Prepare the Keto Fathead Crust
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If you have two sheets of parchment, it makes pressing the dough easier.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway through, until melted and smooth.
- Add almond flour, egg, garlic powder, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix vigorously with a spoon or your hands until a uniform dough forms. It will be sticky at first but should come together.
- Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover with another piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap and roll or press it out evenly into a 10-12 inch circle. Remove the top parchment paper.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Prick any bubbles that form with a fork. Remove from oven.
Assemble and Bake the Pizza
- Spread the low-carb pizza sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle with the remaining 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Evenly distribute the diced ham, finely diced and blotted pineapple, and thinly sliced red onion over the cheese.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is golden brown around the edges.
- Carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing with a pizza cutter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
To ensure the lowest carb count for the pineapple, make sure it is finely diced and thoroughly blotted dry with paper towels to remove excess juice. For an even crispier crust, you can bake the bare crust for 5 minutes longer before adding toppings. This pizza is best enjoyed fresh but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer for best texture.
