I love pizza. I have loved it from the very first time I took a bite when I was about two. I am quite sure that there was an electrode that went off in my toddler brain that forced a pizza addiction that was to last forever. And, we have a tradition of getting pizza on Wednesday nights because it makes getting to church so much easier!

I started low carbing early in life. When I was about 12 my parents felt I was a little pudgy (I was a size 7 juniors) and decided the whole family should go on the Stillman diet. I don’t know if any of you are old enough to remember it but it came out about the same time as Atkins only it was both low-carb AND low-fat. I was on it 14 days, lost 16 pounds and was down to a size 1 juniors on my 5’3″ muscular frame. It began a lifetime of struggling with anorexia and self-esteem. Everytime I got over a size 5 or up to 110 pounds I’d go back on a diet. Then I figured out if I just stopped eating there wouldn’t be a problem. Eventually I realized that I was killing myself and tried to eat better. I shot up to 125 pounds and a size 5. I felt I could live with that.

I maintained my weight at 125 pounds well into my 30s. Then I had 3 kids and my weight stabilized at about 139. I was 40 years old and I was pushing a size 7 and starting to get depressed about my weight, which really was/is a constant emotional struggle. It wasn’t until I blew out my thyroid with my 8th (and you can breathe a sigh of relief she is my last) my weight was higher than it had ever been, including pregnancies. Turns out I had 9 tumors and 2 cysts full of precancerous cells so out it came after six years of battling hypothyroidism. I thought once I got on the medications I would drop weight like crazy.

HA!

I finally was able to stick with Atkins and force myself to eat regularly and I lost 3 of the 40 pounds I wanted to lose. About that time my medication stopped working efficiently and packed on those 30 pounds plus maybe 5. I think maybe it was because I was working out and my body fat/muscle ratio changed but who knows. At this writing I have lost 15 of those pounds and am slowly working my way back down with (hopefully) more realistic expectations and a healthier view of who I am.

So what does that have to do with pizza?

low carb pizza crust can be made into individual sized pizza crusts and refrigerated or frozen for later. From lowcarb-ology.com

I can have my beloved pizza any time I want!! The thing is all of the low carb pizza crust recipes that I tried weren’t quite right. Maybe they were crusty or maybe they were chewy but they never seemed to be both at the same time like real pizza. Until now. I figured out the secret was raw hemp seed for breadiness and a little baking powder for oomph.

Perfect.

I hope you’ll try my low carb pizza crust and let me know what you think. Be sure to try a couple of different cooking times to get exactly the texture you want.

I think Hemp seed tastes a lot like sunflower seed. It has 3 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fiber giving it a 0 net carb count. It works well in all kinds of low carb baked goods and is what makes this pizza dough so bready.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese , I used Kraft shelf stable Parmesan but fresh would probably work, too
  • 3/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder , or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 eggs , beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Add silpat or parchment paper to a baking sheet.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
  • Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measure make 6 mounds of cheese mixture on the baking sheet.
  • Pat down to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Let cool before removing from pans.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.

Notes

To make pizza just add your ingredients to the top of the crust. Place on a heavy metal baking sheet (no silpat or parchment) and bake at 425 for 5 minutes or until the cheese bubbles and melts. Be sure to let it cool for a few minutes before you try to eat it. Those roof of the mouth blisters are killer!

  1. I was not impressed with this recipe sadly – so hoping it would be better than the top-notch pizza dough recipe I have been using for almost 3 years. The use of hemp seeds intrigued me and the recipe so simple, so I tried it – so eggy tasking with no substance other than a fried egg with a very cool after taste. Needs a bit of almond flour or something to give it some body, in my opinion.
