Crust Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Toppings
- 1/2 recipe Keto Pizza Sauce (marinara sauce)
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 13 slices Pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius) and lightly spray a 10-inch pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Crust Mixture: In a food processor, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, eggs, and Italian seasoning. Pulse several times until the mixture is well blended and forms a uniform dough-like consistency.
- Form and Bake Crust: Pour the cheese and egg mixture onto the prepared pizza pan, spreading it out evenly into a thin layer. Bake the crust for about 20 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and feels firm to the touch, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool the Crust: Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. This cooling step helps to set the crust and prevents sogginess when adding toppings.
- Add Toppings: Spread the keto pizza sauce evenly over the cooled crust. Then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top and arrange the 13 slices of pepperoni evenly over the pizza.
- Bake with Toppings: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and melted, and the pepperoni is slightly crisp.
Notes
- Ensure the crust is fully cooled before adding toppings to avoid sogginess.
- You can customize toppings to your preference, keeping in mind the keto-friendly nature of the recipe.
- Using a food processor helps blend the crust ingredients thoroughly for a better texture.
- For extra crispiness, you might broil the pizza for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
