Carnivore Pizza Crust recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or another ground meat like pork or chicken)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, if dairy is allowed)
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, if dairy is allowed)
- 1/4 cup beef tallow or butter (for greasing and moisture)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with beef tallow or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella (optional), salt, pepper, and garlic powder (optional). The egg will help bind the meat together and give it some structure, while the cheese adds richness and flavor.
- Mix everything together until it’s fully incorporated. The mixture should be firm but slightly moist. If it feels too wet, you can add a bit more cheese or a little beef tallow to adjust the texture.
2. Shape the Pizza Crust:
- Transfer the meat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a spatula to flatten the meat mixture into a round or rectangular shape, depending on your preference for pizza.
- Press it down firmly to ensure that the crust is uniform in thickness. Aim for about 1/4-inch thickness, as this will help it cook through evenly.
3. Bake the Crust:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meat crust for 20-25 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through. The edges should be crispy, and the center should be firm.
- Check the crust after 15 minutes and press gently with a spatula to make sure it’s not too soft or undercooked.
4. Add Toppings (Optional):
- Once the crust is done, you can add carnivore-friendly toppings like cooked bacon, pepperoni, sausage, or more cheese (if allowed on your diet). Simply top with your choice of meat and cheese, then return the pizza to the oven to melt the cheese for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- For a creamy touch, you can also add a drizzle of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream if it’s allowed on your carnivore plan.
5. Serve:
- Once your Carnivore Pizza Crust is baked and topped to your liking, slice it up and serve it hot. This zero-carb crust is full of flavor and perfect for anyone following the carnivore lifestyle.
