This recipe makes a 12 inch diameter pizza with a total of 20 net carbs. If sliced into 8 pieces, each piece has about 2.5 net carbs.
Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 pack)
2 eggs
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese (powdered not fresh)
1/4 t. garlic salt (or table salt)
1/4 c. flax meal (aka ground or milled flax)
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten*
1 T. baking powder*
1/2 cup almond or hazelnut meal/flour
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings (add the carbs)
Equipment:
Non-metal mixing bowl
Cookie sheet
2 pieces of parchment paper
Rolling Pin
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In mixing bowl, microwave cream cheese for 30 seconds to soften. Whisk with eggs. Stir in remaining ingredients except mozzarella. Add mozzarella cheese. At this point, you may need to mix by hand.
Roll dough into ball and place in between two large sheet of parchment paper. Using rolling pin, flatten dough (between parchment papers) until between 1/4 and 3/8 inch thick. Remove top layer of parchment paper. Place pizza dough with bottom parchment paper onto cookie sheet.
Do not add topping yet. Bake crust at 400 degrees for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden. You want the dough done but not dark brown. Remove from oven. Add desired sauce and toppings. Return to oven for another 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
*If you prefer, you can use 1/2 cup of carbquik baking mix instead of the wheat gluten and baking powder.
