Ingredients
Scale
Cheeses
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt until well distributed.
- Add Eggs and Form Dough: Crack in the eggs and stir the mixture thoroughly until it comes together into a cohesive dough, ensuring even texture.
- Shape the Crust: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten it evenly to a thickness of about 1/4 inch for an ideal crust base.
- Bake the Crust: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and is firm to the touch.
- Add Toppings and Finish Baking: Remove the crust from the oven, add your preferred low-carb toppings, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes to melt the toppings and complete cooking.
- Slice and Serve: Once baked, slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm for the best taste and texture.

- This crust is naturally gluten-free and low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for keto and low-carb diets.
