Ingredients
- 1 low carb pizza crust
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- Remove the low carb pizza crust from its packaging and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on a preheated pizza stone.
- Using the back of a spoon, spread the pizza sauce evenly across the surface of the crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese uniformly over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Distribute the pepperoni slices across the cheese layer, spacing them evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and olives on top of the pepperoni, creating a colorful and flavorful topping.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the entire pizza to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the crust are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Slice the pizza into 8 equal pieces and serve hot. Optional: Garnish with fresh basil leaves or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Tips
- Preheat for Perfection: Always preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) before baking. If you have a pizza stone, let it heat up in the oven for an extra crispy crust.
- Spread the Sauce Evenly: Use the back of a spoon to spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust. This ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
- Layer Wisely: Start with cheese as the base layer, followed by your toppings. This helps keep the toppings in place and prevents a soggy crust.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add your favorite low-carb vegetables or swap out the pepperoni for grilled chicken or sausage.
- Watch the Clock: Keep an eye on your pizza while it bakes. Ovens can vary, so check for that golden brown crust and bubbling cheese around the 12-minute mark.
- Let It Cool: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set and makes for cleaner slices.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Consider adding fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes after baking for an extra kick of flavor.With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to mastering the art of low-carb pizza-making. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
