Pizza has always been my weakness, yummy goodness of cheese, the tangy sauce combined with Paneer, capsicum and onions toppings all grilled to perfection, oh its just heaven on an oven plate :D. So why should I give it up while on Keto, especially when eating Cheese is guilt free on Keto :D. Believe me, Keto Pizza is an incentive which can drive you :-P
I have tried a lot of recipes for Keto pizza base and all of them have come right back out of my mouth. The egg ones are too eggy, cauliflower ones are bland and so tediouuuus (serious who has the time to make this one?), I gave up! Then I realized, I have made plenty of pizza from scratch before, I can easily come up with a keto version myself and I did!
This Keto pizza base, is the best tasting Keto pizza crust on the planet :D! Frankly, I couldn't believe how well this turned out to be :D I am so happy, Yeeiii!
In this recipe, I make Tandoori Paneer pizza from scratch with my special Keto pizza crust and home made Keto Pizza Sauce. This recipe has very simple ingredients, it is easy to make, infact easier than the non-keto versions :-P I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
