Keto Pizza
Prep Time

Prep Notes
I've put this in the Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner categories because who says you can't have pizza for Breakfast!?
This pizza base is so yummy, you'll never miss pizza again. You can make a few bases ahead of time and put them in the freezer so it's a quick meal for busy nights.
The toppings are totally up to you but be wary of the base sauce. A lot of pizza sauces have added sugar. I have used Gevity Rx's BBQ sauce and it's delicious as a pizza sauce. I have these available in my clinic for purchase if you can't buy them locally.
I have provided both stovetop/microwave and thermomix directions. Enjoy!
Cooking Time
12 minutes for the base. 5-10 more minutes if topping.
