Crispy pizza - Keto


Crust was a little too cheesy, but faster to make than fathead dough. The other pizza is better.

1 1/2 cups mozzarella, shredded
1/2 cup cheddar, shredded
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons grated parmesan or romano cheese
1 tablespoon flax meal (or 2 tsp coconut flour)
3 tablespoons almond flour
additional parmesan and/or coconut flour for rolling

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, combine almond flour, flax meal, baking powder, and parmesan.
3. In a separate microwave safe bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper. Microwave for 75-90 seconds, or until cheese is melted.
4. Add egg and dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, combining until a cohesive "dough" is formed.
5. Divide dough into desired number of portions (two works well). Dust a clean surface with parmesan and/or coconut flour (I recommend a 3:1 mix of the two). Using a rolling pin or clean glass, roll each portion of dough into a circle.
6. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and let cool for a minute or two.
7. For a crispier crust, raise oven temperate to 450F at this point.
8. Top crust as desired, and bake again until cheese is melted. Let cool for a minute or two before slicing and eating.
