WHITE KETO PIZZA WITH BALSAMIC CARAMELIZED ONIONS, ROASTED MUSHROOMS, MINZANO TOMATOES, GOATS CHEESE
THE PIZZA ADDICTION
We have a serious pizza addiction in this household, so you can bet that finding the perfect Fathead Pizza crust recipe was a glorious moment for me. I honestly don't remember where I found the original recipe that I altered to become my version of Fathead pizza, but I was inspired to try it after seeing a few fellow Keto Bloggers post photos that really looked like proper pizza bases. This almond flour base is low in carbs, sugar free, and full of good fat. It is delicious! I am not sure if my husband simply hasn't tasted real pizza in so long that he is delirious, but he claims he prefers this to "real" pizza! WIN!
The awesome part about this totally-from-scratch pizza is that it literally takes minutes to prepare. The dough doesn't need heavy kneading, and it doesn't have yeast or need to proof, it takes MINUTES.
My husband loves it, it's easy to make, and the base requires ingredients I always have on hand. For all of these little reasons Pizza night has become an almost weekly occurrence, and we have fun playing around with whatever ingredients we have around as toppings.
