Keto Pizza?

(Ethan) #21

I hate cheese. Even just thinking about it gives me a gag reflex. I’ve always hated it. So any keto pizza I make has to be without cheese.

@ebt This is the recipe we usually make, though it uses a small amount of cheese in the crust:

You might be able to forego that cheese, maybe by adding another egg or egg white. I’m not sure.

The crust is okay, but it’s quite hard to get crispy, especially once sauce is put on it.

@Shinita Personally, I love pizza. I got heavy drinking beer, then eating pizza and ice cream (in that order).

The nice thing about pizza is that you can make it with so many flavors. They had a pizza at the place which had Thai flavors and salad. My wife got some, and I tried it and it was really good. I can’t think of anything else where the flavors change so much.

Unfortunately, I’m not a huge fan of cheese-based crusts on pizzas. If I had a place around that made these, I’d definitely have them, but infrequently. I think a cheese-based crust plus cheese on the pizza is a bit too much cheese for me, and why we started using chicken-based crusts.

But as an infrequent treat, especially where I don’t have to make it, I’m all for it. No restaurant near me makes this, though.

I do have regular pizza every once in a while, but when I was wearing my CGM, pizza gave me by far the worst blood sugar – high for a long time. And wheat and I don’t get along. So, I try to have real pizza at most a handful of times per year.

I only really liked the several veggies on the same pizza kind that few places had… 4 cheese pizza worked too. I strongly preferred vegetarian pizza and I am still extremely selective with meaty ones. Ham or fish works, that’s it. BUT now the crust may include some meats with mild flavor.

I will make 4 cheese pizza in Thursday! Not sure about the crust yet. Maybe quark. I manage to buy so many lately, we need to eat 100g per day for a long time :D. That’s not very much, actually even if I skip days but I shouldn’t forget about it or bake something quarkless very often! I make bread with them now. Not real bread, just some flat thing in the microwave and air frier (I like it crispy and brown but the “dough” is liquid so needs the microwave). It is very good for the role of bread for me. It must make a nice pizza crust when thin… I will try. The taste is very mild, it’s highly protein-rich (egg white based and it’s just the beginning :D)… Seems perfect for me.

The changes I’ve made to this recipe since I first posted are:

  1. Some people said to use Rao sauce. I tried it and yes its excellent. It is about 3x more expensive but it is very good.

  2. Instead of baking at 375 I now use the toaster function. That makes the pepperoni crisper and its more like a regular pizza.

I don’t tolerate eggs, so I’ve used my chicken dough as a base: https://sites.google.com/view/carnivore-keto-allergy-recipes/chicken-dough?authuser=0

Roll it out between parchment paper sheets. Dust the parchment with some tapioca starch if you need some “chew” to it. Kind of works as a tortilla or wrap that way, too. ETA- the pictures I posted above are from some of my tests for the recipe. I forgot I had posted those. I guess this is an update, lol.

That’s an idea, I have a wafer recipe and some others that contains some tapioca starch. Very little but it makes a big difference!

I made the planned pizza for lunch (well it was only the main dish, there was soup and dessert too as it’s traditional here. we don’t always bother with soup but now we had it for some days) but just for my SO. I will make my own later. I am not very hungry lately, it’s very odd. And a pizza is so very time consuming (compared to my average food). It’s fun here and then, I do like cooking… But 2 pizza at once? Nope, not today, in fruit canning season!
(Pizza sounds like it’s the same in plural. Like anime. I won’t google it now.)
