Keto Pizza Crust – Gluten Free

This keto pizza crust is an older low carb pizza crust recipe that I had gotten rid of because Fathead Dough became so popular. I recently brought it back due to popular demand and lots of requests from readers who have been looking for it again. It’s got 29g protein per serving, and is gluten free.

UPDATE: When I wrote this keto pizza crust post and was dealing with these allergies back in South Carolina, I had an undiagnosed condition called MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) which was causing my reactions to a lot of foods and other triggers. I still have it, but after leaving SC and the many chemicals used in farming near where we lived, as well as the high pollen counts of a few plants I’m allergic to, I now have my symptoms under control.

I’ve come to realize in the last week that I have been in a toxic relationship.  I had a feeling that I needed to end it, but I was in denial for months.  The other night was the straw that broke the camel’s back.  It was a difficult break-up, but I have to do what’s best for me in the long run so I ended it. It’s a real comfort to know that I’ll have the support of my peeps during this difficult time.  Goodbye flax, it was fun while it lasted…

Unfortunately it’s true, flax and I are done for good.  I made this delicious keto pizza crust the other night and couldn’t wait to share it with you guys.  It was so yummy that I ate 2 small pieces cold the next morning – and that’s when it happened.  I started having the allergy symptoms that I was experiencing this spring and it freaked me out.  Heart palpitations, tingling throat and lips, etc.

I had long realized that stevia products, and at this point pretty much all artificial sweeteners, were giving me a reaction.  The other day I realized that flax, which I haven’t eaten in awhile was also present in almost every instance that ended me up in the ER.

I love using flax because it’s loaded with Omega 3’s and basically zero carb, but obviously I can’t risk my health over it.  Ironically, this low carb pizza crust recipe was an attempt to reduce the amount of flax in my original flax and parmesan pizza crust to improve the flavor and texture.  Now I’ll be working on a keto pizza crust that omits the flax altogether.

Update 2: This is my flax free easy keto dough recipe that I use to make low carb pizza now when I’m on keto.

But in the meantime, just because I won’t be eating this keto pizza crust doesn’t mean you can’t!  It was pretty awesome tasting if I do say so – and so easy to make! 

The carbs are higher than the original low carb flax pizza crust, but I think the flavor and texture is much better.  This recipe makes one 10″ pie which is more than enough for two people as it’s very dense and filling.  This keto pizza is topped with sauce, spinach, italian sausage, and a four cheese blend. 

It was simple but really good – even the next morning!
