How to Make Lupin Flour Pizza Crust

The steps are simple, and I’m outlining them below, but be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to view the full, printable recipe card.

​STEP 1 – PREHEAT OVEN

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

STEP 2 – MELT CHEESE

Add the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave-safe bowl and warm in the microwave for 45 seconds on medium. 

Take it out, give it a mix, and put it back in for another 30-45 seconds. Take it out and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

STEP 3 – MAKE DOUGH

Once the cheese has cooled down, whisk the egg in a small bowl and fold it into the cheese mixture.

Then add the Kaizen lupin flour, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Knead it into a ball of dough and let it rest.

STEP 4 – ROLL DOUGH

Next, place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll it out so that it becomes a thin pizza crust.

​STEP 5 – BAKE

Remove the top parchment paper and set the pizza crust on an oven tray or pizza pan, keeping the bottom parchment paper underneath.

Place the pizza crust in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

STEP 6 – ADD TOPPINGS & BAKE

When your pizza crust is done baking, take it out and add your favorite toppings. Then bake it again for another 8-10 minutes.

Pro Tip: Your pizza can take longer or shorter to bake, depending on the thickness of your crust and the toppings you’ve added. So, make sure you stay close by to check on it every few minutes.

STEP 7 – SERVE & ENJOY

Once your pizza toppings are hot and bubbly, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool before serving. 

ENJOY!

Tasty Low-Carb Pizza Toppings

Not sure what toppings are low-carb and keto-friendly? Believe it or not, you aren’t as limited as you might think. Here are some great topping ideas that won’t get your macros out of whack.

Protein: Choose lean proteins like grilled chicken, bacon, pepperoni, and sausage. You can also add some nuts, like pine nuts or walnuts for an extra crunch!

Veggies: Lots of veggies are great for keto pizza, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, and onions. Don’t forget about fresh tomatoes, too!

Cheese:  Cheese is obviously a must-have for pizza, and luckily, there are many cheeses that are low-carb friendly, like mozzarella, cheddar, goat cheese, and blue cheese.

Storage

​Store any leftover lupin flour pizza crust in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.

To reheat, this pizza can be placed in the microwave for 30 seconds per slice. Or you can place it in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes until heated through.
