Keto Pizza — common questions

Can I make the crust ahead and freeze it?

Yes, prepare the crust through step 4, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen at 200°C for 25-28 minutes before adding toppings.

Why is my crust soggy?

You didn't squeeze out enough moisture from the cauliflower rice. Go back and squeeze it harder with the towel until almost no liquid comes out; this is the single most common mistake.

What can I use instead of cauliflower?

Finely grated zucchini works but must be squeezed even more thoroughly; almond flour mixed with extra cheese creates a denser, more crumbly crust (use 60g almond flour, 250g cheese, 1 egg).

Can I make this in the air fryer?

Yes, bake the plain crust at 190°C for 12-15 minutes, add toppings, then air fry for 5-7 minutes more until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are crisp.

What should I serve with keto pizza?

A side salad with olive oil vinaigrette, garlic bread made from mozzarella, or keto-friendly garlic knots complement it well; avoid carb-heavy sides.

How do I reheat leftovers?

Place in a 180°C oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese re-melts and the crust regains crispness; the microwave will make the crust rubbery, so avoid it.
