Low carb pizza crust, can it be true?! And guess what? It isn't made with stinkin cauliflower! Hooray! All you do is mix all the ingredients and spread out the dough onto a baking sheet.
Not having your house smell like stinky cauliflower, no draining cauliflower to get all the moisture out! Super easy. I'm not a cauliflower fan, so those low carb cauliflower pizza crust recipes don't excite me at all.
I know that's what all the rage is right now, for making a low carb pizza crust. I'd rather have my pizza crust somewhat similar to actual pizza dough and this is really good. Top with your favorite meat, cheese, and vegetable toppings. There is only 5 carbs per slice. Does that convince you to try this now?
Ingredients Needed for Low Carb Pizza Crust
- 1 large Egg (Whole)
- ¼ cup Tap Water
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 ½ cups Blanched Almond Flour
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
How to Make Low Carb Pizza Crust
Step 1 Whisk together the egg, water, and olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 2 Combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, parmesan cheese, and baking powder. Slowly incorporate the first bowl of ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Step 3 Grease two sheets of parchment. Use the parchment paper to help you roll the dough out because it can be a little sticky. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circular shape with a rolling pin. Take the top parchment paper off and lift the bottom parchment paper off onto a sheet pan.
Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp around the edges. Allow to cool about 20 minutes to form a crunchy crust. Top with toppings and place back in the oven or broiler for a few minutes to cook the toppings. Makes 8 slices.
How do I store leftovers?
Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container.

The crust was so dry it was unpleasant.
Jenna says
Thanks, Christine, that's awesome!
Christine Crespy says
My son is watching his carbs and being a pizza devotee was searching for an acceptable replacement, with no luck. I invited him for a pizza lunch to try a new recipe, he was very skeptical but willing. We both loved it, amazing, the absolute best. Thank you for making a fantastic tasty recipe and we have already shared it!
M. says
This was absolutely delicious! It took a little longer for me to make it because it was my first time. Thank you so much! I wish I could attach a picture. I don't have Instagram with which to tag you. Again, thank you! This will definitely be a go to when I want pizza.

Hi Jenna,
Always looking for low carb recipes. Thanks!
Two questions- can the dough be frozen, and is it baked right on the sheet of parchment paper?
April Clagg says
This has got to be the best pizza crust I have ever made! Added garlic paste to the egg mixture and oregano, parmesan to the dry mix. Baked up crisp just the way we love kt!
Jenna says
The parchment paper just makes it easier to roll the dough out.
EJ says
What is the second sheet of greased parchment paper for?
Jenna says
If the pan is oven safe then yes.
Ashley says
Can I cook crust in glass pan ?
