Notes

Keto Pizza Recipe with Mozzarella Crust: Tips and Tricks

* This recipe requires you to own a microwave oven. In case you do not, don’t fret. You can melt the mozzarella in a non-stick frying pan on low heat (stirring continuously).

* If you are not confident you want to put the mozzarella in the keto pizza dough, you can add it as a layer over the crust, just like you do with regular pizza.

* Keep in mind that mushrooms leave a lot of water behind and you may see your pizza swimming in a sea of mushroom soup. To avoid this, you can sauté the mushrooms in a bit of vegetable oil in a frying pan and put them as a topping once they have no water left.

* If you cannot find supermarket olives with no pits, you can use olives from a can, but you have to remove their pits with a knife.

Bon appétit!
