Low Carb Pizza Crust With Yeast
Have you been missing the smell and taste of real bread? Are Keto loaf breads just not cutting it for you? Are you tired of an eggy taste in everything you make? This Keto pizza crust is made with the one ingredient that will give you a taste of what you’re missing: yeast! Yeast is alive and is what makes breads, pizza crusts, and other doughs taste like the professionally-made stuff. Follow the directions carefully; yeast can be killed if not used properly. Don’t worry though, anybody can make this Keto pizza dough. In fact, this would be a very fun recipe to make with family members or friends!
How to Make It
Step 1
Whisk together warm water (at least 105 degrees, but not hot) and the honey. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and set the mixture aside. Let the yeast feed for about 10 minutes. The yeast water should appear frothy or bubbly without being stirred and will smell fragrant.
Step 2
In a stand mixer, mix together the egg, egg whites, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Mix on a medium speed until frothy. Slowly mix the yeast water into the bowl. On the side in a separate bowl, sift together the remaining dry ingredients. Then, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on a low speed in 2-3 additions until just combined. Make sure the dough is consistent but do not over mix.
Step 3
Pour the dough onto a prepared baking tray lined with parchment paper. Gently spread the pizza dough into approx a 10-inch circle using a spatula. You may also use the spatula to create a crust around the edge of the dough. Loosely place a piece of plastic wrap or a baker’s cloth over the dough to rise for about 15 minutes. This dough will not double in size like traditional yeast doughs, but you should see the dough has risen some and appears lighter from the formed air bubbles. If the temperature in your kitchen is cold, you may need to set the rising dough near a warm oven.
Step 4
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees while the pizza crust rises. Remove the cover laying over the dough and transfer the tray into the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you can add any toppings you desire (the original recipe here was made with simple marinara sauce, spinach, and mozzarella cheese). Then, bake for an additional 10 minutes or until your toppings are properly cooked through.
