👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Cheese Crust

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

3. In a bowl, mix:

   • 2 cups mozzarella

   • 1 cup cheddar

   • 1 egg

   • Optional spices

4. Spread mixture into a round pizza shape (thin for crispy, thick for chewy).

5. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden and set.

2️⃣ Add Toppings

1. Cook bacon until crispy and chop.

2. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese/ricotta (optional).

3. Add extra mozzarella on top.

3️⃣ Final Bake

❓ Q/A Section

Q1: Can I make this 100% carnivore without spices?

Yes!
Just remove garlic powder + Italian seasoning. The pizza still tastes amazing with only cheese + bacon.

Q2: Can I use only mozzarella for the crust?

Yes.
Cheddar just makes it crispier. Mozzarella-only gives a slightly chewier crust.

Q3: My crust came out too soft—why?

Common reasons:

• Too thick

• Not baked long enough

• Not cooled before slicing

Fix: Bake longer at 425°F until golden and edges darken slightly.

Q4: Can I air-fry the crust?

Yes!
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–12 minutes, then add toppings and air fry 2–3 more minutes.

Q5: What meats can I add to make it extra carnivore?

Try these:

• Italian sausage (cooked)

• Ground beef

• Chicken pieces

• Steak strips

• Pepperoni

• More bacon (always allowed 😎)

Q6: Will the crust hold like real pizza?

Yes — as long as you let it cool 5–7 minutes.
Hot cheese = floppy
Cooled cheese = firm, crispy edges

Q7: Can I store or reheat it?

Fridge: 3 days
Freezer: 2 months
Reheat: Oven or air fryer for best texture
(Microwave makes it soft)
