ALMOST NO CARB PIZZA RECIPE

ALMOST NO CARB PIZZA RECIPE

Note: this almost no carb pizza recipe is perfect for low carb or ketogenic diets.

A few weeks ago I started following the Atkins Program. I was doing well with it and felt fantastic but I had 1 problem – carb and fruit cravings. While I felt that the Atkins program works for some people, I also felt that obviously, my body was telling me something because the carb cravings were so strong I could have eaten a piece of cardboard.

It’s quick and easy to mix up the crust, spread into a dish (a baking sheet might work but a casserole dish is better), bake, then bake again with the toppings added.

You can choose whatever toppings you like. I prefer sausage, but plain cheese and pepperoni are delicious too.

This almost no carb pizza really surprised me. It is so good we had it for dinner one day and then I made it again for lunch the very next day. You know what, I want it again today too!

You can add some fresh chopped basil on top for added flavor. Grated parmesan is yummy too.

The crust is not as crisp traditional pizza. Make sure you cook it until the top is golden brown and let it cool the full 10 minutes before adding the toppings and that will help. You still may end up with a fork, but good, soft pizza is better than no pizza!
