20 minutes
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.
