keto pizza crust

The Best Keto Pizza Crust

almond flour

tsp xanthan gum ((optional))

tsp baking powder

tsp italian spices (see recipe here)

salt

1/16 tsp pepper (add 1/4 tsp if you like more pepper)

egg (room temperature, whisked)

mozzarella

Pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, bacon, olives, peppers, mushrooms etc. (for topping)

Pre-heat oven to 350*F.

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).

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).

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

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

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!

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

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

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).

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

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.

Turn your oven up to 400*F.

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.

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

Just made it today for my husband and I and it came out really good. Broiled it at the end since we’re from NY and we like it well done! I added Italian seasoning, garlic power and a little almond flower to give it some texture.

The best keto pizza crust EVER ! Thank-you so much for sharing!

My husband was put on a low carb diet, so we tried this. The taste was okay, but he said it tasted like eating pizza on an omelet, too much egg. I am going to try a different variation with less egg.

I made this for me and regular pizza for the rest of the family- they loved this and ate all of mine. I used my own favorite toppings.

Made this with Low carb cauliflower casserole And could only get one piece in...filling and great.  Thank you

I'm not sure how many times I have made this now and I tweaked it a little bit each time. My husband and I absolutely love it! It's definitely a once-a-week staple for us. Thank you so much for sharing it!

I am new to the Keto Diet and this was a way to get my husband to eat healthier pizza if there is such a thing but I added the Carbs up from what I used which I will make better choices the next time but the 4 cups of mozzarella cheese had 32 carbs the eggs and pepperoni had zero carbs and the Ragu pizza sauce had 4 net carbs for 1/4 cup I used 1/2 cup sauce so total carbs 40 carbs but divided by 8 slices it is 5 total Carbs

Didn’t care for this. Tasted like overcooked eggs.

Just made this for my family. Is was amazing. So easy. And great for my keto diet. Thank you

This Low-Carb Pizza Crust Is Shockingly Good

Easy keto pizza crust recipe that can be used for everything from pizza to garlic knots to cinnamon rolls!

Keto Pizza Crust Recipe

tbsp butter

coconut flour

garlic powder

tsp salt

Sprinkle a clean counter or a large silicone baking mat with almond flour.

In a large saucepan, melt the cheese and butter together over low heat until they are melted and can be stirred together.

Remove the pan from over the heat and add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add the egg and stir everything together until a cohesive dough forms. Use a rubber spatula to really knead the dough together in the pan. It may still contain some streaks of cheese.

Turn the dough out onto the prepared work surface and knead until uniform. This will only take a little kneading. If your dough is still very sticky, add a tablespoon or two more almond flour and work it in.

Dough

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and place an oven rack in the middle position.

Roll the dough out between pieces of parchment paper to a 12 inch circle.  Remove the top piece of parchment and roll up the edge a little to create a crust.

Transfer the bottom parchment with the dough on it to a cookie sheet or pizza stone. Bake 10 to 15 minutes until starting to brown and firm up.

Remove the crust from the oven and top with your favourite toppings. Bake again until the toppings are melted and bubbly. 

Pizza Crust

Low carb pizza crust made with cheese and almond flour! Top it off with all your favorite pizza toppings.

Pepperoni Fathead Pizza

mozzarella (divided)

cream cheese

Italian seasoning

sugar-free marinara

pepperoni

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Add 2 cups of mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir to combine and return to microwave until cheese has melted, about 30 more seconds.

Stir in the almond flour, egg, and Italian seasoning to combine.

Place the dough on a large sheet of parchment paper. Top with a second sheet of parchment.

Roll the dough out into a 12 inch diameter circle.

Remove the top piece of parchment and transfer the bottom sheet with the dough on it to a pizza pan.

Bake for 10 minutes or until crust is lightly golden.

For an extra sturdy crust that holds up well, carefully flip the crust over and bake for 3 more minutes.

Remove crust from the oven. Spread the marinara over the pizza crust and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella. Arrange pepperoni evenly over the top.

Bake the pizza for another 10 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

If you love leftover pizza for breakfast, you love this keto breakfast pizza with fresh crumbled bacon, basil and a creamy garlic sauce. Even a few eggs are cracked on the top for the ultimate slice of heaven first thing in the morning!

