Ingredients:
Keto Pizza Crust:
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, beaten
Toppings:
• 1/2 cup low-carb pizza sauce (such as Rao’s)
• 1 cup Italian sausage, cooked and drained
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or line with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Beat the Eggs
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Set aside.
Step 4: Melt the Cheeses
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Step 5: Combine the Dough
Stir in half of the almond flour mixture. Mix well. Add the remaining flour and the beaten eggs. The dough will look lumpy at first—keep mixing! Use a silicone spatula to fold and press the dough together.
Step 6: Knead the Dough
Once it becomes too thick to stir, use clean hands to knead it into a soft, pliable ball. If it’s sticky, you can lightly oil your hands or add a touch more almond flour.
Step 7: Form the Crust
Press the dough out evenly onto your prepared pan, forming a round pizza shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 8: Pre-Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. If the crust puffs up, gently poke holes with a fork to deflate it.
Step 9: Add Toppings
Spread the sauce evenly over the crust. Top with cooked sausage and shredded mozzarella.
Step 10: Final Bake
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips:
• Swap Almond Flour: If you’re allergic to almonds, try sunflower seed flour as a keto-friendly alternative.
• Make It Spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños for a kick.
• More Toppings: Feel free to add olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers—just keep it low-carb.
• Dough Too Sticky? Add a tablespoon more almond flour or refrigerate it for 10 minutes before kneading.
• Want Extra Crispy Crust? After baking, place slices back in the oven for a few minutes on a wire rack.
Storage and Reheating:
Refrigerator:
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer:
Freeze individual slices between layers of parchment paper in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Reheating:
• Oven: Bake at 350°F for 5–7 minutes until hot and crisp.
• Air Fryer: Heat at 350°F for 3–5 minutes.
• Microwave: Quick and easy, but crust will be softer—30 to 60 seconds on high.
Keto Pizza is the perfect solution for low-carb cravings without compromise. With a cheesy, golden crust and rich toppings, it satisfies every pizza lover—without the carbs. Quick enough for a weeknight dinner and customizable for the whole family, it’s a must-have in any keto kitchen. Enjoy your pizza night the keto way!
