Craving Pizza? Low Carb Flatout Pizza

[gamergirl 4,610]

Pictures and nutritional facts at pizza for days. We used to get pizza once a week and although we got the “healthy” kind (thin crust, veggies, with half the cheese), it still wasn’t that good for us.

I’ve been thinking about how to recreate this and although I’ve seen lots of cauliflower crust, meat crust, ground chicken crust etc. recipes, they seemed a bit contrived. So I tried this with Flatout bread and it actually worked out very well. The nice thing about individual serving pizzas is that I was able to make one with just pepperoni and cheese for my son at the same time.

Makes 2 sleever servings, 1 serving for a non-op

Ingredients

• 1 piece of Italian herb flatout bread (I got it at Tom Thumb but wal-mart carries it too)
• 2 tbsp ready-made pizza sauce (you need so little it’s hardly worth making your own I think)
• 10 slices pepperoni
• 1/8 c diced onions
• 1/8 c diced tomatoes
• 1/8 c diced mushrooms
• 1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese

You can substitute other toppings of course, but the nutritional info here is for the ingredients listed above

Method

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Place flatout bread directly onto the rack. Do not put on a cookie sheet
3. Cook for 5 minutes. It will be fairly crisp by this point.
4. Remove from oven, spread sauce and cheese, and spread toppings
5. Carefully put it back into the oven, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted and the toppings appear wilted
6. Cut into pieces and serve. I was only able to eat 1/2 of one.

Tell you what purée comes close to if. Try googling eggface ricotta bake. So good! And satisfied my "Italian" craving early on.

I make the same thing but use Hormel turkey pepperoni. You get 17 pieces for 70 calories and 9g of Protein I have a pizza stone, and heat it in the oven, then throw my flatout (I like the multigrain) on it for about 5 minutes. I pull it out, put my sauce and toppings on it, and bake it until the cheese is bubbly. It makes the crust super crispy! I can only eat half, but my kiddo is always happy to eat the other half as a snack. It's great and I don't have to feel guilty about it

I will take you up on that. I live in the south and all the food recipes from my NUT totally reflect that. I am Italian and I don't eat some over processed cheese spread....but ricotta is good any day!

Oh good! Here's another puree that I just loved. I made up the recipe but it worked out well.

Low carb tortillas work well too for a thin crispy crust

Do you crisp then up first like with the flatout?
