A perfect low carb pizza base - An amazing discovery!

A Perfect Low Carb Pizza Base!
Carbs: 5.82 approx (Base only)

Since I started Keto - which has been one of the best health decisions of my life - I've been craving pizza. I've been on a mission to find a replacement, and I think I may have achieved something magical here.

Here is a list of all the different pizzas I've tried since starting Keto.

• Ground Beef base Meatzza
• Cauliflower base pizza
• Almond base pizza
• Lunch Meat snack size pizza
• Gammon (Ham) steak meatzza
• Oopsie bread base pizza

As you can see there have been a few variations!

I've not found a pizza that is satisfying my pizza craving (even tho the gammon meatzza tastes amazing!)

Until Now...

I made oopsie bread for the first time today and decided to put a pizza on the top of it. Although it was "ohh kaaay" it had its faults. the base wasn't very strong, it burnt easily.. it wasn't right. but it was the closest to real "bread" I've eaten so far.

I decided to do some experimenting - I had some ideas in my head already, but wasn't sure on the finer details of the recipe, but i threw some stuff into a bowl and started making magic!

What You Will Need

• 50g Ground Almonds
• 2 Medium Eggs
• 90g Cream Cheese
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• half teaspoon cream of tartare
• 50g grated cheese (Optional, but i thought "why not?")

Method

1. Preheat oven to 150C (About 300F)
2. Line an 8 inch cake tin with grease-proof paper
3. Throw all the ingredients into a bowl at the same time.
4. Mix with electric whisk until everything is mixed together.
5. Pour into your cake tin
6. Bake for about 30-40 minutes (Just keep an eye on it - i've only done this the once)
7. Leave to cool and transfer onto a baking (cookie) tray.
8. Add your toppings (I'll leave this up to you!)
9. Back in the oven to melt the cheese and warm through.

Madness

It's as simple as that. It tastes great! very bread like, and very filling.

The "bread" can easily be used for other things - sandwiches etc.

As you can see - the base is rather thick

And makes a lovely round pizza.

The ULTIMATE Meatzza

The ULTIMATE Meatzza

I've always been a big fan of pizza, and has been one of my greatest losses since starting a ketogenic lifestyle. I've tried recipes and experimented a plenty, but today I believe I've come up with the ultimate meatzza!

Ground beef meatzzas - that I have found at least - have not really held their form, and I usually end up with a bit of a mess. A tasty mess, but a mess non the less. Cauliflower based pizzas are just the same, except for the taste. These just end up as a mess. I've even tried ground almond based pizzas which held their form rather well, however the taste was overwhelming and very dense. I even tried coming up with my own mini pizza bites - which were great, but something wasn't quite right.

Gammon. I had some gammon steaks sitting in my fridge the WHOLE TIME! Why didn't I think of this before? I got so excited about the idea I had to phone home and tell someone.

Start up by frying your gammon steak - i also fried up some mushrooms in the same pan

Once cooked, place on a baking tray and cover with tomato sauce of your choosing.

I went for a mix of tomato puré and olive oil to help thin the tomato as it's quite high in carbs (per 100g)

Cover in mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, and mascarpone. Or any other topping of your choice.

I then broiled the meatzza in the oven for 5-10 mins. I didn't time it, i just looked at it to see if it was done.

Voilà! Meatzza done! It was very robust and easily moved to one's plate.

The best part - it tasted amazing! Definitely my new go-to meat pizza!

Im not going to provide nutrition info as each meatzza will be different. I hope that if any of you give it a shot that it turns out great, and please please comment below to let me know how you got on!
