High Protein Pizza Crust
Numerous studies suggest that a diet rich in protein, relative to carbohydrates, offers a range of benefits. High-protein diets have been linked to reducing cognitive decline, slowing the progression of osteoporosis, and preserving muscle mass. As a result, they are increasingly seen as a natural approach to combating the effects of aging.
And that is why I have been slowly transitioning myself to a higher protein, low carb and moderate fat diet. Recipes like this Easy High Protein Chipotle Chicken Skewers or these Air Fryer Carnivore Steak Bites are helping hit my protein targets.
But after having a huge pizza craving, I knew that a zero carb pizza crust recipe was next in line!
PSMF Pizza Crust Ingredients
Making this zero carb pizza crust recipe only requires 4 basic ingredients:
- Ground Turkey - The leaner the ground turkey, the better but you can also opt for lean ground chicken or beef.
- Gelatin - The gelatin not only helps to hold the pizza crust together (that's right - you can actually eat it with your bare hands and without a knife and fork!), as well as helps to keep the meat from drying out. I recently bought a large bag from Amazon by Microingredients
- Egg - This not only adds some additional protein but also helps to bind the PSMF pizza crust together
- Seasoning - You will need some salt (I LOVE Redmond's) and can add any additional pizza seasonings that you wish.
Dairy-Free Keto Pizza Crust Instructions
Making this high protein pizza crust is not at all difficult! All you need is a bowl, some parchment paper and a pizza stone.
Step 1 - Combine the ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well (Hint - I like to use my hands as I find it works the best to make sure that all the ingredients are fully combined.
Step 2 - Form the pizza crust
- Place a piece of parchment paper over the top of a pizza pan. Using your hands, press the meat mixture into the shape of a pizza
Step 3 - Bake
- Once the oven and pizza stone have been heated to 425 degrees F., slide the parchment paper onto the pizza stone and bake (Hint - if you do not have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on the pizza pan but the crust will be softer than if you bake it on the pizza stone
Step 4 - Add the toppings
- Remove the pizza from the oven and top with desired toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
