Crispy Egg-Free Fathead Pizza Crust

Crispy Egg-Free Fathead Pizza Crust

Crispy around the edges, cheesy in the middle, and perfect for a low-carb pizza night!

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz (½ block) cream cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• ¼ tsp garlic powder, optional
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning, optional
• Pinch of salt, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the cheeses:
   Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir well.
3. Melt again:
   Microwave for another 30–60 seconds, or until the cheese mixture is very soft and easy to stir. Be careful—the bowl will be hot.
4. Add almond flour:
   Immediately add the almond flour and any optional seasonings. Stir thoroughly until a soft dough forms.
5. Shape the crust:
   Place the dough on the prepared pizza pan. Flatten and spread it into a thin, even circle. For a crispier crust, keep it relatively thin.
6. Pre-bake:
   Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 6 minutes, until the crust begins to firm up and lightly brown.
7. Add toppings:
   Remove from the oven and add your favorite low-carb pizza sauce, mozzarella, cooked chicken, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, or other toppings.
8. Bake again:
   Return to the oven for another 5–6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is nicely browned.
9. Cool slightly:
   Let the pizza rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing. This helps the crust firm up.

🔥 Extra-Crispy Tip

For an even crispier crust, spread the dough thinly and evenly and avoid adding too much sauce or wet toppings.
