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

Things not to try with this recipe, Guest Gene

I've made this recipe twice and I have to give it 3.5 stars. However, tonight, I tried to use some left over coconut flour. My advice is: DO NOT TRY THIS RECIPE WITH COCONUT FLOUR. The recipe is very good with soy flour and vital wheat gluten or powdered egg whites as the protein source. The coconut flour substitution was just awful! Mealy, crumbly and very unappetizing.
