This pizza crust can be round or square. I like to make it in an oblong on a baking sheet topped with a silcone mat. Another idea is to line the pan with oiled parchment paper. The protein powder makes it taste less "soy-y". More Low-Carb Pizza

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup soy flour
  • ½ cup neutral-tasting protein powder (I used whey)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoon oregano or other Italian seasoning
  • pinch pinch black pepper and/or cayenne or other hot pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons worth of sugar substitute
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons oil (olive or other)
  • ¼ cup water (approximately)

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375° F.

Mix dry ingredients together, and add eggs, oil, and water. Combine well. The mixture will be sticky, but should hold together. Soy flours differ, so you may need to add a little more water.

Spread dough out on well-greased pan or silicone mat (I have never tried it on a pizza stone). Wet your hands or spatula so you can spread it out smoothly.

Bake for about 10-14 minutes, or until light brown. Remove from oven and cover with pizza toppings. Replace in oven and finish baking (for faster finish, use the broiler).

Nutritional Information: Each of 6 servings of the crust only has 5 grams effective carbohydrate plus 2 grams fiber, 11 grams protein, and 170
