Everyone loves pizza. It makes a great low maintenance meal and a fun night in if you couple it with a film or a dusted-off board game to keep you entertained as the nights draw in. If you are eating keto, low carb, or paleo, you may think pizza is off the menu, but that's where we can help! We have two great ready-made pizza base options (Paleo or Keto) for those who are short on time, and two bake-your-own packet mixes (Paleo or Keto) for those who like to bake from scratch without having to search for all the ingredients!
Take fresh seasonal ingredients for toppings, make simple salads, add olives and dips, and voila - DIY Pizza Night never looked so good! Here are some easy topping ideas to keep it real and on track, and most of all tasty AF...
Method:
The basis of every pizza is a simple tomato sauce. We like to make our own sugar-free version. You can use a jar of passata for speed, but it's just as quick and easy to whizz up your own, and it makes a huge difference with the addition of herbs.
This recipe makes 80 ml of pizza sauce which covers 4-6 pizza bases.
