Low carb pizza!

mms_picture7.jpg


I decided to try three experimental options: (All with Mozzarella and Parmesan)

Pesto/Basil/Broccoli/Chicken (no sauce)
Pesto/Tomato/Basil (No sauce)
Sauce/Chicken





The Sauce/chicken one was super lacking. Will not be trying that again. Surprisingly enough, the broccoli was FANTASTIC. I think next Im going to try a Pesto/Basil/Broccoli/Tomato combination. The juicy tomatoes would be great with the broccoli. And the fresh basil REALLY made this. MUST have: Fresh basil.

My only complaint is that i would like to try to achieve a more crisp crust. I think if I throw the tortillas in the oven and let them crisp up first, it should work. The pizzas themselves only take aout 8 minutes to cook, so the tortilla shouldn't burn.

Today I made the pesto/basil/mozzarella/parmesan/tomato/chicken/broccoli pizza for lunch. Too many toppings, methinks. I think it could have done without the chicken. Tomato and broccoli pizza is going to be my favorite I think.

It's still hard getting the crispy crust. I think the tomato gets the tortilla a little soggy. Will have to experiment with this and learn how to perfect the crust.

That being said, Im going to start eating these little pizzas for like every meal. :holy: Theyre so delicious. They're easy and quick - Assemble + 8 minutes in the oven = done. And they're only about 9-12g of carbs per pizza, depending on toppings.

An inexpensive pizza stone would be the best way to get them crisp. Or grill them. Even a pan like cast iron would crisp them.

Patches, with a crust as thin as a tortilla, I think you want to use a lot less toppings than you show in your pictures. The thinner the crust, the less toppings it can tolerate before it gets soggy. With less toppings, the pizza will also finish cooking before the tortilla scorches. I'd brush the tortilla with olive oil and cook it for a minute or two by itself, then top it lightly and cook it at high heat (maybe like 450 or 500) just until the cheese melts, no more than 5 minutes or so. Good luck!

That sounds delicious, prpl!

I made chocolate hummus--tastes awesome, esp if you eat it with something salty like pita chips.
