Ingredients

For the Dough
  • 2 cups pre-shredded mozzarella 220g
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flour 16g
  • ½ tablespoon psyllium husk or ½ teaspoon psyllium husk powder
  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt
For the Topping
  • ⅓ cup marinara sauce 80ml
  • 10 lices pepperoni 30g
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella 28g
  • handful of basil leaves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F (electric). 
  2. Put the mozzarella, coconut flour, psyllium husk, egg and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until you have a smooth dough. This takes around 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl in between if needed.
  3.  Grease your hands with olive oil and form 2 dough balls (130g each).
  4. Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper to make 2 round pizza crusts (20 centimetres diameter). The top parchment prevents the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
  5. Remove the top parchment paper and transfer the crusts on their bottom parchment onto a baking sheet. Bake the pizza crusts for 7 minutes until golden brown. 
  6. Remove the crusts from the oven and spread with toppings of your choice. I used marinara sauce, salami slices, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil.
  7. Return to the oven for a further 6 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the toppings have crisped up.

Notes

  • 8g net carbs per pizza crust without toppings. Makes 2 pizza crusts.
  • 1g net carbs per pizza (539 calories) with toppings.
  • 1 entire pizza is a very filling meal. ½ pizza (4.4g net carbs) with a side salad is a satisfying lunch.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze the unbaked pizza dough, the pre-baked pizza crust or the entire pizza with toppings for up to 3 months.
