Supreme Pizza!

I've tried many different pizza crusts while on low carb, and I have to say I haven't found one I didn't like. This is the easiest to make and tastes very very good! You can go crazy on the toppings and do many different variations, pepperoni lover's, meat lover's, bbq chicken, hawaiian, cheeseburger, philly cheese steak, and the list goes on and on.
I've served this pizza to several non low-carbers from teens to adults and every single one of them loved it!

I found these wraps at walmart in the deli section, but I know that Netrition.com also sells them.

Ingredients:

1 Joseph's Lavash Bread
2 tbsp pizza or pasta sauce, lowest carbs you can find (the one I used had 1 net carb per 2 tbsp)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
20 slices pepperoni
2 thin slices of red onion, chopped
2 tbsp black olives, sliced
2 slices Canadian bacon, chopped
2 tbsp chopped bell pepper
1 tbsp olive oil



Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. In a cookie sheet place lavash bread. Brush both sides with olive oil
3. Bake in preheated oven for 3 minutes, remove, flip over with a spatula, and bake for another 3 minutes. It should be lightly toasted. Watch it carefully because it burns easily.
4. Take crust out of the oven and top with sauce, cheese, and all toppings.
5. Return to the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Turn on the broiler to low and broil for 3 minutes. Again, watch it carefully!
6. Slice with pizza cutter and serve!


I get 12 square slices out of this pizza.

Each piece comes out to 1.2 Net carbs. I eat 3 pieces with a salad and it's just right, but it's up to you how many pieces you want to eat per serving.

Supreme Pizza Bites

If you've already seen my previous post of pepperoni basil bites, this is the second batch I made. Which I turned into supreme pizza bites! These were more of a hit with the adults than the kids but it was better for us because we got more! Both versions were equally delicious and both were snatched up and eaten within 5 minutes! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

8 oz pckg cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

1/4 cup pizza or pasta sauce, the lowest carbs you can find. The one I used had 2 net carbs per 1/4 cup

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 fresh basil leaves, chopped or torn into small pieces

2 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated

32 slices of pepperoni, plus an additional 1/4 cup chopped pepperoni

2 slices of canadian bacon or ham, chopped

2 tbsp sliced black olives

2 tbsp chopped green bell pepper

2 tbsp chopped red onion

1 mini muffin tin, preferably a 24 capacity one

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven at 350 F.

2. Place one pepperoni in the bottom of each mini muffin tin. Press down on them to make them stay.

3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese and eggs until thoroughly combined. Add the pizza or pasta sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, basil, chopped pepperoni, ham, green peppers, olives and onions.

4. Fill each mini muffin space to the top with this mixture. Be careful not to overfill.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until lighly golden brown and set.

6. Remove them from the pan by passing a small knife around the edges. They should pop right out with no problem but if you know your pan tends to stick then add pam before baking.

7. Place remaining pepperoni's in the bottom of the tins and add remaining mixture and bake as directed.


You have to do this in batches since the recipe yields 32 and the pan only holds 24.

Each pizza bite has 0.5 Net carbs

The carbs counts will vary slightly depending on what kind of pizza or pasta sauce you use.

If you haven't already seen it, I also posted a recipe for pepperoni basil pizza bites. So please check that post out as well!
