This easy crispy keto Fathead pizza dough recipe delivers a low-carb, gluten-free crust that’s crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, perfect for keto and paleo diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (whole milk mozzarella works best)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup almond flour (96 g), finely ground
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over low heat in a saucepan while stirring.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
  4. Pour the slightly cooled melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and stir quickly with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness, or press out with your hands for a rustic look.
  6. Transfer the dough on parchment paper to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Brush the top lightly with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Remove from oven and add your favorite low-carb sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  9. Return pizza to oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until cheese is bubbly and melted.
  10. Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing to allow the crust to set.

Notes

Use freshly shredded mozzarella for better melting and texture. Wet hands with cold water to handle sticky dough without adding flour. Brush olive oil before baking for a golden, crispy crust. Let dough rest 10 minutes before baking for better texture. For extra crispiness, broil 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
