Low Carb Pizza Crust Pizza


Crust:
1 1/2 cups soy flour
3 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup club soda
1 teaspoon salt
Sauce:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 cup diced red onion
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
3 large Roma tomatoes, diced
8 ounces no sugar added tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (may substitute Italian seasoning for
dried herbs)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Toppings:
24 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces pepperoni slices
1/2 cup crumbled Italian sausage, cooked
1/2 cup diced Parma ham
1/3 cup julienned red bell peppers
1/3 cup julienned green bell peppers
1/3 cup julienned red onion
2 portobello mushroom caps, sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch dried oregano
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Make the crust: Generously spray 2 (12-inch) pizza pans with
nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir
together all of the crust ingredients to make a smooth, thick,
pancake-like batter. Using a rubber spatula, spread the batter as
thin and evenly as possible over the 2 pans.
Place pizza crusts on center racks of the oven and bake for about 12
to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to touch.
Remove crusts from oven and increase the oven temperature to 400
degrees F.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat
olive oil and then sweat onions and garlic in oil, cooking just
until softened and translucent. Add diced tomatoes and the remaining
ingredients and simmer for about 2 minutes.
Compile the pizzas: Spread the tomato sauce and then the mozzarella
cheese evenly over both crusts. Top 1 pizza with pepperoni, sausage,
and ham, and top the other with the bell pepper strips, onions, and
mushrooms. Lightly sprinkle 1 tablespoon olive oil over each pizza,
and sprinkle each with a dash of dried oregano.
Place the pizzas back in the oven to bake for another 10 to 12
minutes, or until the cheese melts and starts to brown. Cut each
pizza into 8 slices.
