Lazy Keto Homemade Pizza Recipe

Instead of ordering pizza from outside, why don't make some this MCO? Because I'm always looking at something therapeutic to do which can double as a family activity.

Ingredients

2eggs and make up to 100ml with water 

160 g all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)

60g coconut flour (I used 1/2 pack of pizza base premix from GojesAtkinsFood)

1 and 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast 

1/2 Tablespoon (6.5g) granulated sugar

1 Tablespoons (30ml) olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

Sprinkle of cornmeal/ground oats for dusting the pan

*Tips*

If you are adding coconut flour to a gluten-free flour blend or substituting it for flour in a regular recipe,  substitute coconut flour for up to 20% of that blend. The liquid and/or fat combination needs to be increased by about 20% (fat preserves the long term moisture of the final baked product). 

Coconut flour typically call for a lot of eggs. Every 1/4 cup (30.8g) coconut flour typically requires one egg for both moisture and structure.

When storing coconut flour, it’s best to keep it airtight and refrigerated since coconut flour absorbs moisture.

I made my dough and left it to rise for 1hour using Kenwood BM250 breadmaker- function 8 (dough). I love it because I hate kneading dough. The dough should rise to double its size then it's ready!

On a lightly floured work surface using rolling pin, gently flatten the dough into a disc. 

Place on prepared pan and, using lightly floured hands, stretch and flatten the disc into a 12-inch circle. 

Lift the edge of the dough up to create a lip around the edges. Let the dough rest for 15mins for preparing for the toppings.

Preheat the oven at 250 degrees Celsius fan forced.

To prevent the filling from making your pizza crust soggy, brush the top lightly with olive oil.

Using fork to dent into the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling. 

Fresh and messy straight from the oven! Just how I love it. I made small individual pizzas as finger food.

Top with your favorite toppings and bake for 12-15 minutes. 

Alternatively, if you don't like the bread like consistency of the loaf, make and bake the dough using option 7 of Kenwood BM250 bread maker. 

Slice the loaf and place your toppings and bake them for another 10minutes! It becomes a bruschetta instead.

To make savoury pizza, place halved cherry tomatoes, sliced button mushrooms and coarsely chopped prawns on a bed of cheddar slices with ketchup and sprinkle a generous amount of mozarella cheese on top.

To make sweet pizza, replace the ingredients with  cheddar slices, chocolate spread, ripe banana slices and mozarella cheese.
