Low-Carb, Fiber-Packed Pizza Crust with Excellent Texture and Rise

Step 1

In small bowl, add water, yeast, and honey and gently stir. Let yeast activate until the mixture has bubbled and doubled in size.

Step 2

In a stand mixer, mix the egg and ghee/butter for 1-2 minutes. Then add the remainder of the ingredients and continue to mix. Slowly add the yeast mixture. You should notice that a sticky dough quickly forms. Continue to mix for 3-4 minutes until you form a nice dough.TIP: Be careful not to over-mix, which you'll know has occurred if your dough is not easy to form into a ball in the next step.

Step 3

Form the dough into a dough ball and place on a plate. Cover the dough with a greased sheet of plastic wap. Allow the dough to rise for ~2 hours in a warm place. If you have the time, you can also let the dough perform a cold rise by sticking the dough in the fridge for 12+ hours. A cold rise can help the flavors to develop in the dough.TIP: In a rush? Bring a cup of water to a boil and place it next to your dough in a small space such as your oven or microwave. This will help to expedite the rising process.

Step 4

After the dough has risen, you can either press it or roll it to form your crust.

Step 5

Top the pizza with your sauces and toppings of choice, bake for 12-15 minutes at 350F (or toss it on the grill, if that's your thing), and rejoice in the fact that you've found a low-carb pizza option that we don't think you'd ever know was low carb!
