Keto Pizza Crust

 You'll never miss the carbs, with this KETO pizza crust.


Have you joined the KETO diet craze? While I somewhat understand the benefits of Ketosis on the body, I'm not quite convinced that a diet abundant in cheese, eggs, and bacon could be good for you. BUT I do have several friends who have been/ and still are on a Keto diet and they have lost weight. So in an attempt to help my BFF's husband be able to enjoy pizza, I stumbled upon this recipe. 

At first I was a bit skeptical of a low carb pizza crust. I was sure it was going to include weird flours I could only find at the health food store. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this pizza crust recipe uses ingredients everyone has at home. So when we had pizza night, this past weekend, I gave the crust a try.


I was very anxious to see if it would really work. After all, I had never had to spread my pizza dough in a cake pan before, to bake it, LOL. As it baked, I knew that it was going to be a hit. The smell of baking cheese was intoxicating. Once I topped it and returned it to the oven, I was excited to eat! The kids LOVED the crust, saying it had really great flavour. They couldn't even tell that it wasn't a bread type dough. 

While this was a hit at our house, I don't see myself making this crust more than a few times per year. Recently having had heart issues and now being mindful of what we are eating, I feel like this is just too much of the "bad" fats for my diet.

** I got the idea for this recipe on Plain Chicken. I do not take full creative ownership of this recipe. It is one I adapted from an already published recipe **




Keto Pizza Crust (Low Carb)
adapted from Plain Chicken

4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 extra large eggs
1/4 C parmesan
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1 C mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 C tomato puree
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
additional shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
favorite pizza toppings ( we had pepperoni, ham, olive and mushrooms)

In a bowl, combine the tomato puree with the basil and oregano. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggs, Italian seasoning and parmesan, until well combined. Stir in the mozzarella cheese. Spread cheese mixture evenly in prepared baking dish.

Bake for 20-25 minutes; until browned. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Place cooled crust on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spread with tomato puree and sprinkle with additional mozzarella, and desired toppings.

Bake once again in a 375 degree F oven, for 15 minutes; until toppings are bubbly.

    Sounds like fathead dough! Keto doesn't need to be like Atkins filled with bacon and cheese, but there are people who do it that way and still loose weight! Your finished pizza looks delicious!

      Thank you! It seems all I see for Keto recipes is bacon and cheese. It definitely would be something I research a great deal more, were I to decide to follow the diet.

    The way you described the smell made me want to try it even more! I love the id eww a of the kids loving it, as I have a picky 4 year old. Definitely worth a try. I used to be on the keto diet, but never tried this. My health has changed significantly so, just like you, my diet cannot include many of the foods that the keto does. Trying this for my son :)

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa
