MEATZZA RECIPE (MEAT-CRUST PIZZA)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 14-inch rimmed, non-perforated pizza pan with a circle of high-heat-resistant parchment paper. You can also use a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment and make the pizza a bit smaller in diameter.
• On the prepared baking sheet, flatten the ground beef into a very thin, large circle - make it as thin as you can (1/8-inch thick is good). I use a rolling pin to roll it as thin as I can, then use my fingers to spread it evenly so that it covers the entire pan.
• Sprinkle the ground beef with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
• Bake the meat crust in the preheated oven until fully cooked. If rolled thin, this should take about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and switch the oven to broil. By now, the meat crust has shrunk and is sitting in a pool of cooking liquids. Carefully transfer it, using two wide spatulas, to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Spread the meat base with pizza sauce, then sprinkle the cheese evenly on top. Add your toppings. Return to the oven and broil just until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. You can also bake in the 400F oven for 5 more minutes instead of broiling, but I do like the way broiling crisps up the meaty edges.
• Allow the meatzza to rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into 8 triangles and serving.

Top with beef mixture, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, olives and cheese. , Bake at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.

NO DOUGH MEAT CRUST PIZZA FOR THE LOW CARB DIETER

MEAT CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Brown ground beef. Put beef in a large bowl & mix well with 2 cups of low-fat mozzarella cheese. Spread mixture out like a pizza crust on a cookie sheet or a baking stone.
• Put 1 cup pizza sauce on the mixture. Ragu is ok.(pizza sauce, no sugar in it.) Top with 1-2 cups of low-fat shredded mozzarella. Top with canadian bacon and or low fat pepperoni slices. I usually just use the canadian bacon. Optional toppings: onions, peppers, anything legal that you like on pizza. Cook 15 minute or so (when top cheese starts to brown it is done). Put foil on rack below to catch any drippings.

LOW CARB PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees and position one rack to the bottom position and the other to the upper third.
• Low Carb Pizza Crust: Microwave the cheeses in a microwave safe bowl for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes, stirring half-way through. Scrape melted cheese into the bowl o a food processor with the egg and process until combined. Add the dry ingredients and process again until thoroughly combined.
• If the dough is very warm and sticky, scrape it onto a piece of plastic wrap and place into the freezer until the oven is ready. The dough is very sticky by nature, but oiling your hands makes it manageable. (If the dough is cool to the touch, skip the freezer.).
• Hand Method: Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan and with oiled hands, pat the dough evenly into place. I prefer to oil my hands. the dough will cover most of the sheet pan. Dock (poke holes all over) with a fork.
• Rolling Pin: Alternately, roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper. This is my preferred way. Remove the top piece of parchment and transfer the dough and parchment to the baking sheet. Dock (poke holes all over) with a fork.
• Bake: Bake on the bottom rack for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and rub the crust with a piece of garlic. Spread the tomato sauce onto the pizza and top evenly with cheese. Add the pepperoni. Bake on the upper rack until the cheese has melted.
• Cut into 6 pieces and serve. Makes 1 very thin sheet-pan pizza, 1 12-13 inch pizza or two very thin 10 inch pizzas. The serving size is 1/6 of the recipe.
