Keto Pizza Dough (3 ways)
Vinny G’s Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons plain cream cheese
1 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch sea salt
1 egg lightly beaten
Cooking spray
Directions:
- Preheat the oven: Set the temperature oven to broil
- Melt the cheese. Stir together the mozzarella and cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir the cheeses and heat them again for 30 seconds to 1 minute until they’re completely melted.
- Add the dry ingredients. Stir in the almond flour, basil, oregano, and salt until everything is well mixed and set it aside to cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Finish the dough. When the mixture has cooled enough that it won’t cook the egg, mix in the egg until it’s well blended, then gather the dough into a ball.
- Roll the dough. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and spray it lightly with olive oil. Place the dough on the sheet in the center and press it down with your fingers to form a disc until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
- Broil the dough until it is golden and firm; about four minutes.
