Why You’ll Love This Keto Pizza:
- Only 3g net carbs per serving!
- Easy 5-ingredient crust that comes together in minutes.
- Crispy, cheesy, and totally customizable—add your favorite keto toppings!
- Perfect for meal prep and freezer-friendly.
Ingredients You'll Need:
For the keto pizza crust:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Salt, pepper, and oregano to taste
For the toppings:
- Sugar-free tomato sauce (or crushed tomatoes with garlic and basil)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella (reserved from the crust ingredients)
- Your favorite keto-friendly toppings: pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, basil, feta cheese, etc.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures the crust gets crisp and doesn’t stick.
2. Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth (about 40-50 seconds total).
3. Make the Dough
Add the almond flour, eggs, baking powder, and seasonings to the melted cheese. Stir everything together until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, let it cool slightly before handling.
4. Bake the Crust
Place the dough on a parchment paper. Wet your fingertips slightly to prevent sticking and spread the dough into a circular shape, about ½ cm thick. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
5. Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread the sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle on cheese and your favorite toppings.
6. Bake Again
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 5-7 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Cool & Serve
Let your pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing—it helps the cheese set and prevents a gooey mess. Slice and enjoy!
