Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Parmesan cheese
- Egg
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Salt & pepper
Mix thoroughly until fully combined.
The mixture should feel sticky and hold together easily.
Transfer mixture onto prepared parchment paper.
- Using hands or spatula:
Flatten into thin round pizza shape
Keep thickness even throughout
- 👉 For crispier results:
Make center thin
Slightly thinner edges crisp beautifully
Bake for 15 minutes until:
Golden brown edges appear
Center becomes firm
Bottom starts crisping
Remove crust from oven.
Spread marinara sauce evenly across crust.
Top with:
- Mozzarella cheese
- Peppers
- Onions
Additional keto toppings
- Avoid overloading toppings to keep crust crispy.
- Return pizza to oven for 5–8 minutes.
Bake until:
- Cheese melts completely
- Toppings become hot
- Cheese turns bubbly and golden
- Allow pizza to cool 2–3 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Drain chicken completely to avoid soggy crust
Thin crust creates maximum crispiness
Use freshly grated cheese for better melting
Pre-bake crust fully before adding toppings
Add red pepper flakes for spicy flavor
