Equipment
- Blender or Cooking Robot
- Bowl
- Pizza Tray
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 5 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp flax seeds (grounded)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (grounded)
- 1 egg
- a bit of water (for mixing everything)
Toppings
- 1/2 bell pepper (cut small)
- 100 g mushrooms (I used hribi mushrooms)
- 5 cm leeks (sliced)
- 150 g fresh or frozen spinach (chopped)
- 150 g fresh or frozen broccoli (cut big)
- 10-15 olives (kalamata, green olives, zaromenes)
- 1 fresh tomato (slices)
- 100 g parmesan cheese (Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano)
Tomato Sauce
- 250 ml tomato passata (no other ingredients)
- fresh ginger
- fresh garlic
- dried oregano
- dried basil
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt (or your favorite salt)
- 2 eggs (for mixing into the sauce)
Instructions
Pizza Dough
- Use a blender or cooking robot to grind the flax seeds and chia seeds together.
- Add all the ingredients for the pizza dough into a bowl. Mix until you get a firm solid dough. Note the dough will have a slightly darker color from using chia and flax seeds.
- Leave the dough to rest in the fridge for 20 minutes until it solidifies a bit.
Tomato Sauce
- You’ll be making 2 versions of the tomato sauce: with or without beaten eggs. One will be used inside the pizza and the other will go on top of the pizza (for the pizza top).
- Note - If using another type of salt, start with just a little and make sure that you don’t end-up with sauce that’s too salty.
- Tomato Sauce version 1: Add all the ingredients (except for the eggs) into a small bowl. Using a teaspoon, mix for 1 min or until combined.
- Tomato Sauce version 2: Separate half of the tomato sauce above, break 2 eggs and add them into the sauce. Using a fork, beat the eggs into the tomato sauce until combined.
Pizza Crust
- When you’re ready to prepare the pizza, remove the dough from the fridge and prepare to roll it into a crust.
- Place the dough between two pieces of baking paper and roll out until the dough is very thin. Use your fingers to roll the edges, creating a rim to hold the pizza filling. Alternatively, use a nonstick silicon covered roller to roll the dough.
- Add the crust to a pizza tray and prepare to bake.
- Bake this pizza crust in the oven for 10 min at 150 Celsius. Once baked, the crust should become a bit more firm.
- Remove from the oven and start adding all the toppings.
Let’s Make this Keto Pizza!
- Start with a pre-cooked pizza crust (see instructions above - Pizza Crust).
- First step, add a layer of tomato sauce (the half without eggs, version 1). Make sure you spread it evenly on the crust and don’t add too much (less is more here).
- Add a layer of grated parmesan cheese.
- Continue by adding all the toppings that you like, in the quantities that you prefer.
- Add another layer of tomato sauce but this time make sure you’ve mixed in 2 beaten eggs (tomato sauce version 2).
- Add another layer of grated parmesan cheese.
- Last step … Bake in the oven at 150 Celsius for at least 30 mins or until all the ingredients have formed a nice yellow crust together with the sauce and the cheese. You’ll know it’s ready when your kitchen will start smelling like freshly baked pizza.
- That’s it! Always test to make sure all the ingredients on the pizza are cooked. When ready, remove from the oven and set aside for a few minutes to cool down before cutting. Enjoy!
Notes
When making the pizza dough, you’ll have to make sure that you don’t add too much water or the dough will end-up being too soft. In this case, add a bit more almond flour until the dough becomes firm and solid, something around the consistency of a regular dough.
Making pizza should be fun, right? Feel free to use the toppings that you like and enjoy, in the quantities that you prefer. Let me know what toppings you like most!
