How to Make a Low Carb Pizza Crust

Since I originally posted this recipe, there have been new methods of making a low carb pizza crust.
Some of these methods sound better than others to me.

However, I stick with this recipe when I am looking for a standard recipe to stand back on.
This pizza recipe is the most like a standard pizza crust recipe. While I may use other recipes from time to time, this one will remain my standard low carb pizza crust recipes.

The secret to making a low carb pizza crust is certainly in the main ingredients that are used.

When you make a normal pizza crust you are usually using flour, yeast and water. While some crust recipes may vary, these are the usual ingredients that you will find in a pizza crust recipe.

In this recipe we will be using a low carb flour alternative.
My low carb flour of choice is Carbalose flour.
This is a low carb flour alternative that I use quite often in baking. Carbalose is as a wheat flour substitute because it behaves like wheat flour yet, without most non-fiber carbohydrates. You can find Carbalose flour online.

How to Make a Low Carb Pizza Crust

I have adjusted the amounts of other ingredients to fit the use of this flour substitute.
While I will use one packet of yeast in a normal pizza crust, I will double that in this recipe. This is due to the suggestion of the manufacturer as Carbalose reacts a bit differently to yeast. This addition really is no big deal.

What you will need to How to Make a Low Carb Pizza Crust

  • Carbalose flour (see above)- 2 ½ cups divided
  • Yeast (active) 2 packets (.5 ounce)
  • Salt (Kosher preferred)- 2 teaspoons
  • Warm Tap Water- 1 cup + additional if needed

 

How to Make a Low Carb Pizza Crust

  • Prep your pizza pan for nonstick. I use parchment paper as it makes baking and transferring the pizza easier.
  • Start my stirring together the yeast and warm tap water in your mixing bowl. Allow this to sit for a few minutes in order to activate the yeast.
  • Next, add the flour to the bowl. We will start by slowing adding 2 cups of the flour. Then we will any additional later on if the dough seems loose or sticky. Also at this time, add the salt to the bowl.
  • I suggest using a dough hook attachment with your mixer if you have one. Use a slow to medium speed on the mixer as well. If your dough seems to not wanting to form a bowl after a minute of mixing you can add a tablespoon of additional flour to the bowl as it mixes. You can repeat this last step as needed.
  • While your dough is mixing take a new bowl and use olive oil or baking spray to coat the inside of it. When your dough has formed a ball you can remove it from the mixing bowl and transfer it to the bowl that you just transferred it to. Cover the bowl loosely with a dish towel and place the bowl somewhere to allow the dough to rise. I put my dough somewhere high in my kitchen.
  • When the pizza dough has doubled in size, about an hour, you can remove it from the bowl and transfer it to a flat surface that you have lightly dusted with a bit of flour. Roll the dough out, dividing it if necessary for size.
  • Now, preheat your oven to 425  and prep a pizza or similar pan for nonstick. I use parchment paper since it makes it ever so easy to transfer the pizza and clean up after making it. I actually roll the dough out from the last step on to the parchment paper and transfer it to the pizza pan using the parchment paper to do so.
  • Top your pizza as desired and bake until it appears to turn brown.

 

Tips: Some folks cut down the yeast to one packet and add a bit of sugar to allow the yeast to activate. However, sine this is a low carb recipe, this is not the best idea. Also, adding a tablespoon of olive oil (and thus taking out a tablespoon of water) is a way to make a more moist crust as well.

    can I use carbquick instead of carbalose flour since it has this flour already in it?

      Hi- Carbquick has a Leavening agent already in it. You could make a crust however, I would omit adding any yeast or other leavening agent. The crust will also be a bit more 'biscuit-like' in taste and texture.Thanks

    I am not good at making my own dough. Is there something else I could use - like pre-made low-carb dough?

    Thanks.

      Hi. You could use Carbquick Baking mix to make a crust that would be like a baking mix crust. This would not be a yeast-based recipe that you would need to let rise. Simply follow the directions on the box for making a pizza. thanks

    Hi, I unfortunately have a very low income, so getting special ingredients like the flour tippy mentioned here isn't a splurge I can afford (nor can u find it locally. I rely on food stamps to buy my food, which Amazon doesn't accept lol). Can I use almond flour instead?

    • SFD

      March 3, 2018 at 11:04 am

      Hi. The thing about almond flour you will need to use a 'binder' as almond flour is gluten free. Examples of this would be 'xanthan gum' or 'guar-gum' added. When I use almond flour, I have to experiment with the recipe until I get the right balance. It can be done however.
      thanks
