Tired of complicated keto pizza recipes? This Keto Pizza is about as easy as homemade pizza gets! The crust is light, crispy, and crunchy, delivering a taste and texture that truly rivals traditional pizza, but with just 3 net carbs per slice. This recipe is a quicker, simpler, and tastier alternative to the heavy, doughy fathead crust.

Ingredients & What You’ll Need

• Blanched Almond Flour (1 ½ cups / 168g): The primary flour for the light, crispy crust.
• Coconut Flour (2 Tbsps / 15g): Adds a small amount of structure and texture.
• Unflavored Whey Protein Powder (⅔ Scoop / 20g): A key ingredient for the crispy texture. Can be substituted with more almond flour.
• Xanthan Gum (½ tsp): Helps to bind the dough and provide elasticity.
• Baking Powder (½ tsp): Gives the crust a little lift.
• Pinch of Salt: Enhances the flavors of the crust.
• Tiny Pinch of Garlic Powder: Adds a hint of savory flavor.
• Tiny Pinch of Onion Powder: Another savory aromatic for the crust.
• Eggs (2): Binds the dough together.
• Melted Coconut Oil (1 Tbsp / 14g): Adds moisture and richness to the dough.
• No Sugar Added Pizza Sauce (½ cup / 125g): The base for your toppings.
• Shredded Cheese & Toppings: Your choice of toppings and cheese.

How to Make Keto Pizza

This keto pizza comes together effortlessly, without the long, drawn-out process of traditional or fathead doughs.

Prep the Crust

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). In a large bowl, add all of the dry ingredients: blanched almond flour, coconut flour, unflavored whey protein powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, a pinch of salt, a tiny pinch of garlic powder, and a tiny pinch of onion powder. Whisk these together until they are well combined. For best results, use a food scale to measure out the ingredients.

Once the dry ingredients are combined, melt the coconut oil and add it to the bowl along with the two eggs. Use a spatula to mix and combine the ingredients until a ball of dough forms and the egg yolks have dissolved.

Roll and Pre-bake the Dough

Take out a large sheet of parchment paper and place it on your work surface. Add the ball of dough to the center, then cover the dough with another large sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough out to about 14 inches in diameter. Once rolled, roll up the edges of the dough to form an outer crust, leaving you with a 12-inch diameter crust.

Carefully transfer the dough (along with the parchment paper underneath) to a pizza tray. Bake the crust for 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye on it, as it cooks quickly. Bake for 3 minutes if using the whey protein powder, or 5 minutes if you are not. The crust is done when the outer edges just begin to turn a light golden color.

Add Toppings and Broil

Once the keto pizza crust is pre-baked, you are ready to add your No Sugar Added Pizza Sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice. When all your toppings are on, switch your oven over to the broil setting at 500°F (260°C). Place the pizza back in the oven and broil for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are nice and crispy.

Once the cheese has melted to perfection, remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Keto Pizza

Substitute with Care

If you don’t use the whey protein powder, replace it with 30 grams more of almond flour (1 ¾ cups / 198g total). Do not substitute coconut flour for almond flour, as they have different absorption properties and will ruin the texture of the dough. You can, however, substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour or walnut flour.

Use a Food Scale

For the best and most consistent results, it is highly recommended to use a food scale to measure your ingredients, especially the flours.

Don’t Skip the Broil

Broiling the pizza at the end is a key step to getting a super crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

This recipe makes 8 slices and leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, the best method is in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid the microwave for reheating if you want a crispy crust.
