Minimal Carb Pizza Ingredients Pastry: Bread flour yeast Topping base : Napoli sauce, one cup (posted earlier) see http://tinyurl.com/22phg Shredded Mozzarella cheese, Grated Parmesan Cheese. Suggested Toppings: Any or all, in small quantities: shredded ham or bacon (pre-cook slightly and drain if you want minimal fat) pineapple pieces (for the non-diabetic spouse) sliced mushrooms sliced capsicum (bell pepper) chopped olives anchovies sliced onion sliced tomato whatever is your favourite Pastry for four medium or eight individual pizzas. Use your favourite bread recipe and make up the standard amount for one loaf, based on 500gm (just over 1 lb) of flour. I usually use a wholemeal flour with added bran and psyllium husk, but use your own. Let it get to the stage of final rising. I don't use a machine - if you do, don't let it cook! Then pound it down and divide into eight equal portions. That's right - 8. Shape into balls, cover in cling wrap, and freeze for future use. Pizza. Thaw a dough ball and allow it to rise until doubled in size. Punch it down, knead a little (I know it's small) and then roll with a rolling pin or similar into a circle. Keep rolling and stretching until you have a thin circle about 10" (25 cm) diameter. Spray your tray with olive or canola oil and spread the pastry on it. I know it looks awfully thin; let it sit for at least half an hour in a warm place to rise a little and get a little thicker. It will rise further in cooking. In the meantime, prepare or thaw a cup of napoli sauce. Prepare your toppings and warm the oven to 200c (390 F). When the pastry is ready, spread the napoli sauce over it. Sprinkle or arrange your toppings on the pizza, finally spread liberally with the mozzarella and sprinkle with the grated parmesan. Bake for about 15 minutes, checking regularly after 8. Use your meter to see whether your limit is a half-pizza or a full one next time:-) Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 2x500mg -- Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. |
