About the Recipe
Ingredients
KETO PIZZA WITH ALMOND FLOUR:
1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
2 tbsp Cream cheese (cut into cubes)
1 large Egg (beaten)
KETO PIZZA WITH COCONUT FLOUR
1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
2 tbsp Cream cheese (cut into cubes)
2 large Eggs (whisked)
1/3 cup Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, for optimal results, preheat a pizza stone in the oven and line a pizza peel with parchment paper for preparing the keto pizza crust.
Mix flour and eggs: In a large bowl or using a food processor, combine the egg(s) with either almond flour or coconut flour, depending on the version you’re making. A food processor will yield a fluffier crust and is easier, but it’s also fine to mix by hand if you prefer.
Melt the cheeses: In a medium bowl, blend the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese. Microwave the mixture for 90 seconds, stirring halfway through. Stir again at the end until well incorporated. If you’d rather not use the microwave, melt the cheeses in a double boiler on the stove.
Combine: Add the melted cheeses to the flour mixture. Process in the food processor or knead with your hands (depending on the method you’re using) until a uniform dough forms, with no streaks. If the cheese hardens before fully mixing into the flour, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds to soften it.
Form the crust: Spread the dough onto the lined baking pan or pizza peel to a thickness of 1/4" or 1/3", using your hands or a rolling pin over a piece of parchment (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. Continue baking for 3-7 more minutes, until lightly golden. Be careful not to let the crust get too dark at this step, as the edges will burn during the final pizza cooking.
To make keto pizza: Pre-bake the crust as instructed above. Top with sauce and toppings, then return to the oven—either directly on the pizza stone or directly on the oven rack (without parchment paper)—for about 10 minutes.
Enjoy your homemade keto pizza!
