Keto Thick Broccoli Pizza Crust

Depending on where you’re from, thin-crust pizza just might not be cutting it for you. How can you enjoy a thick-crust pizza without overloading on carbs from doughs made with almond flour? Your greens are going to save you. This thick pizza crust is made almost entirely from broccoli. Prep the broccoli pizza crust the day before you want to bake it - most of the preparation time comes from freezing the crust! The broccoli crust tastes great topped with marinara sauce, sliced veggies, or diced meats. Don’t forget to add a layer of melted cheese to your pizza when baking!

You’ll Notice This Preparation Is Different From Most Pizzas

In order to make this pizza crust, you can’t follow the typical way of making pizza dough. In fact, this isn’t a dough at all and more like a pizza ‘batter’. The broccoli has to be blended into teeny, tiny little pieces that turn into a smoother mixture. This way, your baked crust is even, consistent, and won’t break off into pieces once it’s out of the oven. If you don’t like rolling out pizza dough, use this recipe to save you some grief in the kitchen!

Pizza Topping Ideas

What tastes good on top of a pizza crust made almost exclusively from broccoli? Try a combination of marinara sauce, diced chicken breast, and a layer of cheddar and colby cheese. Do you like BBQ pizzas? Swirl in a teaspoon of barbecue sauce to your red sauce to bump up the flavors. If you don’t want the carbs of a tomato sauce, switch out the red for an alfredo white sauce (just use the Carb Manager Alfredo Sauce recipe). Keep it all green by opting for a scratch-made basil pesto sauce instead of red or white. If you’re vegetarian, sliced mushrooms, peppers, or sauteed spinach would make delicious toppings on a broccoli crust pizza.
