Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your dough will cook evenly and achieve a nice golden color.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 large egg. The cheese should be shredded for optimal melting and mixing.
- Microwave the cheese and egg mixture on high for about 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, stir the mixture to combine. Repeat this process in 15-second intervals until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1 to
- 5 minutes total.
- Once the cheese is melted, add 3/4 cup of almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the bowl. Mix everything together until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough slightly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Once the dough is well mixed, place it on a piece of parchment paper. Use another piece of parchment paper on top to prevent sticking, and roll it out with a rolling pin to your desired thickness. Aim for about 1/4 inch thick for a nice texture.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure it’s evenly spread out to ensure uniform cooking.
- Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until it is golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Once baked, remove the dough from the oven and let it cool for a minute. You can now use it as a base for pizzas, breadsticks, or any low-carb dish of your choice.
Tips
- Cheese Melting Mastery: When microwaving the cheese, stir frequently and use short intervals to prevent burning or overheating.
- Dough Consistency is Key: If the dough feels too sticky, lightly dust your hands with almond flour before kneading.
- Rolling Technique: Use parchment paper when rolling to prevent sticking and achieve an even thickness.
- Oven Watching: Keep a close eye on the dough while baking - it can quickly go from golden to burnt due to high cheese content.
- Versatility Hack: This dough works great for pizzas, breadsticks, and even as a wrap base. Get creative with your low-carb creations!
- Storage Tip: Store any unused dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
