Long live Italy! At this time of the Euro 2020, eating Italian delicacies comes as a given. In this case, that wasn't even the motivation or the context in which I made this Pizza. In one of the "Low-Carb" and Ketogenic Consciousness groups to which I belong, a Pizza Contest was issued. Of course I got to work. Or in this case, I got my hands to it!
The ingredients are compatible with the protocols I follow, so there are no big surprises in the ingredients. But in the flavor, and in the moisture of the dough, there is a surprise: a
DELIGHT! Don't expect to taste the wheat. Needless to say. But it was so good and so balanced that you won't be surprised at all.
OK google Play Glan Miller! Lets get cooking!
Ingredients (for two pizzas - 5 people)
For the base:
4 eggs
4 TblS almond flour
2 TblS of linseed/flaxseed flour
1 TblS of psyllium
1 teaS of yeast for cakes
4 TblS of boiling water (to activate the psyllium)
1 pinch of salt
For the filling:
I used what I had at home, still I listed the ingredients below.
Pizza 1: Red onion, non-smoked bacon, various mushrooms, peppers, various cheeses - goat and mozzarella - truffle paste and, of course, oregano.
Pizza 2: red onion, canned tuna belly, various mushrooms, various cheeses – goat and mozzarella and, of course, oregano.
Preparation
Mix all the eggs, whole, with the flours, add the psyllium and the tablespoons of hot water and salt.
Lastly, the yeast.
The dough is somewhat liquid, nothing like the yeast dough on wheat and gluten pizzas. But that's not what we want, because that's not healthy food.
Place in a non-stick skillet previously greased with oil and cover to muffle and imitate the oven effect.
Bring to a low heat until the dough starts to rise and the top is dry. Always keep covered during cooking.
When dry, and grown, place a pizza base on parchment paper previously placed in an oven tray.
Decorate with the ingredients of your choice in the following order: cheese, oregano, onion, meat -or tuna- mushrooms and finally cheese again. I like to pre-cook the ingredients in a skillet because since the dough is practically cooked, the ingredients aren't in the oven for long enough to cook well.
Place in the oven, just with the broiler on, for about 5-7 minutes until the desired cooking point is reached.
You'll love it! "Low-carb" and low glycemic index!
Who said you couldn't have a pizza like this?!
