Ingredients

For Pizza Dough

1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese softened
1 large egg room temperature
¾ cup fine almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder

For Pizza

Low carb pizza sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni slices
Sliced green peppers
Sliced mushrooms
...Or your favorite pizza toppings!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds.
Remove and mix with a fork until mostly combined. Microwave for another 30 seconds, then mix again.
Add egg, almond flour, baking powder, and seasonings to the melted mixture.
Mix all the ingredients together until they combine and are cool to the touch.
Knead the dough by hand, then place on a piece of parchment paper.
Top with a second piece, then use a rolling pin to form into a 12- to 16-inch round pizza crust. Remove the parchment carefully, then transfer to a parchment-lined pizza stone or pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 425 degrees. Remove from the oven and brush with olive oil.
Add pizza sauce, shredded cheese then your desired toppings. Bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm.

Notes

To avoid fathead dough sticking to your hands or to your tools, keep a little bit of oil near by to coat your fingers or fork as your mixing.
Use this dough with your favorite sauces and toppings to create your own gourmet pizza.
If your dough is hard to work with, heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds and knead by hand to soften.
Keto pizza dough works really well as a make ahead meal builder. The best thing to do is to par-bake the pizza crusts and freeze them. Double or triple this recipe so you have a few frozen crusts to use when needed.
