Low Carb Stuffed Crust Sheet Pan Pizza
Choose this Keto pizza recipe the next time you want to share the fun with your kids or a group of people! Hand-pressing fresh pizza dough into a sheet pan is easy work anybody can do. It’s even more fun choosing your favorite pizza toppings to arrange on the pizza. Mozzarella cheese sticks (known as “string cheese”) is used for the stuffed crust. Make sure to purchase string cheese made with 100% real cheese or else it won’t melt in the oven. If this pizza becomes a little messy to make, don’t worry. Sheet pan pizzas are meant to be rustic and have the “homemade” look to them. It’s all about taste here!

I Don’t Have String Cheese Where I Live
If you’re outside the U.S., you may not have “string cheese” at your grocery store. Using fresh mozzarella works well for stuffed crust pizza as well. Choose a mozzarella cheese that comes in the form of a log (not mozzarella pearls or balls) and cut it into long strips to mimic the shape of string cheese. Other cheeses that you can stuff your Keto pizza crust with are provolone, gouda, or pepper jack cheese. Buy your preferred flavor as a block and slice thick, long rectangles to substitute for string cheese. If there is another cheese flavor you like to use on your pizzas, comment below!
What To Pair With My Keto Pizza

Recipe Steps
steps 4
4 h 55 min
Step 1
At least 4 hours before you want to bake your pizza, make the Fathead Dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and baking powder. Whisk an egg together and pour it into the almond flour. Set the bowl aside. In a pot over low heat, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together until you have a smooth, creamy, melted cheese.Step 2
Let the melted cheese cool for 30 seconds off the stove. Then, mix the melted cheese into the almond flour bowl. Mix and knead the wet dough until all the yellow and white streaks are gone. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and cool in your refrigerator for at least 4 hours before continuing.Step 3
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and transfer the chilled dough onto the tray. Place either plastic wrap or parchment paper on top of the dough and use your hands to press the dough into a rectangle. Gently press from the center to the edges, being careful not to create holes. When the dough is pressed out, place a whole piece of string cheese on each side (4 total), leaving about 2 inches of dough from the edges. Wrap that excess dough over the string cheese and seal the dough in place with your fingers.Step 4
Spread the marinara sauce across the exposed dough. Arrange thin-sliced mushrooms and peppers, giardiniera, garlic, chopped basil, and shredded mozzarella over the pizza. Whisk together another egg and brush about half the egg over the crust of the pizza. Bake for 30-35 minutes and slice into 4 squares for serving.

Can you make the Dough the night before?

Absolutely! Just keep wrapped in your refrigerator. You can even wrap individual portions and freeze for later use!
