Instructions to make the best keto pizza
Mix the cheese, baking powder, almond flour, cream cheese, herbs of your choice and salt in
a microwaveable bowl and stir everything together. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Stir the ingredients together and microwave again on high for another 30 seconds.
Take out the bowl, add the egg and vinegar and mix everything with a non-stick rubber spatula to make a dough-like consistency.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celcius.
Place the dough in between 2 pieces of baking paper and use a large flat-bottomed pan or chopping board to press on, to form a thing large crust. Wet your hands with some olive oil to give the dough a final round shape. Poke a few holes in the dough with a fork.
Slide the keto pizza crust onto a baking tray with baking paper and bake it in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 220 degrees Celsius, or until the pizza is a golden brown.
Take out the tray; flip the pizza and bake for another 5 minutes.
When the pizza is ready, spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce and put the cheese of taste on top. Add the seasoning (chili flakes, garlic powder) and then your favorite toppings and bake for another 8 minutes on 220C.
Take out the keto pizza; sprinkle it with oregano and let cool for 5 minutes before cutting it.
Enjoy to the fullest!!
