NO DOUGH PIZZA LOW CARB CREAM CHEESE PIZZA CRUST
Low Carb The "Crust" is soft so this is actually more of a casserole dish but the flavor is there. I used Minced Garlic from a Jar rather than Garlic Powder. For the Pizza Sauce I used leftover Kittencal's Pizza Sauce Recipe #65641 that had been frozen after a previous pizza prep . This recipe was Posted On Facebook by a Friend of a Friend of a Friend!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper. With a handheld mixer, mix cream cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and parmesan cheese until combined. Spread into baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow crust to cool for 10 minutes.
- Spread pizza sauce on crust. Top with cheese and toppings. Sprinkle pizza with garlic powder. Bake 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted.
LOW CARB PORK RIND PIZZA CRUST
Some of you may be averse to using pork rinds, but I promise you, you won't taste them in this recipe. The pork rinds mainly act as a binder for the pizza crust and there are virtually NO carbs! I will never EVER go back to regular pizza dough again! To make the pizza topping as low as possible in carbs, I made the topping as a "white" pizza - sauteed spinach, seasoned pan roasted chicken and mushrooms. This should satisfy every low-carb eater's pizza craving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and position one rack to the bottom position and the other to the upper third.
- Low Carb Pizza Crust: Microwave the cheeses in a microwave safe bowl for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes, stirring half-way through. Scrape melted cheese into the bowl o a food processor with the egg and process until combined. Add the dry ingredients and process again until thoroughly combined.
- If the dough is very warm and sticky, scrape it onto a piece of plastic wrap and place into the freezer until the oven is ready. The dough is very sticky by nature, but oiling your hands makes it manageable. (If the dough is cool to the touch, skip the freezer.).
- Hand Method: Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan and with oiled hands, pat the dough evenly into place. I prefer to oil my hands. the dough will cover most of the sheet pan. Dock (poke holes all over) with a fork.
- Rolling Pin: Alternately, roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper. This is my preferred way. Remove the top piece of parchment and transfer the dough and parchment to the baking sheet. Dock (poke holes all over) with a fork.
- Bake: Bake on the bottom rack for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and rub the crust with a piece of garlic. Spread the tomato sauce onto the pizza and top evenly with cheese. Add the pepperoni. Bake on the upper rack until the cheese has melted.
- Cut into 6 pieces and serve. Makes 1 very thin sheet-pan pizza, 1 12-13 inch pizza or two very thin 10 inch pizzas. The serving size is 1/6 of the recipe.

LOW CARB PIZZA WITH PORTABELLA MUSHROOM CRUST!
Feels like you're cheating and actually eating pizza! A must try and soooo simple too. Please if possible use pizza sauce made by L. E. Roselli's. It's their Low Carb Pizza Sauce and only has 2 carbs for 1/4 cup!! It's the best sauce I've found. I buy it by the case and one jar is enough to do 4 BIG Portabella Pizzas. They are located in N.J. but I get it at my local Low Carb store here in Florida. Get the sauce!! It makes the pizza. Serve with a nice big green salad.

LOW CARB CRISPY CARBQUICK PIZZA CRUST RECIPE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:
- Instructions: Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit a 14 to 15-inch round pizza pan. Spray the pizza pan with cooking spray to help the parchment stay put. Place the parchment paper in the pan. Whisk cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Add remaining ingredients except mozzarella until well combined. Stir in mozzarella. Drop the dough by large spoonfuls all over parchment-lined pan. Cover with two sheets of plastic wrap that have been crossed so that the entire surface is covered. With rolling pin, roll dough to the edges of the pan making it an even thickness. Remove plastic wrap. With a rubber spatula, push the dough up and away from the edges of the pan by 1/4-1/2″. If the dough goes all the way to the edges, it can bubble over in the oven or go under the parchment paper. Bake at 400 degrees 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes or chill several hours (can probably be wrapped and frozen at this point, but I haven\'t tried it). Add toppings and bake at 375 degrees about 15-20 minutes longer or until toppings are bubbly and slightly browned. Recipe courtesy of Tova Industries, makers of CarbQuik Low Carb Baking Mix.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper out for baking sheet if you are making one large crust. For individual pizzas (this will make 4) no need for extra parchment- just flip them over with a spatula after 15 minutes of baking.
- Mix cheese, eggs, flax, coconut flour, and baking powder together until a sticky wet dough is formed. Spread with a spatula or with dampened hands to ¼ inch thickness on a baking sheet lined with one piece of parchment paper.
- Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven. Halfway through the baking process, flip crust over by sliding it off the baking sheet with the parchment paper, placing the second piece on the sheet, and turning the crust over unto the new sheet and peeling the old paper off. Return to oven until done baking.
- Remove from oven, slide off of parchment paper, and flip over again for cooling.
- Once crust is cooled, top with sauce, pre-cooked veggies or meats, and cheese. Set crust with toppings under the broiler on high for a minute or two until cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Mix dry ingredients together.
- Add wet ingredients, and mix very well.
- Let sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- Spread on pan (I put it on a silicon mat or greased parchment paper).
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through, then add toppings and cook until they are done.
Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to make the dough. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the dough is smooth and evenly mixed.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to relax and become easier to work with.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the counter or rolling pin.
- Don't roll the dough too thin. Otherwise, it will be difficult to transfer to the baking sheet without tearing.
- Bake the pizza crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Keep an eye on the crust so that it doesn't burn.
- Top the pizza crust with your favorite toppings and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Low-carb pizza crusts are a great way to enjoy your favorite pizza without all the carbs. They are also a good option for people who are on a ketogenic diet or who are simply looking to reduce their carb intake.
