Title: New pizza crust (low carb)
Post by: TMB on September 17, 2019, 08:32:48 AM
Made a new pizza crust last night.   Turned out really good but needs a few tweeks  ;)

5 oz Provolone cheese
1 1/2 cups Almond flour
1 Tbs of Psyllium Husk Fiber
1  large egg
1 tsp melted butter   

Mix well after cheese has been melted down (like Fat Head dough) then mix in almond flour and butter when it cools a little then mix in egg and psyllium fiber

Roll out between plastic wrap (well oiled) use a fork to punch holes all around the crust , then pre-bake for about 12 mins on a pizza pan oven set at 400.   After 12 mins flip crust over and load with toppings then back into the oven till cheese is melted.

It looks good Tommy but was the crust dry? do the low carb dough's taste a little like regular pizza crust

The crust was a tad dry but like all almond flour crust it does not have that chew you look for.   BUT, it's a very good alternative to reg flour


Next try I will let the almond flour set in longer to absorb more moister that helps quite a bit texture wise

It looks good, Tommy.

I always prefer Provolone over Mozzarella in a low-carb crust.  It just has better flavor.
