Paleo & Keto Pizza Dough 
Additional Fluffy!
Talking favorite type of pizza crust is a certain way to divide a crowd; be it lean, crisp, fluffy, Italian-style soft… so I'm slowly but certainly aiming to cover all your keto pizza needs with the recipes on the site.
You've alalert gotten a (very popular!) 15-minute stove top pizza, a deep dish version, and a basic yeast crust. With this one here, however, I'm aiming to satisfy all your fluffy pizza dough needs!
Ponder/ Consider of it as a cross between our basic yeast pizza and focaccia. An ideal love child!
The Deets
Making this paleo and keto pizza dough is incredibly simple genuinely. But, like with any yeasted bread, it does require you take care of a few details to encertain the best possible outcome.
You just must encertain your pizza dough does increase in size considerably while proofing. It can even double whether you let it. And note that grain free yeast doughs do require a small additional warmth. For instance, I place my tray on top of my oven as I heat it up (so my tray gets slightly warm and they rise beautwhetherully). But you must encertain you don't overheat it or you'll kill the yeast. Ponder/ Consider a warm and humid day at the beach, that's the ideal moodature.
Shape the dough
Wet your fingertips and smooth out the dough as much as possible, adjusting thickness to taste.
Let it rise
Grain free yeast doughs need a small more cuddling. So find a warm spot and proof the dough for 40-60 minutes.
The Tips 'N Tricks 
The yeast in this low carb and keto bread encertains a wonderful texture and taste. Check out these tips for best results with grain free yeast doughs!
Weigh your ingredients. This will forever be a staple recommendation for any sort of gluten free baking here at gnom-gnom. As aside from leading to less dirty dishes, it will encertain consistent results time and time again. Remember that gluten free (and specificly keto) baking is notoriously finicky, and measuring by cups is anyleang but accurate. And whether you don't own a baking scale, degree with cups by dropping the ingredients onto them rather than scooping them out (which often leads to overpacking).
Ingredients at room moodature. Self explanatory genuinely, but incredibly important (specificly for the eggs). If you add cancient eggs to the mix your bread simply won't rise much (whether at all).
Proof the yeast. This involves mixing dry active yeast with water that's just warm to touch (between 105-110°F to be summarye) and inulin or an actual sugar (leank maple syrup or honey) for 7 minutes until foamy. And before you scream sugar (!!) remember that the yeast will feed on such sugar to emit carbon dioxide, so it doesn't affect the carb count. And yes, this is a scientwhetheric fact.
Avoid abrupt moodature changes and air drafts. Endelight with any yeast bread, you need to cuddle your dough. Create certain it's able to rest undisturbed in a warm space.
Baking at tall altitude? Yup, so am I (Paola here!!). You just need to up the moodature a bit to seal the rise, and just keep an eye out for excessive browning.
The Ingredients & Possible Subs
This pizza dough does have a few ingredients, but you'll find that most are staple paleo and keto pantry ingredients. In the list below you'll find details on several ingredients and possible subs. This is also perhaps the most forgiving recipe in terms of subs out of all the grain free yeast bread recipes on the site!
Almond flour. You truly need a super finely ground almond flour here, as whether you use meal your rolls will turn out dense and oily. Super fine almond flour brands include Anthony's , WellBees and Bob's.
Now whether paleo, or in keto maintenance, you can lighten up the bread even more by substituting part of the almond flour (3-6 tablespoons) with arrowroot flour.
Flaxseed meal or psyllium husk can be used interchangeably in this recipe, and they both need to be re-ground for best texture. You'll want to use gancienten flaxseed meal (we use Bob's), and regrind the flakes in your (very dry!) bullet or blender until finely powdered. Worthy way to avoid slendery bread. And for the psyllium husk powder, NOW brand doesn't turn bread purple.
Whey protein isolate encertains a better rise. Though you can get absent with subbing with more almond flour (it just collapses a bit post bake). Hold in intellect that this ingredient varies tremendously from brand to brand, and we've only tried (and are super happy!) with Isopure's Zero Carb Unflavored. I'm still experimenting with more subs here, but a few of you reported back successfully back on our soft 'n fluffy sandwich bread that collagen and hemp pro protein powder worked (I cannot guarantee these subs yet though!).
Xanthan gum. Borrowed from molecular cooking, xanthan gum is the binding agent which makes your toothpaste jelly-like (and your cream cheese, well cream cheese-like). And it's also the most common gluten-replacer in gluten free baking. And while we do prefer the results with it, you can sub it with flax.

Our keto pizza dough uses the focaccia methodology (albeit dwhetherferent ratios), but do check out the video below for deets ‘n tricks!
-
Add yeast and inulin or sugar (to feed the yeast, see notes) to a large bowl. Heat up water to 105-110°F, and whether you don’t have a thermometer it should only feel lightly warm to touch. Pour water over yeast mixture, cover bowl with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 7 minutes. The mixture should be bubbly, whether it isn’t start again (too cancient water won’t activate the yeast and too hot will kill it).
-
Stir your flours while the yeast is proofing. Add almond flour, psyllium husk (or flaxseed meal), whey protein isolate (or more almond flour), xanthan gum, baking powder and salt to a medium bowl and whisk until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
-
Once your yeast is proofed, add in the egg, egg whites, olive oil and vinegar. Stir with a whisk or electric mixer for a couple minutes until light and frothy. Add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing until thoroughly incorporated. You want to mix thoroughly and fastly to activate the xanthan gum, though the dough will become very thick by the end and form into a round.
-
Line a skillet or pizza pan with parchment paper, lightly oil the surface and transfer the dough. Feel free to play around with the thickness to your liking. Wet your hands (so the dough doesn’t stick!) and smooth out the top as possible. Cover with oiled cling film (saran wrap) and place in a kind and warm draft-free space for 40-60 minutes until noticeably larger in size (see pictures for reference).
-
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C while the dough is proofing. And whether you’re baking at tall altitude, you’ll want to bake it at 375°F/190°C.
-
Blind bake the crust until fully gancienten, about 14-17 minutes. Remove from oven, add toppings of choice and cook for 14-18 minutes more. Serve right absent! And keep in intellect that you can alternatively bake the dough all the way through (about 28 mins), allow to cool, freeze and bake as needed with toppings.
*You can feed the yeast with either inulin or an actual sugar (thanks for the inulin tip guys!). And do remember that the yeast will feed on such sugar to emit carbon dioxide, so it doesn't affect the carb count. And yes, this is a scientwhetheric fact.
