Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), allowing it to reach the perfect temperature to create that crisp pizza crust.
-
-
Prepare the Pizza Pans: Spray two 12-inch pizza pans with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the crust from sticking and to ensure easy removal once baked.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, and salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and has a texture similar to pancake batter.
-
Spread the Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pizza pans. Using a spatula, spread the batter as thinly and evenly as possible across the bottom of the pans, ensuring a uniform layer that will bake evenly.
-
Bake the Crust: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on the crust; it should be browned and firm to the touch when done.
-
Add Toppings: Once the crusts are baked, turn the oven up to 400°F (200°C). Top each pizza with sugar-free tomato sauce, a generous amount of cheese, and your choice of toppings.
-
Final Bake: Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
-
Cut and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven, and let them cool slightly before cutting each pizza into 8 pieces. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious low-carb creation!
This Low Carb Pizza Crust recipe offers a fantastic base for countless topping combinations, ensuring that you can satisfy your pizza cravings without derailing your dietary goals.
