A Twist On Grand Papa's Pizza Crust
As for pizza, the real carbohydrate criminal is the crust. There are several good low carbohydrate versions around. Here’s our Cuneo / Bardelli family favorite:
1 cup soy flour
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
3 eggs
3/4 cup cream
1/3 cup club soda
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely grated Romano cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
Water as needed
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all ingredients, except water, in a mixing bowl. Combine until a thick dough forms, adding water as needed. (I use a Kitchenaid mixer and dough hook for best results). Divide dough in two parts. Brush two 12 inch pizza pans with olive oil. Spread dough evenly on the pizza pans. Place crusts on center racks of oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden and firm. Remove crusts from oven, cool, and top with Mama Bardelli’s Marinara Sauce, mozzarella and Italian cheeses, and other desired low carbohydrate ingredients such as sausage, pepperoni, olives, etc. Serves 10-16. 9 grams carbohydrates per slice.
Tip: Use imported Pecorino Romano (Pecorino al Basilico is excellent and eliminates the need for dried basil) and Parmagiano Reggiano cheeses for best flavor results. Both are available from iGourmet.com and Costco.
