ inch) for crispiness. Avoid watery toppings to prevent soggy crust. Let crust rest after baking for easier slicing. Dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. For dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and cheese alternatives but expect texture differences.
