  5.0 – 5 reviews  

Make sure to allow enough time for the chicken breasts to marinate in the yogurt-based curry sauce.

Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 6 slices

Ingredients

  1. 2 teaspoons yeast
  2. 2 tablespoons warm water
  3. 1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  4. 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  5. 1 cup blanched almond flour
  6. 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  7. ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
  3. Place mozzarella cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until cheese is completely melted. Stir in yeast mixture and egg and stir to combine; mixture will not incorporate well at this point.
  4. Stir in almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. If mixture is difficult to mix, reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften the cheese. Stir again until well incorporated. Using your hands, knead the dough for 2 minutes.
  5. Place dough on baking sheet and press with your fingers into a thin crust, approximately 11-12 inches in diameter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, top with your favorite pizza toppings, and return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Wow. All I can say is I have made many fat head dough crusts and NONE were this easy to roll out. I made it exactly as directed. Experimenting to put on the top of my pot pie. Will try to update to let you know how it was. I’m certain it would make a wonderful pizza crust. Smells delicious and I tasted it raw and it tasted like crust not cheese. That is a winner in my opinion!!

Best keto pizza crust! The added yeast really helps give it a bread crust type flavor. Going to use this one from now on.

Made slider buns & bagels with this recipe. Followed recipe exactly & baked with same temperature as stated for 10-12 minutes. True that it smells like regular bread when baking. It taste almost like bread but it taste better than all the Keto breads I’ve made so far. Winner recipe!! Thank you!!

I made this as written but haven’t used it as pizza crust yet. It was good hot out of the oven (I used the toaster oven) and the next day, I fried a round up in some butter…toasts up nicely. The yeast gives it that bread flavor that is lacking in other keto bread recipes and even smelled like fresh baked bread while baking. The dough is a bit sticky when kneading, but a little oil on the hands solved that problem. Will make again.
