Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.25 cups Almond Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder heaping teaspoon
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese
  • 4 oz Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese or other grated cheese
  • 2 each Eggs
  • 20 each Kalamata Olives, Whole or black olives
  • 4 oz Broccoli Florets thinly sliced
  • ¼ lbs Chicken Breast free range
  • ½ tsp Italian Seasoning
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Rosemary whole or crushed

Equipment

  • pizza pan or cookie sheet, measuring cup, fork, knife, cutting board, medium-sized microwavable bowl, oven, microwave

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to regular bake at 350°F
  2. In a medium bowl, add the cheese and microwave for about 30 seconds until soft. Blend together with a fork. Whip in the eggs until blended.
  3. In the measuring cup, combine the almond flour and baking powder.
  4. Add these dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, plus herbs/spices and the sliced Kalamata olives. Mix until blended.
  5. Thoroughly grease a cookie sheet or non perforated pizza tray.
  6. Place about 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a small bowl, dip a silicone spatula into the bowl and grease a rimmed baking sheet. Use said spatula to scoop out the dough, dipping frequently to spread it onto the tray ~ about ¼ inch at the thinnest.
    I like making a square -- good template for creating plain “bread sticks” or pizza squares.
  7. Add your favorite toppings. I tend to use chopped steamed broccoli and chicken. **Omit toppings to keep carbohydrates and protein lower for a more ketogenic pizza.**
  8. Bake for 12-18 minutes. Keep a nose out and watch for a very slight golden brown color to appear - that means it’s done.

Programming Notes:
  • If the dough is refrigerated it will not rise as high, even when brought up to room temp before baking.
  • If you're looking for a nut-free flour, Cassava flour (yucca) is delightful and a 1:1 substitute for regular baking flour. It is not Keto approved because it has more carbohydrates.
  • If you're strictly adhering to a keto diet: Be SURE to calculate your macronutrient breakdown to ensure you have a 4:1 or 3:1 ratio of fat to protein/carbs.
    • This recipe -- with all the toppings -- has about  369 kcal from FAT our of 511 per serving. (72.2% fat) You may need to add more oil or remove some chicken to increase that %.
