Low Carb Keto Friendly Pizza

  A delicious and guilt-free option


If you're following a ketogenic (keto) diet, you're likely familiar with the challenge of finding alternatives to high-carb foods, especially when it comes to pizza. Traditional pizza is usually high in carbs because of the wheat-based crust, but with a few changes, you can still enjoy pizza without breaking your keto diet. In this article, we'll explore how to make a delicious low-carb, keto-friendly pizza that satisfies your cravings and keeps you in ketosis.

**Why Choose Keto Friendly Pizza?**

Standard dough pizza crusts are loaded with carbohydrates, which can disrupt this metabolic state. However, by using low-carb ingredients, you can indulge in pizza while following a keto lifestyle. The key to keto pizza is a crust made with alternative ingredients that are low in carbs and high in healthy fats.

1. Prepare the crust

- For the **Cauliflower Crust**, blend the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like texture. Microwave and squeeze out excess moisture before mixing with eggs, cheese and spices. Form the dough into a crust and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes.

- If using **almond flour or fat flour**, mix ingredients until smooth, press into pizza shape, and bake until firm, about 10 minutes.

- For the **Chicken Crust**, blend the ground chicken with the egg and cheese, press into the pizza pan, and bake until the crust is firm and slightly golden.

2. Add sauces and toppings**

Once the crust is partially baked, spread your low-sugar marinara or olive oil sauce, then add your choice of cheese, meat, and vegetables.
