Even when a family is eating keto, sometimes they still want pizza. Most of the time, this calls for “Fathead” dough but I decided to go with a simple recipe with just 5 ingredients.Ingredients:
Pizza Crusts
-
- 2 cups Super-Fine Natural Almond Flour
- 2 cups Almond Flour/Meal*(I now just use all 4 Cups of fine flour and no meal or 2 cups of almond flour and 2 cups finely processed pork rinds)*
-
- 4 tbsp Ghee
-
- 5 large Eggs
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- Approximately 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Pizza Sauce
- 15 oz. can Organic Tomato Sauce
- 8 oz. can Organic Tomato Paste
- 2 cloves garlic mashed with Sea Salt
- Italian Seasoning to taste
- Rosemary to taste (I grind mine fresh with a mortar and pestle but you can use whatever type you like)
- Pizza Toppings
- Shredded Mozzarella
- Pepperoni
- Italian Sausage (Browned)
- Green Olives
- Jalapenos
(* I now use 4 Cups of the Fine Flour and no Meal or fine flour and pork rinds *)
Method:
- Pizza Crusts
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
- Mix almond flour and almond flour/meal in a large bowl (If using 2 types)
- Mix salt, ghee, 4 eggs and the yolk of the 5th egg together to form a ball
- Place parchment paper into a #8 Skillet and a #10 skillet, 2 #10 Skillets , or Cast Iron Pizza Pans depending on desired crust thickness
- Grease the parchment paper and skillet sides with your fat of choice (I use lard)
- Spread the dough in the pans on the parchment paper and form a lip around the edge to contain the sauce
- Dock the dough (prick with a fork) to keep it from bubbling up
- Par-bake the crusts 18 minutes until browned (You may have to dock the dough more, it really likes to seal up and bubble more)
- Remove the pans with the crusts
- Brush the tops of the crusts with olive oil and top to your liking
*Edit*
For the pizza crust, I have been changing things up striving for perfection. I now use:
- 5 eggs and 2 yolks instead of 4:2
- 2 cups of almond flour
- 2 cups (after food processor, 2 bags before…) plain or spicy pork rinds
- Pre-heat pan to 450 degrees
- Carefully press dough into pre-heated pan
*Edit*
- Pizza Sauce
- Mix tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, Italian seasoning and rosemary in a cast iron skillet
- Simmer while the pizza crusts par-bake
- For these pizzas
- Pizza one
- Pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, green olives, pickled jalapenos
- Pizza two
- Pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, Italian sausage, pepperoni
- Pizza one
- Turn the oven temperature up to 450 degrees
- Bake the pizzas 10-15 minutes or until the cheese melts and just starts to brown
- Remove from the oven and let set a few minutes, slice, and enjoy!
