Recipe: Zero Carb Crust Pizza

Ingredients: For the Crust:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt
For Topping:
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free tomato sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Allow the melted cheese to cool slightly, then add the egg, dried oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until you have a cohesive dough.
  4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin circle, creating your pizza crust.
  5. Carefully remove the top layer of parchment paper and transfer the crust (with the bottom parchment paper) onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it’s golden and crisp at the edges.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  8. Spread a thin layer of sugar-free tomato sauce or pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a border around the edges.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  10. Add your desired pizza toppings on top of the cheese.
  11. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
