When it comes to creating a low carb pizza, the crust will make or break your recipe. The most difficult part is achieving a low carb pizza crust that isn't mushy, and is firm enough to be able to actually be picked up like a slice of pizza. Eating your low carb pizza with a fork will still help satisfy that pizza craving, but finding a low carb pizza crust recipe that actually firms up will take it to the next level.
If don't right, this recipe will firm up but I have found that it's a bit fickle, and won't always do what you need it to do. But it is delicious, and even if you do end up eating it with a fork, you won't be disappointed.

This is a pretty yummy crust but sometimes it does end up a bit soft. The thinner you can make it, the more likely it is to crisp up. Make sure you check out my low carb pizza sauce recipe and learn how to put it all together for a complete low carb pizza.
I prefer to buy made in the USA cast iron pans
for making my crusts, and I love my bamboo cutting board
