INGREDIENT NOTES:
KETO LAVASH BREAD:
- The thin, crisp base of keto Lavash bread bakes quickly and maintains its lightness. It maintains a low-carb content without sacrificing the authenticity of pizza. It also retains toppings well as long as you don’t overload it.
MUSHROOMS:
- Melted cheese pairs well with the rich, earthy flavor of mushrooms. Cook them first to remove excess moisture to keep the crust crisp. Any kind will work, from button to cremini.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- The pizza has a soft, stretchy texture due to the smooth melting of the mozzarella. Low-moisture mozzarella helps to avoid the sogginess. You can add a small amount of cheddar if you want a sharper flavor.
KETO PIZZA SAUCE:
- Use a thin layer of keto pizza sauce to keep the Lavash firm while adding flavor without adding additional carbs. Select a sugar-free brand for optimal effects.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil adds a subtle flavor and aids in the browning of the edges. Additionally, it prevents the crust from drying out. An excellent alternative is avocado oil.
GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder helps keep the crust crisp by adding flavor quickly without adding moisture. It goes well with mushrooms and cheese. Use a light sprinkle to avoid overpowering the pizza.
ITALIAN SEASONING:
- Italian seasoning uses herbs like oregano and basil to give pizza a traditional flavor. It enhances flavor without requiring additional ingredients. Add more if you want a more potent herbal note.
SALT & PEPPER:
- The flavors remain sharp and well-balanced because of salt and pepper. A tiny bit is sufficient since the cheese already contains salt. Freshly cracked pepper adds a brighter finish.
