Let’s be real. Most “high-protein” pizza recipes are a disaster. They call for protein powder in the dough, and the result? Rubbery, dry, and weirdly sweet pizza that tastes nothing like the real thing. This recipe fixes that.
We’re using real flour + a mix of high-protein keto flour to maintain the taste and texture of classic pizza dough but with way more protein. And we’re not using any tomato sauce, we’re upgrading to Sturdy Marinara Sauce to get the extra clean protein you need.
Each personal pizza has a whopping 49g of protein and ~575 calories!
What You’ll Need
For the Dough (Makes 2 Personal Pizzas)
- 150g bread flour
- 50g keto flour mix (for extra protein & structure)
- 4g salt
- 4g instant yeast
- 170g warm water
For the Toppings :
- ⅓ cup of Sturdy Marinara Sauce
- 56g fresh mozzarella
- 28g nonfat ricotta
- 14g freshly grated Parmesan
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil
For the Garlic Butter (Optional but amazing)
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Pinch of salt
How to Make It
- First, make the dough. Mix bread flour, keto flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add warm water and mix until it forms a rough, sticky dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the water.
- Knead the dough until smooth, about five minutes. Cover and let it rise for 2 to 3 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the dough. Lightly dust a surface with flour. Divide the dough into two equal balls. Cover and let them rest for 45 to 60 minutes to make stretching easier.
- Then, gently stretch each dough ball into a 10-inch pizza. Spread Sturdy Marinara Sauce evenly. Add mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, and black pepper.
- Preheat your oven to 500°F. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden.
- Finally, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and salt and brush the crust with the garlic butter. Then, bake for 1 to 2 more minutes.
- Sprinkle with fresh basil. Slice and enjoy.
