The Best Keto Pizza

Following a Keto lifestyle doesn’t mean missing out on classic comfort foods. This is why we share with you the best Keto recipes, including this delicious Keto pizza. It is easy to prepare and tastes very similar to non-Keto pizza. What differentiates this low-carb pizza from others is its crust. There are many easy Keto recipes for pizza crust on the internet, but we think this one is the closest in flavor and texture to a regular pizza crust.

Should you be worried about the sugar in the dough?

While it is a no-no to add sugar to any Keto recipe, this recipe is an exception. The yeast will feed on the sugar and produce carbon dioxide, aka the bubbles that cause bread and baked goods to rise. So basically, the yeast will activate by consuming the sugar, leaving you none.

How to make the best Keto pizza

A pizza isn’t complete without a perfect crust, and following a Keto lifestyle shouldn’t stop that. To make the dough, we have used fathead dough as a base, but lightened it up using psyllium husk and yeast. The result is a risen, pillowy crust. We don’t recommend omitting the psyllium husk nor the yeast because that will yield a dense and unappetizing base.

There are some critical points to baking a successful Keto pizza. Firstly, to bloom the yeast, you must use lukewarm water, which is around body temperature. If you use hot water, you will kill the yeast, and if you use cold water, the yeast won’t activate. Secondly, you half bake the crust before adding the rest of the ingredients. If you bake the pizza with its toppings from the start, it won’t rise as much.
