LOW CARB PORK RIND PIZZA CRUST

Low Carb Pork Rind Pizza Crust image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
salt to taste
½ cup pork rinds, crushed, or more to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Combine mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and salt in a bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or an immersion blender until well combined. Add 1/2 cup pork rinds and mix with a spoon until well combined. Add more pork rinds if needed to form a dough.
Form dough into a large disc, or divide into smaller portions if desired. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to make it easier to roll.
Roll dough between 2 large pieces of parchment paper. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until slightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. If the crust is greasy, use a paper towel to mop up some of the grease during baking to get a crispier crust.
Remove from the oven and let cool. At this point your crust is ready for topping and final baking.

Tips:

Use a food processor to grind the pork rinds into a fine powder. This will help the crust to be more cohesive and less likely to crumble.
Add some grated Parmesan cheese to the pork rind mixture. This will help to add flavor and richness to the crust.
Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough and chewy.
Press the dough into a greased 9-inch pizza pan. Make sure the dough is evenly distributed and that the edges are well-sealed.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
Top the crust with your favorite pizza toppings and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Pork rind pizza crust is a delicious and low-carb alternative to traditional pizza crust. It is easy to make and can be topped with your favorite pizza toppings. This recipe is perfect for those who are following a low-carb diet or who are simply looking for a healthier pizza option.
