Low carb pizza that satisfies cravings: easy, crispy, guilt-free recipes

Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking tray or pizza pan with parchment paper.

Make the dough: In a bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg, olive oil, and shredded mozzarella if you use it. Stir until a soft dough takes shape. If the dough sticks too much, add 1–2 tbsp more almond flour.

Shape the crust: Place the dough on the parchment. Cover it with another sheet of parchment and roll or press it into a 10–12 inch circle. Remove the top parchment.

Pre-bake the crust: Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let the edges firm and see light color. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 3–5 minutes.

Add toppings: Spread a thin layer of sauce on the crust. Add the mozzarella, veggies, olives, and parmesan. Sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.

Final bake: Return to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes. The cheese should melt and bubble, and the crust edges should turn golden.

Serve: Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes. Cut into 6–8 slices and enjoy.

1 ½ cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp cream cheese

¾ cup almond flour

1 large egg

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp Italian seasoning

A pinch of salt

½ cup low carb pizza sauce

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella

½ cup sliced pepperoni

½ cup cooked Italian sausage, crumbled

¼ cup sliced black olives

¼ cup diced green pepper

2 tbsp grated parmesan

Preheat: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment.

Melt the cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Do this until the cheese is fully melted and smooth (about 1–2 minutes).

Form the dough: Quickly stir in the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and the egg. Mix well while the cheese is still warm. You may need to knead the dough by hand to fully combine.

Shape the crust: Place the dough on the parchment. Press it into a 10–12 inch circle, leaving the edges a bit thicker. Use a fork to poke a few holes to stop large bubbles.

Pre-bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes until the crust turns a light golden color and firms up.

Top the pizza: Spread a thin, even layer of sauce. Add mozzarella, meats, veggies, and sprinkle the parmesan.

Final bake: Return the pizza to the oven for 8–10 minutes. Let the cheese brown slightly and bubble.

Rest and slice: Allow the pizza to stand for 5–10 minutes before cutting. This helps the crust to set.
