Pizza Crust - GF, LC
Makes 2-4 servings
- 2 cups whole milk organic mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 large organic eggs
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper out for baking sheet.
Mix cheese, eggs, flax, coconut flour, and baking powder together until a sticky wet dough is formed. Spread with a spatula 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.

Okay, so waxed paper is not a good substitute for parchment paper. It smokes in the oven. Aren't you glad I saved you the trouble of finding that out on your own? Use the silver aluminum stuff instead, and coat with a spray or oil.
I removed it from the paper to broil with the toppings. Am I the only one who is excited that I get to have pizza again? My stoneware is being put to use again.
Tonight this was the only option for dinner so DH had to try it this time. There were no complaints, but there was no going back for seconds. This could also be because he ate many many sugar cookies before dinner.
This recipes tastes more like dough than the cauliflower pizza crust, but it still is cheesy flavored. The flax meal makes it looked like a wheat and herb crust.
I like the freshness of the cauliflower pizza crust, but this one is easier to serve to my DH.
Here again with the nutrition facts, I hope these are helpful for some. It does take time to add special ingredients and the recipe into the Lean Cuisine custom foods program. The division is for 4 slices, and these facts are for one slice. The amounts could be off a little as I had to convert tablespoons into grams, in order to convert it into the 2 tablespoon amount rather than 6 Tbsp. So, now you know I'm still not good with fractions and I choose the easier route. yep, that was easier than fractions, sad huh?

Yay! All I need is the coconut flour to make this! Sounds good but did you like it? I know you say it tastes more like flour but does it taste good?
ReplyDeleteIt does taste good, and it gets crispier so you can eat it holding it like a regular pizza.
ReplyDeleteYou have flax meal already?
let me know how you like it.
Sounds good. I cannot wait to try it. Does it taste like the real pizza dough or just cheesy goodness? :)
ReplyDeletehmm, it's like a pizza dough, but it has a cheesy goodness taste. DH didn't complain at me not making real pizza, so it's close to the real thing.
ReplyDeleteI have an extra that I can bring on Friday to top and cook up and eat, if you'd like to try it.
I won't have it for dinner tonight.
