Fathead Pizza Crust (Low Carb, Keto, Gluten-free, Nut-free) - 4 Ingredients
Calories 150kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (shredded)
- 2 large eggs (shredded)
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a large bowl.
- Microwave for 90 seconds, stirring halfway through.
- Stir again at the end until well incorporated.
- (**See notes for alternative to the microwave.) Stir in the beaten eggs and coconut flour.
- Knead with your hands until a dough forms.
- If the dough becomes hard before fully mixed, you can microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it.
- Spread the dough onto the lined baking pan to 1/4" or 1/3" thickness, 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 for 6 minutes.
- Poke more holes in any places where you see bubbles forming.
- Bake for 3-7 more minutes, until golden brown.
- Recipe Notes To make keto pizza, top with sauce and toppings after cooking the crust and return to the oven for about 10 minutes, until heated through.
- If you don't want to use the microwave, use a double boiler to melt the cheese and cream cheese together instead.
- Boil water in a saucepan, then place the cheeses in a metal bowl resting over the edges of the saucepan.
- The idea is to melt the cheese without burning it, stirring frequently.
