INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
KETO BREAD:
- We utilize keto bread because it provides a low-carb base and holds toppings well. Instead, you can use cloud bread or fathead bread.
BUTTER:
- Butter delivers rich flavor and moist texture. As another option, we might use ghee for a deeper taste.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Mozzarella cheese gives a stretchy, melty texture. Instead, you can use provolone or Monterey Jack.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- We use cheddar cheese for its sharp flavor and golden melt. As a different option, utilize aged Gouda or Colby cheese.
GARLIC:
- Garlic provides a strong savory aroma and taste. As a further choice, you can use garlic powder for convenience.
OLIVE OIL:
- Light richness and crispness are added with olive oil. You might also use avocado oil.
