Keto Pizza is one of my guilty pleasures.
Even though it isn’t unhealthy or high carb – it feels like I’m cheating somehow.
Every time I have it, I feel guilty and proud at the same time.
I’m getting closer to my goals while enjoying something so contradictory to weight loss and health!

Maybe I’m just rambling and you have no idea what I’m talking about, haha!

I really love to make keto pizza because it’s something that the whole family will enjoy.
Almost everyone loves pizza and even though I’m not claiming it tastes exactly like “real pizza” – it does taste good!
Especially, when it’s fresh out of the oven and you can enjoy it with a cold glass of diet coke.

It’s also a great way to meal prep for the week as well!

Unfortunately, it’s not a paleo-friendly recipe because the pizza contains a significant amount of cheese and I don’t think you can substitute it with a paleo-friendly alternative.
You can find paleo-friendly recipes here!

finely ground almond flour

shredded mozzarella cheese

full fat cream cheese

an egg

seasonings: salt, pepper, italian seasoning

FOR THE KETO PIZZA TOPPING:
(Optional)

tomato sauce: try to find a tomato sauce that doesn’t contain any added sugar. The one I used had approx. 5g carbs/100g (approx. 1/2 cup).
If you can’t find a tomato sauce that’s low in carbs, you can also try to mix your own tomato sauce: Mix 2 tbsp of tomato puree and 2 tbsp tomato paste – season with italian seasoning, salt and pepper.

ham: I added a bit of lean ham to my pizza

salami (pepperoni): as well as some high-quality salami (pepperoni)

pepperoncini: I LOVE pepperoncini on pizza!

champignons

more shredded mozzarella cheese

HOW TO MAKE THIS KETO PIZZA:

1. Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese:
In a large bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese.
You can either use a microwave, oven or double boiler to do this:

If you use a microwave: Microwave the bowl with the mozzarella and cream cheese for approx. 1-2 minutes. (the time may vary heavily depending on the microwave and what settings you’re using – start with a shorter amount of time and pop it back in if it hasn’t melted yet. Avoid overcooking, we don’t want the cheese to brown.)
You should aim for a smooth & pale mass.

If you use your oven:
I actually used my oven before and it worked fine as well, it just takes a bit longer and you have to keep an eye on your cheese so it doesn’t start to brown.
Set your oven to about 250°F/120°C and stir the cheese every few minutes. It can take up to 20 minutes for the cheese to melt completely.
You can set the temperature higher if you don’t want to wait that long but make sure to watch it closely if you do.

If you use a double boiler: Set up your double boiler and stir the mozzarella cheese while it’s melting.
It takes a while for the mozzarella cheese to melt completely, approx. 5-10 minutes.

2. Mix the Keto Pizza dough:
Add the flour, egg, and seasoning to the melted mozzarella cheese and knead the dough with your hands until you get a smooth mass.
(If the cheese is too hot, start mixing with a spoon until it’s cold enough to knead with your hands.)
I’d recommend to add the almond flour in several small portions, not all at once.
Place the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and start to press it into its form.

Form the dough until you get a circular shape that’s approx. 1/4″ thick.

3. Bake your pizza:
Bake the dough without the topping for approx. 7-10 minutes at 350°F/180°C.

Take the pizza dough out of the oven and add the tomato sauce and other toppings of your choice.
Add extra shredded mozzarella cheese on top of everything and pop the pizza back into the oven for another 10 minutes.

4. Serve:
My favorite way to enjoy this keto pizza recipe is with a cold glass of diet coke.
