Ingredients
Crust
| 1 Lb Mild or Hot Ground Italian Sausage |
| 2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning |
| 1 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper |
| 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder |
| 1/4 Cup Mozzarella Cheese |
| 1/8 Cup Parmesan Cheese |
Toppings
| 1/2 Cup RAO's Marinara Sauce |
| 16 Slices Pepperoni |
| 3/4 Cup Mozzarella Cheese |
Keto Sausage Crust Pizza Recipe Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Take a baking sheet or pizza stone and place a sheet of parchment paper on it. This will prevent the sausage crust from sticking to the pan.
- Transfer the sausage mixture onto the parchment paper and spread it out evenly to create a round pizza crust of your desired thickness. You can make it as thin or thick as you prefer.
- Bake the sausage crust in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until it becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Once the crust is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, increase the oven temperature to broil.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Add your favorite toppings, such as pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions. Be creative and customize your pizza to your liking!
- Add a layer of mozzarella cheese.
- Return the pizza to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before cutting into slices. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Additional Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of your keto sausage crust pizza, consider adding some additional spices or herbs to the crust mixture, like garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes or dried basil.
- If you prefer a more crispy crust, you can broil the sausage crust for a couple of minutes before adding the toppings.
- Don't forget to check the nutritional information of the sausage you use, as the carb content may vary depending on the brand.
- Experiment with different low-carb sauces and keto-friendly toppings to create your own unique pizza combinations. The possibilities are endless!
