Keto Pizza ~ Sausage & Pepperoni on Fathead Crust Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
- Add the shredded cheese and cream cheese to a microwavable bowl and microwave for about 50 seconds or until the cheese is melted but NOT starting to brown/cook.
- Use a plastic spoon and mix the cheeses. The cheese should be able to form a ball
- Add almond flour, and egg & continue mixing with the spoon until the egg is absorbed & dough ball is fully formed.
- Put a piece of parchment paper over a pizza tin and put the "dough" ball in the middle
- Separate the dough ball into 2 equal pieces
- Using a second piece of parchment paper on top, gently press down on each ball forming a rectangle that is about 1/4" thick
- Place the crust in the oven for 8 minutes or until it gets golden brown in some areas on the top.
- Take the pizza crust out of the oven, flip each flat bread, and put it back in the oven for about 5 minutes (or until it's browning)
- Take the pizza crust out of the oven and let rest for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Top with ingredients
- RAO's Marinara Sauce (1/2 Cup for each flatbread)
- light sprinkle of mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni (8 slices)
- sausage (1/2 sausage link)
- gardinara (1 TBSP each flatbread)
- remaining mozzarella cheese
- Place the pizza back into the oven until the cheese is completely melted and starts to bubble or brown (about 10-15 minutes)
- Remove from oven and let rest for 6-8 minutes to finish firming up.
- Cut pizza and enjoy
Notes
- Waiting 5 minutes before adding toppings and 5 minutes before cutting is very important so that the dough gets firm like a flour-based crust.
- The serving size for this recipe is defaulted to 1/4 of the pizza. If you want an even crispier crust, separate the dough into 2 equal pieces and make flatbreads as pictured above.
- Add whatever HH Way of Life keto-approved toppings you like, but make sure you are accounting for the carb count of the ingredients when you are tracking your intake
- The recipe yeilds one 12" keto pizza's (1/4 pizza = 1 serving) OR
2 keto flatbreads (1 flat bread = 2 servings).
If you like a crispier crust, go with the flat bread version!! - If you want, you can use RAO's marinara sauce as long as you account for the carbs
