What makes this recipe a favorite

It’s a Crowd-Pleaser
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve served this pizza to my non-keto friends. Without fail, they always go back for seconds!
No Yeast, No Hassle
The lack of yeast cuts down the preparation time in half, making this pizza even quicker to whip up!

Ingredients List of Keto Pizza Recipe

Sub Almond Meal: ensure that the almond flour is blanched, otherwise, you will end up with a sandy texture and could easily burn.
Low-Moisture Mozzarella Cheese: It will make your crust chewy and fluffier
Cream Cheese: I always use stick or block cream cheese, not spreadable. Otherwise, your crust will be soggy. More liquid found in tub cream cheese
Eggs: These eggs should sit out at room temperature.
Olive Oil: For brushing around the crust of the pizza.
Pizza Sauce: While nearly all store-bought versions are sugar-free, you can use my keto pizza sauce – a very easy, delicious alternative.
Toppings of Choice: Add your favorite pizza toppings and additional mozzarella cheese for the perfect finish.

Instructions for Keto Pizza Recipe

Step 1: Prep
Heat oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease your pizza pan or baking sheet.

Step 2: Mix Dough
Mix in large bowl the almond flour. In a microwave-safe dish, melt mozzarella and cream cheese in 20-second bursts till smooth. Fold well, and then combine with the almond flour. Add eggs and knead till you get sticky cohesive dough.

Step 3: Prepare Base
Place a sheet of parchment paper on your counter, put the dough on it, and then cover with another sheet of parchment. Using a rolling pin, roll it out to about ½ inch. Remove the top parchment and shape the dough into a pizza shape.

Step 4: Pre-Bake for Perfection
Place your dough into your pizza pan, then bake for 12 minutes in order to set the base.

Step 5: Top and Finish
Get the crust out of the oven, add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings. Brush the edges with some olive oil. Return it back to the oven for another 10-12 minutes or when the crust is golden in color and has nice bubbles formed on the cheese.

Helpful Cooking Hints

Let the Cheese Cool: Have it cool a little before you get it melted. Adding eggs to hot cheese ends up cooking them before you’ve added them all, so they end up scrambled and separate from the rest of the mixture.

Cheese Bullet: Add flavour to your keto pizza crust by including aromatic seasonings like garlic powder, or dried oregano, adding taste to your dough.

Avoid crust sticking to pan: Spray a little oil to your pizza pan so that your crust won’t stick to the pan once it’s done baking. Do this so you don’t have a frustrating experience where the crust sticks onto the pan.

Don’t forget to pre-bake: Well, pre-baking has been by far, the most imperative stage of the process. Never skip this. You will have raw, undercooked crust-both in texture and flavor if you skip this process most of the times.

Storage Guidelines

Storing Leftovers: Store your leftover pizza in a lid-sealable bag, covering and refrigerating it. It will last for up to one week.

How to Reheat Your Pizza: Enjoy your pizza once more, using the following methods.

Microwave: Reheat slices 30 seconds.
Oven: Warm at 180°C (350°F) for a crispier crust.
Stovetop: In a non-stick pan, toast with that nice crunch.
