Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 350*F.

Step 2

Add all of the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk them together. (This includes almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, italian spices, pepper and salt).

Step 3

In another microwavable bowl, add your shredded mozzarella and microwave for 30s at a time, stirring in-between until fully melted. (It takes me about 1min total but I have quite a terrible microwave, lol so yours may take less time).

Step 4

Once the mozzarella is well-melted, add your whisked egg and mix (it's okay if these two don't fully combine).

Step 5

Add your dry ingredients and mix again until a thick dough starts to form.

Step 6

Use your hands as the dough comes together to continue mixing the mozzarella with the rest of the ingredients. You'll need to knead the dough for a couple minutes to get it to blend together. If you are still having difficulty blending the mozzarella with the other ingredients, see my tips above to help you out!

Step 7

Once you can form a pretty even dough ball, transfer it to two large greased pieces of parchment or wax paper.

Step 8

Roll the dough out to be the thickness of your desired pizza crust (~1/4-1/2 inch thick).

Step 9

I rolled mine into a rectangular shape by gently pressing in the sides with my fingers to make it all even but you can make a classic round pizza instead! (Note in the picture my dough looks smaller, this is because I used a piece of leftover dough about 2/3rds of the size of the amount this recipe makes so you'll get a larger crust than mine).

Step 10

Using the parchment paper to lift it, gently transfer the pizza crust onto a baking sheet and place in the pre-heated oven.

Step 11

Bake for ~14-20min or until your your crust becomes golden brown around the edges. It should be firm enough to easily spread toppings on.

Step 12

Turn your oven up to 400*F.

Step 13

Next, add whichever toppings you prefer while the crust is still warm. Then place the pizza back in the oven to bake for another 7-10min or just until the cheese is melted/the toppings are warm.

Step 14

Slice and serve immediately! Enjoy The Best Keto Pizza Crust!
