Low Carb Fiber Packed Pizza Crust With Excellent Texture And Rise Food

LOW CARB PIZZA

Steps:

• 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.
• Remove crusts from oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• 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.

LOW-CARB, FIBER-PACKED PIZZA CRUST WITH EXCELLENT TEXTURE AND RISE

Steps:

• In small bowl, add water, yeast, and honey and gently stir. Let yeast activate until the mixture has bubbled and doubled in size.
• In a stand mixer, mix the egg and ghee/butter for 1-2 minutes. Then add the remainder of the ingredients and continue to mix. Slowly add the yeast mixture. You should notice that a sticky dough quickly forms. Continue to mix for 3-4 minutes until you form a nice dough.TIP: Be careful not to over-mix, which you'll know has occurred if your dough is not easy to form into a ball in the next step.
• Form the dough into a dough ball and place on a plate. Cover the dough with a greased sheet of plastic wap. Allow the dough to rise for ~2 hours in a warm place. If you have the time, you can also let the dough perform a cold rise by sticking the dough in the fridge for 12+ hours. A cold rise can help the flavors to develop in the dough.TIP: In a rush? Bring a cup of water to a boil and place it next to your dough in a small space such as your oven or microwave. This will help to expedite the rising process.
• After the dough has risen, you can either press it or roll it to form your crust.
• Top the pizza with your sauces and toppings of choice, bake for 12-15 minutes at 350F (or toss it on the grill, if that's your thing), and rejoice in the fact that you've found a low-carb pizza option that we don't think you'd ever know was low carb!
