Low-Carb Pizza Base

Let's start with the basics, the base! This is where traditional pizza's pack the most carbohydrates. If you've been following low-carb for a while, we're sure you've tried a whole range of low-carb pizza base options like cauliflower, cheese or even squash —however, we've found that none of these cover the craving for that crusty cheesy pizza quite right...

Our pizza bases are made using our low-carb flour blend and come in at only 1.4g carbs per base! 

Sold in a pack of 4 and stores great in the freezer, meaning that you'll always have a perfect low-carb alternative available for when the cravings hit! 

Cooking Instructions

1. Pre-heat your oven to 170°C (fan). 
2. Remove the pizza base from the freezer. 
3. Add your pizza sauce, toppings and cheese. 
4. Cook for 10 minutes, until the cheese is golden and melted. 

Low-Carb Pizza Sauce

Now that you have your pizza base, it's time to make the sauce. Once you get this recipe right, we can promise that this will become a staple in your household. This sauce can also be frozen for up to 6 months, so it's perfect for batch cooking! 

💡Be careful when you choose your produce though, as tomato passata can range greatly in carb content. Make sure you check the nutritional information.

Low-Carb Pizza Toppings

Time to get creative! But make sure you think tour toppings through. After choosing a low-carb pizza base and creating your low-carb pizza sauce, don't add unnecessary carbs in the toppings! 

❗Meat: The category where it's (almost) impossible to go wrong! Pepperoni, ham, sausage, bacon, shredded chicken, ground beef and anchovies are all great alternatives for pizza toppings. Just make sure you cook the meat before adding it to your base! 

Be aware that certain meat products can have added ingredients like sugar, so make sure you read the nutritional information or get clean meat from your local butcher. 

❗Herbs: Oregano, rosemary, basil and thyme are all synonymous with pizza. Although at first glance they may seem high in carbs, remember that you don't need much to make a difference, so the total carbs added shouldn't be too high. 

❗Vegetables: Olives, mushrooms, onions, artichokes, green peppers, pickled jalapeños and broccoli would all fit perfectly on your pizza. However, certain toppings like pineapples could add a lot of unnecessary carbs to your meal. 

  ❗Cheese: Hard cheeses are generally lower in carbs than soft cheeses. And, although it could be tempting to purchase the ready-shredded pack —be warned that some of these have added starch, so it might be better to shred the cheese yourself. 

All that’s left to do is pick out a movie and get stuck in for your low-carb and keto friendly pizza night!

Enjoy!
