Keto Pizza Crust

Keto Pizza Crust

This is my version of Fathead Keto Pizza Crust.  It’s a Low Carb and Nut, Gluten Free Pizza Crust that’s made with Mozzarella Cheese, Cream Cheese, Egg, Crushed Pork Rinds and and a little bit of Coconut Flour.  I like to use crushed pork rinds instead of almond flour because it has less calories and  is a lot cheaper. I also really like the way it tastes. If you don’t eat pork or just don’t like pork rinds, you can easily substitute it for almond or coconut flour.

You’re going to love how easy this recipe is. All you have to do is melt the shredded mozzarella and the cream cheese in a small frying pan over medium heat. Then, remove from the heat and stir the cheeses until well combined. In a mixing bowl, add the crushed pork rinds, coconut flour and egg to the cheese mixture, then mix until well combined.

Next, line a pizza pan with parchment paper. Place the ball of dough in the centre of the pan, then cover the ball with another piece of parchment paper. Press the dough out until it’s even on all sides. Remove the top piece of parchment paper then poke the crust with a fork all over. Bake the crust for 7-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. Remove Crust from the oven, then cover with pizza sauce, cheese and toppings of your choice. Turn your oven to broil, then bake the pizza for another 5-10 minutes or until the top is browned.

This Gluten Free & Keto Pizza Crust is a Delicious Thin Crust Pizza that’s so Good you’d Never even Know it’s Low Carb. It’s my 10 year olds Absolute Favourite kind of Crust which is Perfect because I’ve been making it at least once a week. I love that it’s so much easier than my Rice Flour Pizza Crust. You can whip up a pizza in minutes without having to wait for anything to rise. The dough is so versatile and easy to make it has me wondering what else I could make with it.

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

This recipe makes 1 Keto Pizza Crust.

Nutritional Info – 1 Keto Pizza Crust = 3 Servings | Each Serving (For Crust Only) = 374 Cal, 28.3 g of Fat, 5.1 g of Carbs, 1.7 g of Fibre and 1.5 g of Sugar. 

Below is the sauce that I use. It has 5 g of Sugar and 2 g of Fibre in a 1/2 Cup Serving. I found a half cup was enough for the whole pizza, which we split into 3. It’s more expensive but goes a long way. This sauce had the least amount of sugar of all the sauces in my supermarket. If it’s still to much sugar for you, than you could try using an Alfredo Sauce or Garlic Butter as a Base instead.
