Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • – 2 large eggs
  • – 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • – 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • – 3 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • – 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • – 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • – 1/4 cup keto-friendly pizza sauce
  • – 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • – 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
  • – 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • – 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Making keto-friendly pizza might sound complicated, but it’s easier than preparing a traditional one. The process is straightforward and quite fun. Grab your ingredients, and let’s get started!

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

  • Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Preheating is crucial to achieve a crispy crust.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  • In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and cream cheese. Mix well until you have a smooth consistency.

Step 3: Add Cheese and Flour

  • To the egg mixture, stir in the mozzarella cheese and almond flour. Sprinkle in the garlic powder for that extra kick. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined. Your dough should be sticky but manageable.

Step 4: Shape the Crust

  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, use your hands to press the dough into a pizza shape. Aim for about a 1/4-inch thickness for the best results.

Step 5: Bake the Crust

  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until it’s golden and slightly firm. This step ensures you get a great base for all your toppings.

Step 6: Add Toppings

  • Take the crust out of the oven. Spread the keto-friendly pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Now, toss on your shredded mozzarella, mushrooms, bell peppers, and sprinkle the Italian seasoning on top.

Step 7: Final Bake

  • Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8: Slice and Serve

  • Once the cheese has that appealing stretch, take the pizza out and let it rest for a minute before slicing.

Notes

  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to try different cheeses for unique flavors.
  • Add Cooking Time if Needed: Depending on your oven, you might need to adjust the cooking times slightly.
  • Use Fresh Toppings: Fresh vegetables really elevate taste and texture.
  • Let Dough Rest: If the dough feels too sticky, let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Monitor Brownness: Keep an eye on your pizza to avoid over-baking.
