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.

What is psyllium husk powder?

Well, that’s a mouthful. Talk about strange name, sound like a breed of dog! Anyway, here are some facts…

Psyllium husk is a type of soluble fibre derived from the seed of the Plantago ovata plant. Often referred to as “ispaghula,” this ingredient has long been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to treat constipation and digestive issues.
It’s also used commercially as an emulsifier or thickener in food production.
Psyllium husk is known for its impressive health benefits, including improving digestion, reducing cholesterol levels, and helping to regulate blood sugar levels.
It can also help promote weight loss by increasing the feeling of fullness after eating and slowing down digestion.
Psyllium has been recognized as a safe dietary supplement with few side effects, making it a popular choice amongst health-conscious individuals.
Psyllium husk is typically sold in powder form, which can be added to liquid or mixed into food. It’s also available as capsules and tablets for those who prefer not to use the powder form.

And now you know!

A low-carb pizza which requires no kneading, just a simple blending and pouring of ingredients to make the base.

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

What we think

“Make sure your grill is not too hot, otherwise it may burn the edges of your pizza base before the cheese melts like what happened to ours. Also, consider using a different cheese like mozzerello. I think I prefer the other pizza base, follow the link to that recipe. It had cream cheese in the base mixture which gave it a fuller flavour. This is a nice dish. It doesn’t set the world on fire but it’s a good, hearty dish that the kids will love and it is fairly simple to make. All kids love pizza after all.

I rate this one 4 out of 5 stars. A good effort.”
