2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
I love using high-fiber bread as the base for this pizza, but feel free to experiment with different types of bread or low-carb alternatives.
The key is to find a bread that holds up well to the toppings and cheese.
For the cheese, I recommend using a combination of ricotta and mozzarella for the perfect balance of creamy and melted.
Don’t forget to add some fresh basil and garlic for added flavor and texture!

Chef Sofia’s Tested Swaps (High-Protein · Keto/Low-Carb · Air Fryer)
• High-Protein Boost: Swap ricotta cheese for cottage cheese for an extra 5g of protein.
• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Replace bread slices with low-carb tortillas or portobello mushroom caps for a low-carb option.
• Air Fryer Option: Cook the pizza in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
