Low Carb Pizza

It has taken us about a year, but we’ve finally mastered a low carb pizza recipe that has a crust, tastes delicious, and isn’t a cheat on our diet!

Pizza is one of Sean’s favorite foods, so naturally when we started eating keto, that was one of the most difficult foods to give up. We’ve created recipes throughout this year that incorporate some of our favorite parts of pizza, but wasn’t exactly pizza.
This recipe changes everything.
The low carb crust that we created for this pizza is the game changer. With the use of almond flour and cream cheese along with a few other simple ingredients and a few easy instructions, you will have the perfect pie with which to build any type of pizza your heart desires. The crust is buttery and flavorful when done right and we can’t wait to try this recipe with a stuffed crust.

Ingredients

  • 1/2
    cup
    almond flour
  • 1/4
    cup
    coconut flour
  • 2
    cups
    mozzarella cheese
    shredded, from a bag
  • 2
    tbsp
    whipped cream cheese
  • pizza sauce
    jarred, optional
  • 1/2
    cup
    ground italian sausage (cooked)
    optional
  • fresh mozzerella
    for topping
  • 2
    tsp
    garlic powder
  • 2
    tsp
    parsley
  • 1
    tbsp
    olive oil
  • 1
    tsp
    vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.

  2. Begin by melting the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a double boiler. If you do not have a double boiler, you can use the microwave. Just keep a close eye on it!

  3. Take the cheese off the double boiler and begin slowly adding in the flour. 

  4. Add in the vegetable oil and half of the garlic powder/parsley. Add in a pinch of salt.

  5. Mix well. It should now be a dough. 

  6. On parchment paper, sprinkle some coconut flour to keep the dough from sticking.

  7. Begin flattening out the dough, adding a little coconut flour to the top of it if it’s sticking to your hands.

  8. Cut your flattened dough into a circle. 

  9. Use the extra dough that you just cut to form a crust. I usually roll it into three inch long coils and attach it to the dough.

  10. Brush your dough with olive oil.

  11. Add remaining garlic powder and parsley. 

  12. Bake for 6 minutes.

  13. Add pizza toppings. Sauce first, then cheese, then toppings.

  14. Cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the bottom is nice and brown.

  15. Cut and enjoy!
