Cheese Crust Pizza
With just 4 ingredients and a few spices, your pizza is ready. The entire base has 24 net carbs, 1 slice has 3 net carbs!
Ingredients
- 170 g grated cheddar matured or fresh
- 85 g almond flour
- 2 tbsp labneh or cream cheese
- 1 egg or egg white optional
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Grate 170g of hard cheddar cheese. I used a mixture of matured and fresh cheddar.
- Add 85g almond flour and spices and mix. Cook in the microwave on the highest setting (mine is 800) for about 1 minute.
- Mix the melted cheese taken out of the microwave thoroughly and put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds.
- Then add the spices and an egg or egg white (It’s ok if you don’t use eggs at all). Mix quickly.
- Roll out the dough by hand onto the tray to the desired thickness. Be sure to use parchment paper or silpat.
- Pre-bake the pizza base. Bake in the oven at 200℃ or 390° F until golden brown.
- You can put pizza sauce and other ingredients on the cooked base.
Notes
Note: If you don't have a microwave, you can still try this recipe. Just make sure you put eggs into the mixture and try to spread it evenly on the tray. Even if your mixture is not homogeneous, when it is cooked, the cheddar melts and gathers and holds the dough.
