Keto BBQ Chicken Pizza
A low-carb pizza which requires no kneading, just a simple blending and pouring of ingredients to make the base.
Making a keto pizza base at home is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a low-carbohydrate meal.
A Keto dough pizza bases is made with alternative flours. They are naturally gluten-free and have only a fraction of the carbs found in traditional pizza dough. To make the keto dough pizza base, begin by combining the ingredients in a bowl. Add baking powder and the desired flavourings, then mix everything together until it forms a thick dough. For an even chewier texture, you can chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before rolling it out.
Rolling, or pouring in this case, out the dough
When the dough is ready, roll it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten the dough until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the pizza base for 10-15 minutes, until it’s golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool before adding your favourite toppings and cooking for a further 3-5 minutes. Enjoy a delicious low-carb keto pizza that satisfies all your cravings without sacrificing flavour.

Keto BBQ Chicken Pizza

Serves
Prep Time10 Mins
Cook Time15 Mins
Total Time25 Mins
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 6 tbsp parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp psyllium husk powder
- 1.5 tsp Italian Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 oz cheddar cheese
- 6 oz Rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 4 tbsp tomato sauce
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425F and shred cheese. Set aside.
- Using an immersion blender, combine all ingredients for the crust until very well mixed. It should be rather thick.
- Spread dough out on a silpat using a silicone spatula. It’s too sticky to use your hands for (I tried it and it was a mess). Silicone really helps keep the dough from sticking on to everything. This will take you a few minutes to do, but your oven should be pre-heating in the meantime.
- Once the crust is spread out evenly, place in the oven and bake on the top rack for 10 minutes.
- Once done in the oven, flip the pizza over. I tried flipping it with a flipper, but ended up using my hands by holding 2 corners.
- Top with your favorite toppings, then broil for an additional 3 minutes in the oven.
- Slice and serve! Feel free to top with chives, spring onion, or other herbs/ vegetables that match the toppings
