Ketogenic Friendly Pizza made with Flaxseed Flour - [Video Recipe]
Since it's the weekend, let's once again go non-technical...
Over the past couple of weeks, I tried many iterations of ketogenic friendly pizza. One with fluffy crust, another with psyllium husk and almond flour, another with almond flour and thin crust, another whey-based crust. And here, I'm presenting the recipe for the one with crust made of flaxseed flour.
What is flaxseed flour? It's basically finely ground flax, that has been defatted (it had its fat removed).
The options for ultra low carbohydrate pizza are basically endless. I've just tried a few. And to be honest, all of the them taste much better than the conventional high-carbohydrate wheat pizza. They are more dense and the texture is richer.
For the flaxseed flour pizza, I've chosen the following ingredients for the crust:
- 60g flaxseed flour
- 4g baking powder
- 1 whole egg
- 150ml water
And for the toppings:
- 30g tomato sauce
- 40g green olives
- 40g sausage/salami
- 20g cheese
The crust was somewhat thicker, which makes me think of reducing the flaxseed flour to half when I do this recipe the next time. It's gonna be even lower in carbohydrates. But, I'm not really sure if this matters because most of the flaxseed flour is fiber either way.
Anyway, please watch the video below for the entire recipe walkthrough, and let me know what you think. The macros for the (entire) pizza are on the screen.

This I need to try! Did you ever try to take flour out and replace it with protein powder as an experiment? I did make a couple of times meatzza, instead of the dough I put mince meat. It is good :)
Yes, the last one was with unflavored whey protein isolate. And it went great! I tried another one with cheese+egg crust. That was also great. I havent tried meatzza yet, but I definitely will!
I love homemade pizza, I have never tried to use flaxeed flour, I hope it has a good taste. Can I have a slice, pls? :D
Come on over! Sure you can have!
Its very nice taste...i ll try it at home...thanks so much @cristi

Could you use a flax egg instead of a regular egg? I just ground up a bunch of flax for this purpose :)
