Introduction to Keto Pizza Crust
In addition to the ingredients above you will need a pizza pan, a microwave safe bowl and a spatula. Making the crust moves very quickly, so prep your ingredients first. To make the perfect pizza crust follow the steps below:
Prepare the Flour
In a bowl combine the almond flour, baking powder and salt until completely combined.
Beat the Eggs
In another bowl beat the eggs very well. Set aside.
Melt Mozzarella and Cream Cheese
In a large, microwave safe bowl add the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each cycle.
Add the Flour
It may take 2-3 30 second cycles before the cheese has melted completely. When the cheese is completely melted and easy to stir add half of the almond flour and using a silicone spatula work it into the dough. Once a dough begins to form add the remaining flour and continue to stir. Use your spatula and create a well in the dough. Add the beaten egg and stir as best you can.
The dough will be lumpy and you will feel like it will never be smooth, but it will! After you’ve worked it as much as you can with the spatula use your clean hands to knead the dough until all the egg is incorporated. This may take up to 6-7 minutes.
Spread onto Pan
Spread the crust onto a greased pizza pan. Be sure to leave a bit of a rise around the edges for your crust. My pan is 14″, but you could stretch the dough a bit thinner to fill a 16″ pan if you prefer.
Pre-bake the Crust
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the crust without any toppings for 7 minutes. Once you have baked the crust remove it from the oven and if it has puffed up carefully poke a few holes in the crust to release the air.