Keto Breakfast Pizza

mozzarella cheese, plus ½ cup for topping

baking powder

xanthan gum

full fat ricotta cheese

garlic

mozzarella cheese

bacon,

red pepper flakes

parmesan cheese

basil leaves, sliced

Preheat oven

Melt the cheese

Place 3 cups of mozzarella in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Microwave until cheese is melted - about 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and let the mixture cool while combining the remaining ingredients. If you don't want to melt the cheese in a microwave, you can add it to a non-stick skillet and melt over the stovetop over medium heat.

Food process it

To a food processor, add almond flour, one egg, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Scoop in melted mozzarella cheese. Pulse until a dough ball forms. If you don't own a food processor, you can mix the ingredients using an electric mixer or knead by hand until a dough is formed.

Flatten it

Place the dough in between two pieces of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out dough to desired thickness - about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Remove top parchment layer and place the pizza dough and bottom parchment paper on top of a baking sheet or pizza stone.

You will need a small bowl

In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

Sprinkle evenly

Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the rolled out keto pizza dough.

Dollop and bake

Add dollops of garlic ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the pizza. Sprinkle red pepper flakes and grated parmesan cheese over the pizza. Bake at 400 degrees for 4 minutes.

Create some divots

Remove from oven. Use the back of a large spoon to make 4 divots on the pizza and crack remaining eggs into each divot. Return pizza to oven and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes or until egg white are almost set. Set oven to broil and broil pizza until eggs are cooked but yolks are still runny (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).

Finish with basil

Remove pizza from oven. Sprinkle basil over pizza.

Fat Head crust is the top recipe for keto pizza. This cheesy, low-carb, fat filled crust offers a chewy, bread-like texture, but a crispy underbelly crust. This pizza allows you to follow the ketogenic diet with ZERO compromise! 

Keto Pizza

(about 10 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese

seasoning,

garlic powder, optional

Place mozzarella in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Microwave for about two minutes. Stir to combine and make sure all of the cheese is melted. You may need to microwave for additional time if all the cheese has not melted. Remove from microwave and let the mixture cool.

Mix dry ingredients

In a large separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt and seasonings, if using. Set aside.

Mix dough

To a food processor, add melted mozzarella cheese, egg and dry ingredients. 

Knead pizza dough

Once combined, form a big dough ball. Knead the dough a couple of times on a lightly almond floured surface to ensure the dough is uniform in appearance and all ingredients are fully combined.

Layer between parchment 

Place the ball in between two pieces of parchment paper. You can also just use a silpat mat if you have one of those, but having that top layer of parchment paper keeps the dough from sticking to you and your rolling pin. Plus it allows you to roll out a nice thin pizza crust.

Roll out crust

Roll out dough to desired thickness. Remove top parchment layer and place on top of a baking sheet.

Watcha gonna add?

Bake

Bake in a 400 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.

The supreme guide tomaking basic fat head dough (almond flour or coconut flour). The most POPULAR KETO pizza crust recipe ... thin crispy crust OR keto deep pan pizza.

Fat Head Dough Recipe (almond flour or coconut flour)

almond meal/flour

tbsp cream cheese

Mix the shredded/grated cheese and almond flour/meal in a microwaveable bowl. Add the cream cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.

Heat

Stir then microwave on HIGH for another 30 seconds.

If you don&#39;t have a microwave, you can heat the shredded cheese and cream cheese in a medium saucepan over a low-medium heat. Make sure to mix and stir continuously to prevent the cheese from burning and sticking to the saucepan. Remove from the heat and add the almond flour or coconut flour.

Season

Add the egg, salt, rosemary and any other flavourings, mix gently.

Roll

Place in between 2 pieces of baking parchment/paper and roll into a circular pizza shape (see photos above). Remove the top baking paper/parchment. If the mixture hardens and becomes difficult to work with, pop it back in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften again but not too long or you will cook the egg.

Make fork holes all over the pizza base to ensure it cooks evenly.

Slide the baking paper/parchment with the keto pizza base, on a baking tray (cookie tray) or pizza stone, and bake at 220C/425F for 12-15 minutes, or until brown.

Turn

To make the base really crispy and sturdy, flip the pizza over (onto baking paper/parchment) once the top has browned.

Serve

Once cooked, remove from the oven and add all the toppings you like. Make sure any meat is already cooked as this time it goes back into the oven just to heat up the toppings and melt the cheese. Bake again at 220C/425F for 5 minutes.

I left out the egg (really I forgot it haha) but it was still dang delicious and one of the better keto pizza crusts I’ve had! Super simple too!

