What am I doing right now?
Not much, just drinking a can of diet ginger ale and eating some Keto Sausage Crust Pizza.
Why am I drinking ginger ale?
Because I saw the most amazing ad for Canada Dry the other day. I joined a Facebook group that shares 1960's and 1970's advertising, and this little beauty popped up in my feed. (below) It's a vintage commercial full of swinging singles sexily sipping soda. The tagline is "Canada Dry. One gulp is for thirst, the other gulps are for kicks.". Groovy, man.
Also groovy, is this Keto Sausage Crust Pizza.
It's a "meatzza" if you will. The crust is made from a combination of turkey breakfast sausage, egg, oat fiber and mozzarella cheese.
What kind of low carb toppings can you use on this meat crust pizza?
If it's low carb, you can put it on a Keto Sausage Crust Pizza. Options include: pepperoni, ham, chicken, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, garlic, tomato, basil and of course, more sausage. The sky's the limit when you're making a meatzza.
And one slice of this low carb sausage crust pizza clocks in at just 1g net carbs. Very groovy indeed.
You know what they say about meatzza, "The first bite is for hunger, the other bites are for kicks.".

Can I substitute almond flour or another flour for the oats?

Sure, or you can leave it out.
Tara says
Do you cook the sausage first?
EmilyKrill says
No, you don't need to brown the sausage first. Just form the sausage mixture into a crust and bake it for 20 minutes. Then top the pizza with your toppings, and bake it for another 20 minutes. The sausage will be completely cooked through after baking for 40 minutes.
Sarah says
Do you absolutely need to use oat fiber? I don’t have any and I can ant to make this tonight.

No, it's fine to leave it out. It just improves the texture of the crust.
