Low carb pizza base

[desperatelyseekingamovingdate]

Hi i found this recipe, it states carbs as 4g per slice - whole is 6 slices.

I have worked the carbs out roughly to be 5-6g for the whole thing - without toppings, does this sound right?

Would be great when i get to BC lite for a saturday night treat. Has anyone made this, is it any good?

From ditch the carbs -fat head pizza base

170g / 6 oz / 1¾ cups (approx) shredded/grated cheese (mozzarella is the best or Edam/mild cheese)
85g / 3 oz / ½ cup ground almonds
2 tbs cream cheese
1 egg
+/- salt to taste
½ tsp dried rosemary/ garlic or other flavourings (optional)
your choice of toppings such as pepperoni, peppers, cherry tomatoes, olives, ground/mince beef, mushrooms, herbs etc

INSTRUCTIONS

Put the shredded/grated cheese and cream cheese in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
Stir then microwave on HIGH for another 30 seconds.
Add the egg, salt, rosemary (or other flavourings) and ground almonds, mix gently.
Place in between 2 baking sheets and roll into a circular pizza shape. remove the top baking sheet. If the mixture hardens and becomes difficult to work with, pop it back in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften again but not too long or you will cook the egg.
Make fork holes all over the pizza base to ensure it cooks evenly.
Place the baking sheet with the pizza base on a baking tray or pizza stone, and bake at 220C/425F for 12-15 minutes, or until brown.
To make it really crispy and study, flip the pizza over once the top has baked to a golden colour. I turn the pizza onto the baking paper I used to roll out the pizza base, then slide it back onto the baking tray.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and add all the toppings you like. Make sure any meat is already cooked as this time it goes back into the oven just to heat up the toppings and melt the cheese. Bake again at 220C/425F for 5 minutes.

It's pretty nice. It's extremely calorific, I didn't need breakfast the next day.

Ah, this is the legendary fathead pizza. It is delicious and very calorific, as StuntNun says. I love it as the toast for cheese on toast.
