WHEAT PIZZA CRUST
from Dottie
2 eggs (1.2g)
3T canola oil
1/2 cup heavy cream (3.3g)
1/2 cup hot water (110-120f)
1tsp salt
1T wheat gluten (1g)
1 tsp sugar**
2 tsp active dry yeast (2pkts can be subbed)
1/2 cup wheat bran (8g)
2/3 C oat flour (30g)
1/2 cup Atkins bake mix (6g)
- Bring all ingredients to room temperature.
- Spray your cookie sheets or pizza pans with Pam.
- Using a hand mixer, beat eggs well; then add in the oil, salt, gluten, and sugar & blend thoroughly.
- Beat in the cream, hot water and yeast.
- Let sit and proof for 20 minutes.
- Mix together & beat in all the dry ingredients.
- This makes a thick, cake like batter. Pour it on cookie sheets or pizza pans & let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 - 1 & 1/2 hours. You will probably need to smooth the batter to the edges with the back of a spoon, as it will be thin initially.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Should be browned nicely and pulled away from edges some.
- Let the crust cool, then add toppings.
- Bake topped pizza until cheese gets bubbly (but no more than 20 minutes, or bottom may burn).
**The sugar is completely burned off during the yeast action.
The entire batch has 50g of carbs.
It makes 2 crusts that fit a 9X11 cookie sheet; 8 slices per crust; 2 slices per serving; 6.25g per serving.

CATHY'S PLATE PIZZA
A lowcarb classic
All you need for this one are your favorite pizza toppings; however, cheese is a must.
If you plan to cook this in a microwave oven, use a microwave safe plate. If you plan on using a conventional oven, you can use a pie plate or cookie sheet. Also, you can prepare it in advance, let cool, cut into slices, freeze them and later re-heat in the microwave. Best to spray your plate / pan with Pam.
- First, spread shredded mozzarella on your plate / pan.
- Top with your favorite pizza topping stuff. MAKE SURE IT IS ALL PRE-COOKED, since this does not bake for long.

MEATZZAS
(These use a meat 'crust')
VERSION 1:
combine in a mixing bowl:
1 egg, beaten
1/3 - 1/2 cup crushed pork rinds
1.5 pounds ground beef - this gets a little greasy as it cooks, so use very lean ground beef.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly, form into a ball and place it in the center of a cookie sheet. NOTEs: use a pan with a high lip & if you use a pizza pan, don't spread the meat to the edge or you'll have a REAL mess on your hands. Form the meat mixture into a 'crust.'
- Bake on 300 for about 20 minutes, or until firm; bake for 30-40 minutes to get 'crispy crust'.
- Drain the juice from the cookie sheet and pat the 'crust' dry with a paper towel.
- Top the crust with low carb goodies.
- Back into the oven until cheese bubbles.
~~~~~
VERSION 2 --- BK's Mexican Meatzza
- Mix a packet of taco seasoning with the meat & spread it into 'crust' shape & thickness.
- Cook it, as above.
- After the meat 'crust' is cooked, spread a little salsa on it, then some mexican cheese, some olives and diced tomatos and bake until cheese is melted.
- Serve with some sour cream and / or guacamole or diced avocado.
~~~~~
VERSION 3:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb sausage
16 oz mozzarella cheese (grated)
1 cup Ragu pizza sauce
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Brown the ground beef with the sausage. Drain Well.
- Combine 8 oz of the mozzarella cheese with the cooked meat.
- Pat into a 'crust' on a baking sheet or use a 10 x 15 baking pan; when the mozzarella melts it binds the meat together - voila crust.
- Spread pizza sauce over meat base.
- Add additional toppings: bacon, ham, canadian bacon, pepperoni, onion, olives, peppers, mushrooms, whatever you like. Evenly spread remaining 8 oz of cheese over top.
- Bake at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.
>>>>>
Portabella Pizza
Portabella mushrooms are huge and very "meaty"; and they make a great 'base' for pizza toppings.
- Cut the portabella mushroom stems & place the mushrooms, gills up, on your baking sheet / pan.
- Top them with low carb sauce, sausage, tons of mozarella... whatever you want on your "pizza".
- Bake until cheese gets bubbly.
