Keto Pizza

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   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. Microwave for additional time if the cheese hasn’t fully melted. Remove from microwave and let the mixture cool.

   For this step

   • 3½ cups (10 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
3. 3

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

   For this step

   • 1½ cups almond flour
   • 1 teaspoon baking powder
   • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
   • ½ teaspoon salt
   • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, optional
   • ½ teaspoon garlic powder, optional
4. 4

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

   For this step

   • melted cheese
   • 1 egg
   • dry ingredients
5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

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

8. 8

   Add toppings.

9. 9

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