Pizza Pizza Pizza

I've made many pizza crusts before, and up until now my favorite has been the Broccoli Crust Pizza. However, after a few years of hearing about Fathead pizza crust, I finally made one after a friend shared a recipe she'd tried from the book, 21-Day Ketogenic Diet Weight Loss Challenge.

It's basically the same recipe found all over the internet, but it was THE one that made me decide to try it.

Now I will say that it's definitely more calories than the broccoli crust one I've made before; however, THIS IS THE BEST and so much like a regular grain pizza crust that most people would have no idea that it's not!

It was so good that I made it over the weekend...and the next weekend...and the next week.

NOTE: You can make this as deep dish by putting it in a casserole dish or press it out on a pan to make a thin crust (or in between depending on your preference.)

This is the recipe that I used for the crust from the book. I've not tried, but it says you can even make ahead and freeze for later.

CRUST RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups (about 6 oz) of shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 T cream cheese
3/4 cup almond flour
1 egg
Seasonings of choice (I use garlic powder, Himalayan salt, black pepper, paprika, and basil)

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the cheeses together in a microwave bowl for about 30-45 seconds or until melted, and stir.
In another bowl, mix together almond flour and seasonings.
Add the almond flour mixture to the melted cheeses and add the egg. Mix together with a spatula and then, using your hands, knead it until the dough comes together. Spread it on a greased (or nonstick spray such as avocado oil spray) dish until the thickness you desire.
Bake at 425º for 12-15 mins or until it appears lightly golden and done.
Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes before adding your toppings.

TOPPINGS

Use whatever toppings you desire. I used about 2 oz of mozzarella cheese, slices of onions, chopped sweet bell peppers, ground turkey or beef, and sliced green olives.
