Miss Pizza Much?

While this is not necessarily a recipe for induction on Atkins, it is a life saver when it comes down to dealing with a brutally maniacal pizza craving.  I did without pizza for 16 months.  I was okay.  But one day, the pizza monster reared its ugly head.  All I have to say is "Thank you Erica!"  Erica of the Stuff I Make My Husband Blog has created an easy low carb pizza crust that will tame any wild beast pizza craving that may come your way with her hybrid pizza crust recipe.

In a pinch I have used soy flour instead of the coconut flour.  We've also played with substituting some different cheeses for part of the mozzarella.

Hungry yet?  Scoot on over to her blog and check it out.  Check out our results  here:

You start by baking the crust.  Here's Jack pressing out our pie!  Erica's tip about damp hands for doing this is right on target.  Also, silpat or silicone liners work, parchment paper rocks, but foil is liable to mess up.

These do freeze well.  At least for a couple of weeks.  The one we put in the freezer didn't last longer than that.  So, making extra isn't a bad idea.  Experiment and make small personal-sized pizza crusts for those spur of the moment cravings.

Jack makes a beautifully artistic looking pizza.

Bake it up with the toppings.  We use our "roundy-round" and it's brilliant!

Italian sausage, jalapenos, onions, pepperoni, spices and love!

Poppels believes that she should get the first piece.

I also make it in a cookie sheet as flat bread, since Jack's given up carb filled bread. As a sandwich, I cut mine small because these will fill you up!

Moral of the story?  Erica rocks!  Her hybrid pizza crust recipe is divine.  The pizza beast is slain!
