Low Carb Pizza Dough Recipe With Yeast Food

LOWER CARB PIZZA DOUGH (TWO 14

Steps:

• In a large bowl add salt, sugar, olive oil, and optional garlic powder to the warm water.
• Add Bread Flour and Yeast and stir until combined.
• Add Vital Wheat Gluten and combine as much as possible.
• Turn mixture out on a well floured surface and scrape any unincorporated ingredients from the bowl on top of the mixture.
• Knead 1/4 turn at a time with your palm until the mixture is no longer sticky and is very elastic-- this usually takes about 3-5 minutes and 1/2 cup flour.
• Note that the amount of additional flour required will depend on how much humidity your ingredients have absorbed-- You may need more or less than 1/2 cup.
• Put 1 Tbs of olive oil in your large bowl then swirl it around the bottom and half way up the sides.
• Put the dough in the bowl, then turn it over, cover and let it rise in a warm place.
• After it doubles, punch it down, turn it over, cover, and let it rise again.
• Cut the dough in half and place in freezer bags-- if using immediately, place half the dough on prepared pizza pan without punching it down so that it will be easier to spread out.
• To use frozen dough, let it thaw in the freezer bag then place in a bowl, cover, and allow it to rise in a warm place before placing on a pizza pan prepared with cooking spray.
• Since this dough is very elastic, I spread it out with my fingers as much as possible, then let it rise a little and spread it some more-- this seems easier than rolling it.
• Prick the dough with a fork to avoid bubbles, add your favorite sauce, pizza ingredients and cheese.
• Bake in a hot oven, 450°F, until the cheese and the edge of the crust are lightly browned and cut the pizza into slices.
• Notes: The "cooking" time is an estimate of time for rising; The nutritional information is for one slice of pizza crust assuming that each pizza is sliced into 8 pieces.

PIZZA CRUST - LOW CARB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper out for baking sheet if you are making one large crust. For individual pizzas (this will make 4) no need for extra parchment- just flip them over with a spatula after 15 minutes of baking.
• Mix cheese, eggs, flax, coconut flour, and baking powder together until a sticky wet dough is formed. Spread with a spatula or with dampened hands to ¼ inch thickness on a baking sheet lined with one piece of parchment paper.
• Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven. Halfway through the baking process, flip crust over by sliding it off the baking sheet with the parchment paper, placing the second piece on the sheet, and turning the crust over unto the new sheet and peeling the old paper off. Return to oven until done baking.
• Remove from oven, slide off of parchment paper, and flip over again for cooling.
• Once crust is cooled, top with sauce, pre-cooked veggies or meats, and cheese. Set crust with toppings under the broiler on high for a minute or two until cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice and serve.

EASY PIZZA DOUGH WITH INSTANT YEAST

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cup (187.5 g) of flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
• Add olive oil and warm water and use a wooden spoon to stir well very well.
• Add any additional flour as needed, stirring until the dough is forming into a cohesive, elastic ball and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will still be slightly sticky but still should be manageable with your hands.
• Drizzle a separate, large, clean bowl generously with olive oil and use a pastry brush to brush up the sides of the bowl.
• Lightly dust your hands with flour and form your pizza dough into a round ball and transfer to your olive oil-brushed bowl.
• Allow dough to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. If you intend to bake this dough into a pizza, I also recommend preheating your oven to 425F (215C) at this point so that it will have reached temperature once your pizza is ready to bake.
• Once the dough has risen, use your hands to gently deflate it and transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth (about 3-5 times). Use either your hands or a rolling pin to work the dough into 12" circle.
• Use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the pizza to keep the dough from bubbling up in the oven.
• Add desired toppings and bake in a 425F (215C) preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until toppings are golden brown. Slice and serve.
