Ingredients
Low Carb-Keto Crust
- 1 1/2 cups (170 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) cream cheese , pinched or cut into small cubes
- 2 large eggs , beaten
- 1/4 cup (30 g) almond flour or coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) fresh cracked black pepper
Toppings:
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) pizza sauce , sugar-free bbq sauce, or alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup (57 g) cheese (shredded mozzarella, blue cheese, feta or parmesan)
Optional Toppings
- thinly sliced mushrooms , tomatoes, onion, veggies or spinach
- pepperoni , pre-cooked bacon bits or pre-cooked crumbled sausage
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese pieces. Microwave for about 30-45 seconds, stir and microwave for about another 30 seconds or until everything is incorporated.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients (beaten eggs, almond or coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) and stir until well combined. If needed, oil your hands lighlty and slightly knead the mixture until a dough forms. If it’s too hard, microwave for a few seconds to make it softer.
- Lay the dough on the prepared parchment paper and flatten it out with a rolling pin or your hands. Roll the dough to about 1/4-inch (6mm) thick. Use a fork to poke holes throughout the dough.
- Bake for about 8 minutes and poke the bubbles that may form. Continue baking for additional 10-14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes then add your favorite toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for additional 7- 10 minutes or until cheese melts and toppings are cooked.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
