If you are a regular follower of the Ketolicious Kreations page on Instagram and Facebook, you will know that my family have a pizza night every Saturday night. It's a tradition we started years ago and the whole family loves it. While the rest of the family has the same pizza toppings every single week, I rarely do. I enjoy creating my pizzas out of what I can find in the fridge. I love using leftovers and coming up with a delicious new topping.

Lately pizza nights have been a struggle for me though because I'm now on an elimination diet to find my triggers for Rosacea. That means no dairy, tomato, bacon, ham, chorizo and so much more! All the yumminess that makes a pizza so so delicious. Not to mention that fathead pizza base was my go to and that's made predominately of cheese!

So, I've made it my mission to come up with an easy but tasty dairy free pizza base. One that still enables me to pick up an actual slice and eat it.

Honestly, I don't think this recipe could get much easier. Throw it all in the Thermomix bowl, or a regular mixing bowl, and combine...that's it! Rather than use a rolling pin to roll out the dough, I place a wooden chopping board on top and push down with all my body weight. This results in a perfectly round base!!

A little bit on the ingredients for you -

Almond meal is my go to for keto baking. It just works so well! I haven't tested nut free yet (it's on my list!) but I imagine golden flaxseed powder would be perfect.

I always, always use large free range eggs at room temperature when I cook.

I added nutritional yeast flakes to the base for a bit of a cheesy flavour and for some extra goodness. Nutritional yeast flakes are packed full of B vitamins and are so good for us.

I used extra virgin olive oil as that's what I had to hand but I imagine most oils would work.

You get four serves out of this pizza which is plenty in my opinion. Once the toppings are added it can be quite filling.

My struggle with toppings at the moment is real. It's hard to think of a yummy combination of toppings and still have that kind of creaminess that cheese gives a pizza. I will release the toppings of this pizza separately to this post. For those who would like to know now though, I used pesto for the base, then baby spinach leaves, smoked salmon, a small amount of red onion and cracked an egg on top. The egg gave it the perfect amount of creaminess that cheese usually would and it was honestly delicious!
