Low Carb White Pizza Pins (4)

Let the fathead dough rest for today. This Low Carb White Pizza Recipe has all of the flavor without the overpowering tomato sauce base.

The toppings shine in this dish and the crispy crust has a secret ingredient that gives it the special zesty flavor white pizza needs.

🥘Ingredients

Crust

  • 4 eggs

Use room temperature eggs to get the best results in the low carb white pizza crust. You can let them sit in a bowl of warm water of you don't want to let them sit on the counter.

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

I know, I know. This ingredient sounds weird...

But, it gives the crust the fat and tangy flavor it needs since we are leaving out the heaps of cheese that usually dominate low carb pizza.

  • 1.5 cup almond flour

Yes, you can substitute coconut flour if you choose. You would need ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon of coconut flour.

  • 2 tablespoon ground psyllium husk powder

Psyllium is a great way to make the texture of low carb breads a little sturdier. You can substitute a teaspoon of xanthan gum but the texture won't be as crispy.

Psyllium is also a great way to get more fiber on a low carb diet. This one is our favorite.

  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Toppings

  • ¼ cup spinach pesto

The spinach basil pesto recipe takes less than ten minutes put together but you can skip it or try the kale pesto recipe instead.

  • ¾ cup sour cream * ricotta or crème fraîche can be substituted

Sour cream is my preferred ingredient and it's also the most common.

Ricotta is by far my favorite soft cheese but it doesn't give the pizza that special "sour" taste that white pizza needs to compensate for not using the traditional tangy tomato based sauce.

  • 6 oz. Mozzarella shredded

Yes, you can sub in sliced fresh mozzarella if you feel like getting fancy.

  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tomato * optional medium- sliced thin

👨🏿‍🍳 Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F or (175°C).
  • Whisk together eggs and mayonnaise until well combined. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes so the psyllium husk fully absorbs the liquid.

It's important to let this dough rest for a few minutes so that the psyllium husk powder can soak up the liquids. Gather your toppings to save time or make the pesto at this point.

  • With oiled hands, spread out the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper into a 12 inch circle. It shouldn't be thicker than ½ inch (1 cm).

A lot of low carb recipes recommend using a rolling pin and putting the dough between parchment paper for this step. You can do this but I prefer using my hands.

  • Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown; don't burn it. Remove from oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Turn crust out onto a cutting board and remove parchment paper.
  • Mix sour cream (or ricotta if substituting) and pesto together. Then spread onto the crust.

Top with cheese and tomatoes. Add additional toppings like fresh basil, olives, pepperoni or broccoli and mushrooms if desired.

  • Place pizza back onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper and return to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and turns a light golden brown. Don't let the crust burn! (Burnt almond flour sucks.)
  • Let cool and slice into 8 pieces like a pie. Serve or store in the fridge for 4-5 days as desired.

📋Recipe Tips

  • Reheating the low carb white pizza:

You can reheat this pizza in the toaster oven or air fryer for best results. Using the microwave will give you floppy leftovers.

I occasionally enjoy cold pizza from the fridge when I need a quick snack. It was a staple in college and takes me right back to those days.

  • You can make the crust ahead of time:

If you are a meal prepper you can make this crust ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for a couple of days before topping and baking.

  • You can freeze the pre-baked crust wrapped in cling-wrap for up to two months.

When you remove it from the freezer, bake for 10 minutes @ 350F to get it crispy and then top and continue baking until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

  • Serve with a side salad to make it a meal:

We have some quick side salads that are easily made ahead and store well:

  • Greek Salad
  • Bacon Broccoli Salad
  • Roasted Cauliflower Salad
  • Faux-tato Salad

That's it for the Low Carb White Pizza!

I know that using mayo in the crust sounds...weird. I'm okay with sounding weird...it's good.

Cheers Cool Kids!
