Keys for Making the Best Cauliflower Pizza Crust

There are a few important tips you should know when making a keto flatbread or pizza crust. A truly cheese and cauliflower-based crust like this one is enhanced by proper cooking time and technique. To make the best possible keto pizza crust:

1. Bake the Crust in a Vented pan First – Using a vented pizza pan in the oven will help to crisp up all sides and surfaces of your delicious pizza or flatbread crust.
2. Don’t Skip the Bake and Wait – Pre-baking the crust allows mozzarella to crisp and firm up inside the base. Then waiting 10 minutes before topping lets the cheese set and cool a bit to better hold your toppings. So don’t skip waiting!
3. No Soggy Pizza Please – While we love all toppings, try to avoid wet toppings like too many vegetables that will release water and make the crust soggy. Instead stick to things like cheeses, meats, and fresh herbs if you’re worried about a soggy base.
4. Quick Broil to Avoid Burning – No matter how many times we say it someone will forget. Please do not try to race the broil oven and finish a task before times up. While we love a timed challenge, leaving your pizza unattended under broil is sure to cause a blackened dinner.

The Best Keto Pizza Toppings

• Pesto and Chicken – Instead of traditional sauce try pesto, fresh mozzarella, and chicken.

How to Make Keto Breadsticks with Cali’flour Foods

Making a keto-friendly pizza is pretty simple with the premade cauliflower crusts by Cali’flour Foods. We’re going to show you how to make something a little bit different now… Keto Breadsticks.

Ingredients

The ingredients are very straightforward for this recipe. You’ll need two Cali’flour foods pizza crusts. We like using the plain crusts. You will also need 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Making the Low Carb Breadsticks

Now for the fun part. Use the same preparation method as described above for making a pizza. Bake the crusts in the oven on a baking rack for about 10 minutes. Slightly less than you would for a normal pizza. Once the crusts are cooked, but not yet browned, removed them from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, begin adding the cheese and seasonings to one of the crusts. Place the other crust on top of the cheese, creating a cheese layer between the two crusts. Now return to the oven until the cheese is fully melted. This should take about 5 minutes.