I found fathead dough well before I was aware of keto food blogs, and the place I got my original recipe from was very wordy and confusing.  Your explanations are clear and concise.  I definitely plan to use your recipe next time I want a fathead pizza.  I especially liked seeing the note about flipping the crust over halfway through baking.  Also, putting the almond flour in with the cheese at the start.  I think that will solve some of the issues I've had with baking (one side coming out darker than the other, for example).  One thing I would like to point out is that everyone's microwave is different, and as i recall, with my microwave I only need to nuke my dough for 60 seconds.  That gets it to where it needs to be, but it's not uncomfortably hot to handle and makes it easier to add the egg and work the dough.

How to make Fat Head Pizza. This is Google's number one low carb and keto pizza recipe. It's the holy grail for low carb pizza, gluten-free, grain-free, wheat free and simply incredible.

How to make Fat Head pizza

Everyone is obsessed with this easy keto pizza recipe! My crispy, chewy crust has 2 low carb flour options and tastes like regular pizza.

Keto Pizza (With Crispy, Chewy Crust)

Mozzarella cheese ((shredded))

tbsp Cream cheese

Egg ((beaten))

Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour

Eggs ((whisked))

Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour

Prep: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. For best results, preheat a pizza stone in the oven and line a pizza peel with parchment paper for preparing the keto pizza crust.

Mix the flour and eggs: In a large bowl or in a food processor, mix the egg(s) and either almond flour or coconut flour, depending on which version you are making. (A food processor will make a fluffier crust and is easier, but it&#39;s fine to do this by hand if needed.)

Melt the cheeses: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese. Microwave for 90 seconds, stirring halfway through. Stir again at the end until well incorporated. (If you prefer not to use the microwave, melt the cheeses in a double boiler on the stove instead.)

Combine: Add the melted cheeses to the flour mixture. Process in the food processor or knead with your hands (depending on the method you are using), until a uniform dough forms, with no streaks. If the cheese hardens before it fully mixes into the flour mixture, you can microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it. If it&#39;s sticky, see my tips in the post above.

Form the crust: Spread the dough onto the lined baking pan or pizza peel to 1/4&quot; or 1/3&quot; thickness, using your hands or a rolling pin over a piece of parchment paper (the rolling pin works better if you have one). Use a toothpick or fork to poke lots of holes throughout the crust to prevent bubbling.

Bake: Bake for 6 minutes. (If using a pizza stone, slide the parchment paper from the pizza peel to the stone.) Poke more holes in any places where you see bubbles forming. Bake for 3-7 more minutes, until lightly golden. (Don&#39;t let the crust get too dark at this step, or the edges will burn by the time you cook the pizza with toppings.)

To make keto pizza: After pre-baking the crust, top with your favorite sauce and toppings. Return the pizza to the oven, either directly on the pizza stone or directly on the oven rack (no parchment paper), for about 10 minutes, until hot. If you like, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese.

I'm a pizza fanatic and this recipe is very satisfying!  I make the almond flour version.  I top it with sugar free pizza sauce, cooked Italian sausage, and pepperoni.  Then I top that off with shredded mozzarella.  It’s simple, but that's exactly the way I like it. 😋  This rates at least 5 stars.

Thank you for bringing this recipe into my life! 🙂 I was so disappointed to see how many carbs were in our local pizzeria’s cauliflower crusts (not to mention how expensive they are). This recipe is a definite keeper!

This turned out beautifully!  Have been trying different recipes for wrap alternatives without much success but was looking for a keto pizza crust and your recipe did not disappoint!  It looked and had the consistency of a pizza crust and tasted great too!

I love the taste, texture and ease of this pizza crust. I have made different pizzas including cheese, cheese and pepperoni, as well as white with garlic and basil. My question is regarding other uses for this basic dough. Each recipe that comes up under fathead dough is slightly different. Should this be just for pizza or can the premade dough be adapted?

This was a “labor of love” for me to make BUT SOOOOOOOO WORTH IT! I absolutely LOVED the crust and it came out PERFECTLY! I’ve never made pizza at home and I haven’t had pizza in the years I’ve been doing low carb so this was the BIGGEST treat for me!!!!! Thank you sooo much for creating and posting this recipe!!!

I could not find the recipe I’d made before so I decided to give this one a try.
I’m so glad I did. It was delicious. The taste and texture were great and even my non low carb eaters thought it was delicious. This will be my go to from now on. Thank you for a great recipe! I made the pizza sauce recipe as well and it was excellent.

No changes made it as is, and it was wonderful.

This recipe was not good for me. It stuck on my parchment paper
