Low Carb Pizza


Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups soy flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup club soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/8 cup diced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 3 large Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 8 ounces no sugar added tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (may substitute Italian seasoning for dried herbs)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Toppings:

  • 24 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 ounces pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Italian sausage, cooked
  • 1/2 cup diced Parma ham
  • 1/3 cup julienned red bell peppers
  • 1/3 cup julienned green bell peppers
  • 1/3 cup julienned red onion
  • 2 portobello mushroom caps, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Pinch dried oregano

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
    Make the crust: Generously spray 2 (12-inch) pizza pans with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together all of the crust ingredients to make a smooth, thick, pancake-like batter. Using a rubber spatula, spread the batter as thin and evenly as possible over the 2 pans.
    Place pizza crusts on center racks of the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to touch.
    Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat
    olive oil and then sweat onions and garlic in oil, cooking just until softened and translucent. Add diced tomatoes and the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 2 minutes.
    Compile the pizzas: Spread the tomato sauce and then the mozzarella cheese evenly over both crusts. Top 1 pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and ham, and top the other with the bell pepper strips, onions, and mushrooms. Lightly sprinkle 1 tablespoon olive oil over each pizza, and sprinkle each with a dash of dried oregano.
    Place the pizzas back in the oven to bake for another 10 to 12
    minutes, or until the cheese melts and starts to brown. Cut each pizza into 8 slices.

Too much fat. It has almost my fat limit for a whole day not to mention over 300 calories.
