Tips on how to make the best keto sheet pan pizzas

Tip 1 – the base or the dough of this keto pan pizza is made with mozzarella cheese. As you already know, you can buy two types of mozzarella cheese. The mozzarella in balls and the mozzarella in the log form. For this recipe, you should consider using the mozzarella log as the mozzarella balls are packed in liquid and may bring too much of the liquid into your dough.

Tip 2 – the key in making a quality pizza dough is melting your cheese the right way. The mozzarella must be completely melted in order to blend perfectly into the pizza dough. Therefore, you should melt the mozzarella in a microwave in 30 second bursts until completely runny. Then add in the rest of the dough ingredients and mix well for the best keto pizza dough.

Tip 3 – This low carb pizza recipe uses a low carb store-bought tomato sauce. However, if you want you can use a fresh homemade tomato sauce by processing a few tomatoes yourself. If you want to go this route, then simply peel the tomatoes, chop and process until smooth.
