Recipe Steps

steps 12

43 min

  • Step 1

    Add the grated mozzarella to a heat proof bowl with the butter over a double boiler, stirring continuously until the mozzarella and butter have melted together.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Transfer the melted cheese and butter mixture to a food processor along with 1 cup of the ground almonds and the cream cheese. Blend well until thoroughly combined.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    When the mixture is cool, add the egg to the food processor. Blend until well combined and smooth.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Add the remaining ground almonds to the food processor and blend until you have a sticky dough.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Transfer the dough into a clean bowl and allow to rest for 10 minutes before rolling and covering in plastic wrap. Transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes to firm.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Whilst the base is chilling, mince the garlic and add to a small pan along with the passata. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is tender. Set aside.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Finely slice the onion and add to a small pan with one tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Fry gently for 5 minutes until the onion is tender. Set aside.
    Step 7
  • Step 8

    Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large shallow oven tray with baking paper. Remove the dough from the freezer and place between two sheets of plastic wrap. Roll to an even thickness creating a circular base, the size of a large dinner plate.
    Step 8
  • Step 9

    Transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove the base from the oven and spread over the tomato sauce.
    Step 9
  • Step 10

    Scatter over the spinach and arrange the onions over the pizza and crumble over the blue cheese.
    Step 10
  • Step 11

    Tear the prosciutto and scatter over the pizza. Add the cranberries and finely chopped rosemary. Season the pizza with a little salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
    Step 11
  • Step 12

    Transfer to the oven to bake for a further 10 minutes until cooked through, the cheese is melted and the ham is crisp.
    Step 12

          Can this pizza base be frozen?

            Hi Amanda, to be honest I have not tried freezing the base so I cannot say for sure.

          Best keto pizza crust I’ve had yet. I made a half recipe of just the crust and made a basic margarita pizza. It was excellent.

          Directions and measurements were not correct. The pictures misleading. Disappointed since other recipes have been fantastic.

            Hi! So sorry to hear the pizza has not worked out for you. I have double checked and as far as I can see all ingredients and directions are correct and the pictures correspond. I’d really welcome your feedback if you can let me know which elements have not worked and I can look into this. Thanks!
