Keto Pizza Base - from our baking mix

Yes, you definitely can enjoy a good, loaded, yummy, cheesy pizza on the Keto Diet!

There is absolutely no need to give up pizza while changing your lifestyle for the good of YOU! This recipe is sooo delicious you can make your pizza base thin rt thick, I highly recommend thin!

The more you “get into” keto lifestyle, you realise there is an alternative to almost every meal! You can make any of your favorite meals, into some or other sort of keto/low carb meal! Win win! Pizza has to be up there on everyone’s list of I cannot live without it! SO, here is the version I make, using Flour and Dough baking mixes - so easy and honestly no mess or funny business!

INGREDIENTS

Flour and Dough Baking Mix - I recommend this one

Mozzarella Cheese - grated

Eggs - room temperature

Water - tap water / room temperature

Olive oil - just the one you have in the pantry

Everything else is already in your baking mix! Don’t go and add any more flavours or spices as it wont work as it should!

The best part is deciding what you want to add on top of your pizza! These are extra ingredients and you can play around with your favorite toppings!

STORAGE

Unfortunately this base doesn’t hold up very well under the toppings! It’s realy best to eat it on the same day! I have been wanting to try and put the left overs in the air fryer? I tend to find that left overs and even when making food in the air fryer, they tend to crisp up again better than the oven and most definately 100% times more than using the microwave - think soggy everything!!

It's time for soup...and bread

I love winter, I love the rain, I love sitting by the fire and toasting but most of all I LOVE SOUP!

Soup for me, is the soul of comfort food! From vegetable to cold tomatoe soup, I eat it all and I love it all!

Once upon a time, we, hubby and I, had a client whom we built a house for. It was a Friday night, it was raining and them, being the young funky type, whom we loved to go to the club with and have a good laugh about after a day grueling on a construction site, asked us what are we doing for dinner.

My hubby looked sheepishly at me, as, most of you know, we BBQ ALOT, we do it on real wood, with fires and a great time is had by everyone. He said, soup and bread, it was a beer bread to be precise, the exact beer bread baking mix you will find on our Flour & Dough site!

Holy moly, did they laugh! On a Friday, soup!

This is how much I love soup and bread! The best part of this story being, it was summer. It was just a small rainfall that had come through to cool us all down and passed the next day!

To this day, whenever we talk to them or to anyone, we mention this and my poor hubby has learnt to embrace it, that when it rains, or looks like it might rain - he gets soup. He is welcome to go grab Mc Donalds :) just btw!

My soup making skills have become incredible, from slow cooker, to pressure cooker to one man stirring on the stove, I can literally do them all without fail!

Everyone of them being treated to a perfect dunking bread! From our Beer Breads through to our keto loaves baking mixes, every one of them working perfectly in soup!

Winter is the time for me to embrace my skills and make pot after pot of soup! I look forward to seeing what soup you make and which one of our baking mixes you pair it!

Keto Pizza - from a baking mix

When I say our baking mixes are versatile, I really mean it!

One bread baking mix can absolutely make you that low carb, gluten free bread you have been dreaming of, in record time. But when you feel like something else and bread is not going to cut it, make a low carb / keto pizza base from our baking mix!

Now you can make your very own keto pizza right at home, so when the craving strikes, you will be prepared!

why you will love it

The best part of a pizza, is the base, you can add your favorite toppings and cheese, but if the base is terrible, your entire pizza is terrible!

This is where this base comes in handy! The Almond flour and other ingredients has already been mixed in the right ingredients for you. It’s healthier than the normal wheat (white ) flour that most pizza bases are made from, and its even gluten free, for those that need it.

It is really easy to make at home, saving you time and money, in this time we find ourselves in, saving money is absolute key!

You can have the baking mix ready in your pantry for months, so you wont even have to leave the house to go and grab some ingredients!

KETO PIZZA BASE

How is that for a keto pizza base!

Sezzy used the Rosemary Garlic and Thyme baking mix for this base as it already has some amazing herbs mixed into it, and in the perfect quantities. The Original bread baking mix will also do the trick, but you will have to add herbs and spices, if you want them in your base!

INGREDIENTS

1 Baking Mix - Rosemary Garlic and Thyme ( recommended)

3/4 cup parmesan cheese

2 eggs

2 tablespoons water ( maybe a little more)

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

instructions

1.In a large bowl, combine your baking mix and cheese.

2. In a small bowl/jug mix up your eggs, water and oil.

3. Add the wet mixture into your dry ingredients and give it a good mix, until a nice dough is formed. Make sure you have added enough water. you want it to look like a dough, not crumbly, but all stuck to gether without being sticky.

4. Form dough into a nice ball. Here you need to decide if you are making 2 bases or 1. I prefer to make two, as the dough makes a large size pizza and I like it quite thin, so it became a little tricky to manage.

5. Transfer your dough ball/s onto baking paper, place another piece on top, and roll it out!

6. Transfer your pizza/s to a pzza stone/pan - I use a cookie sheet, that all I had! Bake at 180 for 15-20 mins. You want your crust slightly brown and for me, crispy on the edges. Cool your pizza for 10-15 minutes

7. Now, flip it over, still on the pan/stone and remove the baking paper. Add your toppings here!

8. Give your pizza a nice grill on 220 degrees celsius, until the cheese is nice a bubbly!

tips

Roll out your pizza to the thickness and size you want. I prefer a thinner crust and also a rectangle size. Remember to make your baking paper the correct size

Add your favorite toppings

If you are using the Original baking mix, add some herbs and spices, to make the pizza base your own!

If you are going to use the Original, why not make it into something sweet? Think dessert pizza!

Your pizza can go into the fridge, the crust held, for me, for a day, then I ate the rest, so beyond that, I actualy dont know!

You can prepare keto pizza bases before hand and freeze them! Freeze them in layers in between the baking paper, then wrap them in plastic wrap. Thaw them out before you bake them. I would recommend that you don’t keep them longer than 3 months in the freezer.

Have fun and let us know how your keto pizza from a baking mix, turned out!
