INGREDIENTS YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS ALMOND FLOUR PIZZA CRUST

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 3/4 cup of almond flour (almond meal works in this recipe too)
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

HOW TO MAKE ALMOND FLOUR PIZZA DOUGH

• Preheat oven to 425°F
• Melt cheeses together in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 1 minute
• Stir and put back in microwave for 1 more minute until cheese melts all the way
• Stir again and add dry ingredients (almond flour and garlic salt)
• Mix with fork or hands until incorporated (be careful using your hands because the cheese will be hot)
• Spread ball of dough out on parchment paper with your hands or a rolling pin (see notes). It will be a thin crust.
• Place parchment paper on baking sheet and bake fathead pizza crust in preheated oven for 4 minutes
• Remove from oven and add your favorite pizza toppings
• Bake again until cheese has melted and edges are golden brown (about 4-6 minutes) – if you want a crispy crust, bake it another minute or two

CHEESY BREAD STICKS

If you’re following a low carb diet and craving bread sticks, this keto dough makes amazing bread sticks to dip in marinara. Spread the dough into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Bake for 6-10 minutes, until edges are golden brown. Using a pizza cutter, cut cooked dough into strips and dip in your favorite marinara sauce or pizza sauce!

LEFTOVERS

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. The best way to reheat this pizza is in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes.

A traditional fathead pizza recipe uses one large egg to help the ingredients stick together, and I used an egg the first time I made this recipe. But I didn’t have any eggs on hand when I made it again and it turned out even more delicious, so I decided to omit the egg altogether.

PARCHMENT PAPER

I have made this keto pizza recipe countless times, and parchment paper is the key to getting your dough not to stick to the pan.

If you want to use a round pizza pan or pizza stone, cut your pieces of parchment paper to fit the pan. I have tried the recipe without parchment paper using multiple surfaces, including a stone, aluminum foil, and a heavily greased pan, but the dough stuck to the surface each time. If you prefer a silicone baking mat, it may work, but parchment paper is fail-proof, and the pizza crusts lifts off perfectly.

WAFFLE MAKER PIZZAS

For a fun activity on your next pizza night, divide the dough into four equal sections and flatten out to the dimensions of your waffle maker! Cooke the fathead dough in the waffle maker and add your favorite toppings. This way everyone gets their own individual pizza to customize! Kids think it’s fun to make these individual waffle maker pizzas! Once you put your toppings on, place the pizzas on a baking sheet and place under your oven broiler until the cheese has melted.
