Instructions
 

Make Low Carb Pizza: A Simple Method

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your pizza cooks evenly and gets that golden crust.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the pre-shredded mozzarella, coconut flour, psyllium husk, and psyllium husk powder. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
  • Crack the egg into the bowl and add a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until a dough forms. The heat from the cheese will help melt it slightly, making it easier to combine.
  • Line your baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. Transfer the dough onto the parchment and use your hands or a spatula to spread it out into a circular pizza shape. Aim for about ¼ inch thickness for the best texture.
  • Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Once the crust is done baking, remove it from the oven. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer the pepperoni slices and sprinkle the additional shredded mozzarella on top.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy your homemade Low Carb Pizza!

Notes

  • Be precise with ingredient measurements to ensure the crust holds together well.
  • Pre-baking the crust is crucial for a firm, crispy base.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
