A quick and easy keto-friendly fathead pizza dough recipe that delivers a crispy, chewy low-carb crust perfect for any pizza toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 170g, part-skim)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (115g, softened)
  • ¾ cup almond flour (75g, finely ground)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing crust edges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up while you prepare the dough.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and softened cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted (about 1-1.5 minutes total).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder (if using), and salt.
  4. Add the dry mixture and the egg to the melted cheese. Stir quickly with a spatula or wooden spoon until it forms a sticky, stretchy dough.
  5. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out evenly into a 10-12 inch (25-30 cm) circle, about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Alternatively, wet your hands and press the dough out gently.
  6. Peel off the top parchment paper, then flip the dough with the bottom parchment onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Remove the top parchment.
  7. Par-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until edges start to turn golden and crust looks set but not fully browned.
  8. Remove from oven, brush crust edges with olive oil or melted butter, then add your favorite low-carb toppings.
  9. Bake again for another 7-10 minutes until toppings are cooked and cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing to help the crust firm up.

Notes

If dough is too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes before rolling. Preheat baking surface for a crispier crust. Brush crust edges with olive oil or butter before final bake for extra crispness. Avoid overloading toppings to prevent sogginess. Let pizza cool 5 minutes before slicing for best texture.
