Fathead Pizza Crust (Low Carb, Keto, Gluten-free, Nut-free) – 4 Ingredients

Fathead Pizza Crust (Low Carb, Keto, Gluten-free, Nut-free) - 4 Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese ((shredded))
• 2 tbsp cream cheese ((shredded))
• 2 large eggs ((shredded))
• 1/3 cup coconut flour

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
3. Combine the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a large bowl.
4. Microwave for 90 seconds, stirring halfway through.
5. Stir again at the end until well incorporated.
6. (**See notes for alternative to the microwave.) Stir in the beaten eggs and coconut flour.
7. Knead with your hands until a dough forms.
8. If the dough becomes hard before fully mixed, you can microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it.
9. 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).
10. Use a toothpick or fork to poke lots of holes throughout the crust to prevent bubbling.
11. Bake for 6 minutes.
12. Poke more holes in any places where you see bubbles forming.
13. Bake for 3-7 more minutes, until golden brown.
14. 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.
15. If you don't want to use the microwave, use a double boiler to melt the cheese and cream cheese together instead.
16. Boil water in a saucepan, then place the cheeses in a metal bowl resting over the edges of the saucepan.
17. The idea is to melt the cheese without burning it, stirring frequently.
