Description
A versatile, chewy, low-carb dough made with mozzarella, cream cheese, and almond flour—perfect for pizza, bagels, rolls, and more on a keto lifestyle.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese
¾ cup almond flour
1 large egg
½ teaspoon baking powder
Optional: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or herbs of choice
Instructions
- Combine mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 45 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Stir in almond flour and baking powder.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then add the egg.
- Knead with a spatula or hands until smooth. Chill for 10–15 minutes if sticky or dust with almond flour.
- Shape the dough as needed (e.g., pizza crust, bagels, breadsticks).
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
Chill dough to reduce stickiness or dust with almond flour.
Can be melted on the stovetop if no microwave is available.
For a nut-free option, substitute almond flour with ⅓ cup coconut flour.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Reheat at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.
