How do you make low carb pizza?

Then cover the base with the tomato sauce, vegetables, grated mozzarella and salami. Put the topped pizza back in the oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and has reached the desired browning. Your low carb pizza dough recipe is ready!
Is the low carb pizza also suitable for people with gluten intolerance?
Yes, the low-carb pizza dough is a great option for people with gluten intolerance because, unlike traditional pizza dough, it does not contain wheat flour.
The base is instead made from eggs and cheese, making it naturally gluten-free. However, make sure that the other topping ingredients are also gluten-free to ensure that the entire pizza is suitable for you.
How many carbohydrates does one serving of the low carb pizza recipe contain?
The exact carbohydrate content may vary depending on the topping used and the amount. If you follow our suggested low carb pizza recipe exactly, one serving will contain around 14 grams of carbohydrates. This is significantly less compared to traditional types of pizza.
Can I prepare low carb pizza in advance and freeze it?
Yes, the low carb pizza is good for preparing and freezing. You can let the low carb pizza dough cool completely after baking, then cut it into portions and freeze in airtight containers or freezer bags.
When you want to enjoy the pizza, you can take it straight from the freezer, top it with your favorite toppings and bake it again. However, note that the topping may take a little longer to melt if the pizza comes straight from the freezer.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat and line a baking tray with baking paper or use a (coated) oven-safe pan. In a bowl, stir the cream cheese and eggs together well with a fork, then add the grated cheese and mix everything thoroughly.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet or place it in the ovenproof (coated) pan. Please note that the dough is still relatively liquid, but will become firm after baking. Bake the pizza base in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until it is golden brown. Meanwhile, wash and chop your vegetables as needed.

Notes and tips
- Experiment with different vegetables to discover new flavor combinations for your low carb pizza dough recipe.
- For a shake pizza, simply mix all the ingredients (dough and toppings) and bake everything together at once. This is a little quicker because you don't have to bake the dough first and then add the toppings, but do everything at once.
- Of course, low-carb pizza dough cannot replace a typical pizza made with flour 1:1, but it is a wonderful alternative if you want to eat a lower-carb diet AND crave a pizza.
