On a low carbohydrate diet, the thing I miss most is pizza. But as with everything else, you just have to find a substitute.
Pizza Dough
-
1 ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (168 g)
-
2 tbsp Cream Cheese (28 g)
-
¾ cup Almond Flour (84 g)
-
1 pinch Garlic Salt
Toppings
Season your crust before adding toppings.
-
Mozarella Cheese
-
Your favorite meats
-
Your favorite veggies
-
Low Carb Pizza Sauce
Directions
-
Plan ahead for the pizza toppings that you will use. Pre-cook any raw ingredients so that they are ready to go. You’ll have some time to dice veggies while the crust is baking.
-
Put your baking sheet in the oven Preheat to 450 degrees F.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl,combine mozzarella and cream cheese.
-
Microwave for 15-30 seconds at a time, and stir with a fork until combined
-
Once combined add in the almond flour. Knead the almond flour into the cheese and make it into a well-blended ball of dough.
-
Place your ball of dough on a large piece of parchment paper. Use another piece of parchment paper and a rolling pin to flatten out your dough. I try to get my dough down to about 1/8″ to 1/4″ thick. (Save the second piece of parchment paper, you’ll need it later)
-
Pinch the crust edges up to hold the toppings.
-
Season your dough with basil and garlic. Poke holes all around your crust and put in the oven.
-
Bake the dough for 8-10 minutes until you get a nice dark brown bottom. Remove from the oven.
-
Move your cooked dough onto the other parchment paper
-
Start with the sauce and add your toppings.. top with cheese.
-
Bake or broil your pizza for another few minutes until your cheese is melted and starts to brown.
