I’ve been eating gluten-free for nearly a decade and recently learned about the benefits of a low-carb diet for those with hypothyroidism. Going low-carb doesn’t mean eating eggs and steak all the time. With the right ingredients, you can enjoy food like pizza.

The “All Day I Dream about Food” website, one of my favorites for tasty recipe ideas, I encountered a tasty pizza crust recipe. I adapted it using the ingredient I had and use a chicken garlic topping from a take-and-bake pizza place. Here is the original recipe.

My version of the low-carb gluten-free pizza recipe

Oven 350 degrees (F)
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup olive oil
Preparation:

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees (F).
  2. Grease an 8-by-8-inch pan.
  3. Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  4. Add the eggs and olive oil to the dry ingredients; mix until combined.
  5. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake in a 350-degree (F) oven for 20 minutes, until the bead is thoroughly cooked.
  7. Remove the bread from the pan and cut it in half width-wise, so you have two square pieces of bread. This makes the crust thinner, which I like.
  8. Add your favorite pizza toppings on the cut sides of the bread.
  9. Place the pizza in the oven for about 10 minutes.

This pizza crust is thick. My regular pizza slicer couldn’t cut it. This is where the KUPO™ Pizza Cutter came in handy. The cutter has a 4-inch diameter! This baby is going to glide over the thickest pizzas with the highest toppings. The blade seems sharp and the handle is nice and long for big hands.

Before, I’d use my big chef’s knife from my knife set to cut big pizzas. The KUPO™ cutter is much simpler for this task.

What pizza cutting tricks do you have? Is there a low-carb pizza crust recipe that you like?
