INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
PIZZA SAUCE:
- Utilize the keto pizza sauce without extra hidden sugar or starches. I use crushed tomatoes, which are lightly cooked with salt, olive oil, oregano, and garlic instead.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Use the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, which gives a salty texture and makes a firm crust. I utilized aged asiago, or pecorino romano, as a replacement.
BROCCOLI:
- It helps to make a perfect texture for this pizza. I use the cauliflower, which has a similar texture and carb content.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- It melts easily and provides fat content to the crust. Use the keto plant-based mozzarella replacements for a non-dairy variety. Don’t use the processed cheese blends as they contain starch.
EGGS:
- Eggs provide stability and bind the ingredients to make the crust. As an alternative, I use 1 flax egg.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm the empty oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- We utilize the paper (parchment) to cover the baking sheet.
- Include the broccoli in the food processor and chop it.
- Keep the broccoli in the microwave for three minutes to get softer.
- Leave it to chill lightly, then strain the extra water content with a pantry towel.
- Stir all the seasonings, eggs, Parmesan, broccoli, and mozzarella in a bowl till they are completely mixed.
- Distribute the mixture on the sheet and make a shape like a round pizza.
- Bake till they get slightly brown and firm up, for fifteen minutes.
- Equally include the toppings and keto pizza sauce on it, after baking.
- Then, bake it again till cheese bubbles & melts, for another ten minutes.
- Before making slices, leave it to sit for five minutes.

TIPS:
- Leave the crust to get perfectly set.
- Strain out the extra water content, which is not good for a firm crust.

- Before including toppings, bake the crust first to avoid sogginess.
