FAQs for Low Carb Pizza Crust Recipe with Almond Flour
Easy! Add your sauce, cheese, and toppings, and then bake it at 375° F for 8-10 minutes. That’s it!
You can always grab a sugar free version of a red sauce for your keto pizza. But my two personal favorites are 1. Spinach Pesto and 2. A balsamic and olive oil blend (you can try it out on this Prosciutto Arugula Pizza!). Another option is to find a recipe for keto red sauce.

Pizza Crust Low Carb
Need to make your pizza crust low carb? This almond flour version is the best lo carb pizza crust out there!
Ingredients
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg
- Pinch of pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Butter a 10" pizza pan.
- Add the mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave safe medium bowl.
- Microwave the cheeses for 60 seconds. Remove and stir with a fork. Return to microwave and cook for 30 second intervals as many times as needed until cheese is melted and stretchy.
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Knead into the cheese until all ingredients are incorporated (be careful, it may be hot!).
- Knead the egg into the dough, using wet hands if it's sticky. This should take about 3 minutes to get the egg completely kneaded into the dough.
- Place a large piece of parchment paper on a flat surface. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough.
- Roll the dough out 1/4" thick between the parchment papers till it's the shape and size of your pan.
- To put the flattened dough on your pan, peel off the top parchment paper. Place the pan upside down on the dough. Place one hand on top of the bottom of the pan and one hand underneath the parchment paper. In one swift movement, flip the dough and pan so that the dough is on the pan. Gently peel the paper off the dough.
- Bake at 375° F for 8-10 minutes until the dough is slightly golden.
Notes
When you're finished with the dough, you can go ahead and place whatever sauce and toppings you like on the dough and then bake again at 375° F for 8-10 minutes.

Fantastic pizza crust!! Also used plain as a bread substitute. Thank you!
Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing. I’m glad you enjoyed the crust, Andy!
Hi.
Could you freeze these
Yes! I freeze them all the time. Just bake the crust without the toppings, allow it to cool completely, and then put in a sealed container. Then you can just pull one out, put sauce and toppings on, and bake as normal. This Goat Cheese Pizza with Prosciutto and Arugula has been a favorite of mine, if you need topping suggestions!
Tried this today – and it was FANTASTIC as a breakfast pizza with keto sausage gravy – sublime.
Oh I’m so glad! The sausage was a great idea and to have it for breakfast. Thanks for sharing what you did.
