This is not my recipe, BUT I HAD TO SHARE. When you are on a low carb diet and are REALLY craving pizza, this crust is a pretty good substitute!  I was going to do a post about all the things I have found to use this recipe for but I couldn’t wait to share this recipe. Not only is this recipe Keto/Low Carb it is also Gluten Free.

When making the dough you can use a microwave or stove top. Just be sure you don’t burn the cheese. I prefer to use the stove top when making the crust. Mostly because I don’t even own a microwave.

This recipe is big enough for 2 personal size pizza. But the possibilities are ENDLESS! Look for a blog post that will be coming up with the all the ways I have found to use the dough for.
