Easy Keto-Friendly Pizza Crust Recipe

If you’re on a low-carb diet but still crave a delicious pizza, you’re in luck! I’ve found that this simple and tasty low-carb pizza crust is the perfect solution. Made with cottage cheese, cream cheese, and eggs, this crust is both satisfying and easy to make. Whether you’re following a keto diet or just looking to cut down on carbs, this recipe is a game-changer. 

Ingredients 

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

• Cottage cheese
• Cream cheese, softened
• Large eggs
• Garlic powder
• Italian seasoning
• Salt

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter. This will help prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix well until everything is fully blended. You can use a whisk or a hand mixer for a smoother consistency.

Pour the mixture onto your prepared parchment paper. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it out into your desired shape—round for a traditional pizza or rectangular for easy slicing.

Place the pan in the oven and bake the crust for about 35 minutes. The edges should turn a light golden brown, and the center should be set.

Once the crust is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. This step is essential because it helps the crust firm up before you add your toppings.

Now comes my favorite part—toppings! Whether you prefer classic pepperoni and mozzarella or a veggie-packed pizza, the choice is yours. For an extra crispy base, try flipping the crust over before adding toppings.

Bake the Loaded Pizza

Return your topped pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a light golden color.

Once your pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will help everything stay together when you serve it. Now, dig in and enjoy your delicious homemade low-carb pizza!

This crust is perfect if you’re following a carnivore diet. But don’t use a tomato-based sauce. Instead, make a cream sauce with full-fat cream, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite Italian seasonings.

Extra Tips for the Best Results

• Use full-fat dairy. It gives the crust a richer flavor and better texture.
• Blend for a smoother crust. If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the cottage cheese before mixing it with other ingredients.
• Experiment with seasonings. Add a little onion powder or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
• Add roasted vegetables to the topping for extra nutrition and lots of delicious flavor.
• Flip before topping. Turning the crust upside down before adding toppings makes it sturdier.
