KETO PIZZA CRUST (A MUST TRY)

From a few ingredients to becoming to most popular human on Earth - let's talk about KETO Pizza Crust.

Before you question if this is something you'd like to make ... I'd like to reference my 13 year old - He's not one to tolerate people jacking around with Pizza.  Pizza in this house is sacrosanct.  

I actually had to make a second pizza in order to take photos.  It's that good and it was gone that fast.

My amazing neighbor Jade came over today armed with her KETO Pizza Crust tips & tricks.
Ingredients: 
  • 1 c Full Fat Mozzarella 
  • 3/4 c Almond Flour
  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • Garlic Powder
  • Salt 
  • Dried Basil / Oregano 
What you'll need:
  • Pizza Pan
  • Parchment Paper 
  • Preheated oven - 425 degrees
How To:
  • In a glass bowl (microwave friendly) mix everything together EXCEPT the egg yolks
  • Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds. Remove, Stir, & Repeat two more times​
  • Total Time in Microwave: 1.5 mins 
  • After you remove it for the last time (after its 3rd 30 second period), it will look like a little ball of dough (middle photo)
  • Add your Egg Yolks and stir until you have a well blended dough
  • Once the yolk is fully incorporated, place the dough on a parchment lined pizza pan
  • Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and press out until the dough is thin and even.  I use a metal water bottle towards the end just to make sure it's as uniform as possible ... most adults have a rolling pin I'm guessing, so have that on hand! 
  • Remove top layer of parchment paper and bake for 8 mins or so - your oven may be different than mine so check it after 5-7 minutes, it should be brown and looking crisp.  Tip: before baking, puncture crust with a fork so you don't get air bubbles as it bakes
  • When ready, remove from oven and flip the crust over so that the baked side (middle photo) becomes the bottom of the crust
  • Top with anything you'd like - we opted for a plain cheese "flatbread" style pizza so we didn't use any sauce on ours
  • Bake for an additional 8 minutes until your toppings are hot and your cheese melted.  Since we only used cheese, I started checking on ours after 5 minutes.  It took about 8 for everything to become bubbly and ooey gooey.
Here's what I love: The pizza was crisp, it held up to a massive amount of cheese, and it was GOOD.  It wasn't just a crappy substitute for pizza.  It was good pizza. 

If I had made this for someone older than 13, I think it would be amazing with pesto and chicken  or  caramelized onions, blue cheese, prosciutto, & arugula which is actually a replica of my favorite pizza of all time.
