Keto Pizza Napoletana
Our Keto Pizza Napoletana is made using a Keto-friendly pizza crust. The crust is easy to make and created with a blend of cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. The mixture forms into a dough you can bake before adding the toppings – traditional Napoletana toppings like San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, and fresh Italian basil. The pizza is baked and then broiled to brown the cheese nicely. This low-carb pizza makes the ultimate Keto meal when a pizza craving strikes!
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F (180 C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 45 seconds on high. Stir, then microwave again for 45 seconds until completely melted.
Step 2
Stir in the egg whites and coconut flour. Mix well until it is a homogeneous mixture. It should also look and feel like a soft dough. Spread the dough onto a silicone-lined baking sheet. Spread the dough as thin as possible without being so thin there are holes in the dough. Make sure you spread the dough into a circular shape.
Step 3
Bake for 20 minutes until puffed and golden. Allow the crust to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients. You want the crust to be cooked through most of the way, but not too brown that it will burn during the final bake step.
Step 4
Spread the sauce very thinly onto the crust. Slice the mozzarella cheese very thin. Place it on top of the crust.
Step 5
Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes until the mozzarella cheese is melted and most of the water from the cheese is evaporated. Then turn the broiler on high for 5 minutes or so with the pizza positioned in the middle of the oven. Pull the pizza from the oven when the cheese is nicely browned. Allow the pizza to cool and firm up slightly before topping with basil, slicing into eight pieces, and serving.
