Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. This mixture forms the base flavor of the crust.
- Add Eggs and Form Dough: Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring the cheese melts slightly and binds the mixture.
- Shape the Crust: Transfer the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten and shape it into a 1/4-inch thick circle or rectangle, depending on your preference, forming the pizza crust.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until it turns golden brown and feels firm to the touch, indicating it is cooked through.
- Add Toppings and Bake Again: Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings. Then bake for an additional 8-10 minutes to melt the toppings and meld the flavors.
- Serve: Slice your pizza crust into pieces and serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, consider baking a few extra minutes during the initial bake.
- Use fresh, high-quality mozzarella for optimal melting and flavor.
- You can customize toppings to fit dietary preferences or restrictions.
- This crust is naturally gluten-free and low in carbohydrates.
- Allow the crust to cool slightly before slicing to avoid breaking.
