Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almond flour
Other
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Melt Cheese: Place the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth, which should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes in total.
- Combine Dough Ingredients: Stir the almond flour into the melted cheese mixture until well combined. Add the egg and mix thoroughly until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and knead lightly until smooth. If the dough becomes too stiff while kneading, microwave it for an additional 10 to 15 seconds to soften it.
- Use or Roll Out Dough: Use the dough immediately for your desired recipe such as pizza crust, breadsticks, bagels, or rolls. Alternatively, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to your desired thickness before baking or cooking.
Notes
- If the dough sticks to your hands, lightly grease them or dust with a bit of almond flour.
- For a firmer crust, prebake the dough at 400°F (204°C) for 8 to 10 minutes before adding toppings.
- This dough works best when used warm for easier shaping and better texture.
