Dough Ingredients

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese This is the star ingredient that gives the crust its cheesy goodness.
3 oz cream cheese Cream cheese adds richness and helps bind the dough together.
1 large egg The egg acts as a binding agent, ensuring the crust holds its shape.
1.5 cups almond flour A low-carb alternative to regular flour, almond flour provides a nutty flavor and a great texture.
1 tsp baking powder This helps the crust rise slightly, giving it a light and airy feel.
0.5 tsp garlic powder Garlic powder adds a savory depth to the flavor of the crust.
0.5 tsp onion powder Onion powder enhances the overall taste.
0.5 tsp salt Salt is essential for balancing flavors and enhancing the taste of the crust.
0.25 tsp black pepper A pinch of black pepper adds a subtle kick to the crust.

Gather all your ingredients to make the process smoother.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until fully melted.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg, mixing until a dough forms.
Place the dough on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten into a circle or rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Add your favorite toppings and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until toppings are cooked to your liking.
