Low-Carb Pizza Base
This pizza base recipe is ideal for batch cooking. Freezing either the dough ball or the readily shaped pizza base will save time when pizza is on the menu!
Ingredients
- 50 g low-carb flour
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 40 ml water
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- If you're preparing a finished pizza, preheat your oven to 175°C, otherwise, you can skip this step!
- Combine the flour, olive oil, water, and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl until you reach a sticky dough. Be careful not to over-mix, as this will lead to a tough pizza base.
- Place a large frying pan on a medium heat.
- Place the ball of dough between two sheets of baking parchment approximately 30cm square. Roll out into a flat disc—the baking parchment will prevent the dough sticking to your rolling pin!
- Place your pizza base in the large frying pan and dry fry for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Place base on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. If you're preparing a finished pizza, use this time to prepare your toppings!
- Add your toppings to your base and place in the oven. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and your toppings are cooked through.
Notes
- Why not try adding dried herbs, such as oregano, to your mix? Or spice things up with a sprinkle of paprika or chilli flakes.
- If adding meat to your pizza, be sure to cook it through before using it as a topping.
