Pork Rind Crust Carnivore Pizza

Pork Rind Crust Carnivore Pizza

A low-carb, high-protein pizza that’s crispy, cheesy, and entirely carnivore-friendly. Perfect for keto or carnivore diets.

📋 Ingredients

Crust:

• 1½ cups pork rinds, crushed (about 3 oz / 85g before crushing)

• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded and melted

• 1 large egg

• ¼ tsp salt (optional, depending on saltiness of pork rinds)

Toppings:

• 2–4 tbsp low-carb tomato sauce (optional for strict carnivore)

• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

• ½ to 1 cup cooked meat toppings of choice (e.g. pepperoni, Italian sausage, ground beef, bacon)

🔧 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the Crust Dough
   In a mixing bowl, combine:

   • Crushed pork rinds

   • Melted mozzarella

   • Egg

   • Salt

   Mix well until a sticky dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands or a spatula.

3. Shape the Crust
   Transfer the dough to your prepared baking sheet. Flatten it out into a round or rectangular shape, about ¼ inch thick. You can use wet hands or parchment paper on top to press it evenly.

4. Bake the Crust
   Place the crust in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and slightly crisp.

5. Add Toppings
   Remove from the oven and add your:

   • Optional tomato sauce

   • Mozzarella cheese

   • Cooked meats

6. Bake Again
   Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

7. Cool & Serve
   Let the pizza cool for 3–5 minutes before slicing. This helps the crust firm up.

🍽 Tips & Variations

• For a zero-carb carnivore version, skip the tomato sauce and use only cheese and meats.

• Want extra crisp? After the first bake, flip the crust before adding toppings and bake another 2 minutes.

• Add herbs like oregano or garlic powder to the crust if you allow seasonings in your version of carnivore.
