NO Dough Pizza Low Carb Cream Cheese Pizza Crust image

Low Carb The "Crust" is soft so this is actually more of a casserole dish but the flavor is there. I used Minced Garlic from a Jar rather than Garlic Powder. For the Pizza Sauce I used leftover Kittencal's Pizza Sauce Recipe #65641 that had been frozen after a previous pizza prep . This recipe was Posted On Facebook by a Friend of a Friend of a Friend!

LOW CARB PORK RIND PIZZA CRUST



Low Carb Pork Rind Pizza Crust image

Some of you may be averse to using pork rinds, but I promise you, you won't taste them in this recipe. The pork rinds mainly act as a binder for the pizza crust and there are virtually NO carbs! I will never EVER go back to regular pizza dough again! To make the pizza topping as low as possible in carbs, I made the topping as a "white" pizza - sauteed spinach, seasoned pan roasted chicken and mushrooms. This should satisfy every low-carb eater's pizza craving.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 large eggs
1 cup ground pork rind
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded Italian cheese
1/2 tablespoon Italian spices
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

Categories     Breads

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups part skim shredded mozzarella cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups almond flour
1 tablespoon oat fiber (or 2 tbsp whey protein powder or 1/4 cup more almond flour)

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.

Low Carb Pizza With Portabella Mushroom Crust! image

Feels like you're cheating and actually eating pizza! A must try and soooo simple too. Please if possible use pizza sauce made by L. E. Roselli's. It's their Low Carb Pizza Sauce and only has 2 carbs for 1/4 cup!! It's the best sauce I've found. I buy it by the case and one jar is enough to do 4 BIG Portabella Pizzas. They are located in N.J. but I get it at my local Low Carb store here in Florida. Get the sauce!! It makes the pizza. Serve with a nice big green salad.

LOW CARB CRISPY CARBQUICK PIZZA CRUST RECIPE RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Low Carb Crispy Carbquick Pizza Crust Recipe Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by trishg

Number Of Ingredients 17

Carbquik Pizza Dough Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 ounce (the kind in a can)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup CarbQuik Low Carb Baking Mix
1/2 cup almond flour, 2 ounces
4-8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
Toppings:
1/4 cup pizza sauce
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounce can mushrooms
2 ounces pepperoni slices
1/4 pound Italian sausage, browned and crumbled
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
Italian seasoning, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste

Steps:

  • Instructions: Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit a 14 to 15-inch round pizza pan. Spray the pizza pan with cooking spray to help the parchment stay put. Place the parchment paper in the pan. Whisk cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Add remaining ingredients except mozzarella until well combined. Stir in mozzarella. Drop the dough by large spoonfuls all over parchment-lined pan. Cover with two sheets of plastic wrap that have been crossed so that the entire surface is covered. With rolling pin, roll dough to the edges of the pan making it an even thickness. Remove plastic wrap. With a rubber spatula, push the dough up and away from the edges of the pan by 1/4-1/2″. If the dough goes all the way to the edges, it can bubble over in the oven or go under the parchment paper. Bake at 400 degrees 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes or chill several hours (can probably be wrapped and frozen at this point, but I haven\'t tried it). Add toppings and bake at 375 degrees about 15-20 minutes longer or until toppings are bubbly and slightly browned. Recipe courtesy of Tova Industries, makers of CarbQuik Low Carb Baking Mix.

PIZZA CRUST - LOW CARB



Pizza Crust - Low Carb image

Pizza crust recipe that is gluten free and so yummy! Crispy and a bit chewy, made with cheese and coconut flour. This is from tropicaltraditions submitted by Lauren. Thank you Lauren!

Provided by Yogi8

Categories     Breads

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups mozzarella cheese or 2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons flax seed meal (though I made it without flax and think I like it better without)
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper out for baking sheet if you are making one large crust. For individual pizzas (this will make 4) no need for extra parchment- just flip them over with a spatula after 15 minutes of baking.
  • Mix cheese, eggs, flax, coconut flour, and baking powder together until a sticky wet dough is formed. Spread with a spatula or with dampened hands 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.

LOW CARB FLAX PIZZA CRUST



Low Carb Flax Pizza Crust image

From: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/breads/r/flaxpizza.htm - I have added some different seasoning to the crust to make it more flavorful.

Provided by NELady

Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 1 Pizza, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups flax seed meal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon Italian spices
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
1 tablespoon Splenda sugar substitute
3 tablespoons oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Mix dry ingredients together.
  • Add wet ingredients, and mix very well.
  • Let sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Spread on pan (I put it on a silicon mat or greased parchment paper).
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through, then add toppings and cook until they are done.

###
Tips
###
  • Almond Flour: A popular choice for low-carb pizza crusts, almond flour is high in protein and healthy fats. It's also gluten-free and has a mild flavor that won't overpower your toppings.
  • Coconut Flour: Another gluten-free option, coconut flour is high in fiber and has a slightly sweet taste. It's important to use less coconut flour than almond flour, as it is more absorbent.
  • Psyllium Husk: A natural binder, psyllium husk helps to hold the crust together and give it a chewy texture. It's also a good source of fiber.
  • Baking Powder: Baking powder helps the crust to rise and become light and airy.
  • Eggs: Eggs help to bind the ingredients together and give the crust a golden brown color.
  • Cheese: Cheese is a classic pizza topping, and it can also be used to help hold the crust together. Use a low-moisture cheese, such as mozzarella or Parmesan, to prevent the crust from becoming too soggy.
  • Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Popular options include vegetables, meats, and cheeses. Just be sure to not overload the crust, or it will become soggy.
###
Conclusion
### Low-carb pizza crusts are a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy pizza without all the carbs. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can make a low-carb pizza crust that is just as good as the traditional kind. So next time you're craving pizza, don't deny yourself. Just make a low-carb pizza crust and enjoy!
