KetoConnect.net blew everyone's minds with this chicken/egg/parm pizza crust.  Not only is it quick and easy, but it's also very delicious!  Boasting a hefty 17g fat and only 1 net carb for the crust, it's the newest rage in the Keto world.

Go to their website for the recipe and how-to video for this amazingly simple creation.  The recipe is printable, too!

Here's the recipe I use for pizza sauce:

8 oz. can of tomato sauce
7.5 oz. can of undrained tomatoes (I like fire-roasted)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 Tbs. dried basil ~ crushed
1 Tbs. dried oregano ~ crushed
1 tsp. sugar (I use an equivalent measure of Equal, rather than sugar)
2 cloves garlic ~ minced1/4 tsp. pepper

Add all of the above ingredients to a cold pot on the stove. 
While bringing the mixture to a boil, crush the tomatoes in the pot with a potato masher. 
Once you've got a boil going, reduce the heat to a simmer.  Cover. 
Cook about 10 minutes, remove the lid.  Onions will be tender.  
Cook on a slow simmer to reduce sauce to a thickened consistency, perfect for spreading on the pizza crust.  Taste as you go, adjust flavors/spices as desired.


How to fit this pizza crust into your diet:

Keto - weigh your toppings, pay attention to your macros, and enjoy.
Paleo - I don't know if you can have this crust due to the Parmesan cheese (let me know in the comments below); you might be able to enjoy the delicious sauce, though.  As with any diet, it's always a good idea to check your guidelines.  Here's a link to the source I use frequently:  http://paleogrubs.com/paleo-diet#8
Whole 30 - follow Whole 30 guidelines.  Due to the cheese, this style of crust may be off-limits while you're on the program but, again, you may be able to enjoy the delicious sauce on top of a salad. Sans sugar and sugar substitutes, of course.



🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴 - This recipe rates all 5 out of 5 Mmms because it's delicious and performs as advertised.

Mmm! Dinner!
