Keto Deep Dish Pizza
A satisfying and cheesy low-carb deep dish pizza that's perfect for keto dieters, featuring a rich mozzarella crust and hearty beef pepperoni.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Melted for the crust
- 0.5 cups lupin meal
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
For the topping
- 0.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese For topping
- 12 slices beef pepperoni
- 0.33 cups low-carb marinara sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Melt 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl for about 2-3 minutes on high, stirring at 60-second intervals until completely melted.
- Transfer the melted cheese to a food processor and add lupin meal, almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt. Pulse the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough. If necessary, knead by hand or microwave for another 30 seconds and pulse again.
- Spray a cast iron skillet or baking dish with cooking spray and press the dough into the bottom and sides to form a crust.
- Layer half of the remaining cheese on the crust, followed by beef pepperoni slices, the rest of the cheese, and finally pour low-carb marinara sauce over the top.
Baking
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a crispy finish, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Notes
Pair with a fresh side salad or sautéed vegetables. For storage, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze individual slices wrapped tightly for longer storage.
