Craving Pizza? Low Carb Flatout Pizza

Pictures and nutritional info at pizza for days. We used to get pizza once a week and although we got the “healthy” kind (thin crust, veggies, with half the cheese), it still wasn’t that good for us.

I’ve been thinking about how to recreate this and although I’ve seen lots of cauliflower crust, meat crust, ground chicken crust etc. recipes, they seemed a bit contrived. So I tried this with Flatout bread and it actually worked out very well. The nice thing about individual serving pizzas is that I was able to make one with just pepperoni and cheese for my son at the same time.

Makes 2 sleever servings, 1 serving for a non-op

Ingredients

• 1 piece of Italian herb flatout bread (I got it at Tom Thumb but wal-mart carries it too)
• 2 tbsp ready-made pizza sauce (you need so little it’s hardly worth making your own I think)
• 10 slices pepperoni
• 1/8 c diced onions
• 1/8 c diced tomatoes
• 1/8 c diced mushrooms
• 1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese

You can substitute other toppings of course, but the nutritional info on the site is for the ingredients listed above

Method

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Place flatout bread directly onto the rack. Do not put on a cookie sheet
3. Cook for 5 minutes. It will be fairly crisp by this point.
4. Remove from oven, spread sauce and cheese, and spread toppings
5. Carefully put it back into the oven, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted and the toppings appear wilted
6. Cut into pieces and serve. I was only able to eat 1/2 of one.
