lower calorie pizza crust ideas?

I'm looking to make myself a pizza but i don't want to use a tortilla or cauliflower. I want something as authentic as possible.
I have a few ingredients that I think could work but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any ideas that use:

peanut flour
xanathan gum
flaxseed meal
wheat bran

And I have eggs and baking soda/powder and some white flour.

    I was going to answer tortilla but then read that is not what you are looking for but I absolutely love my whole wheat tortilla pizza. I also make an eggbeaters pizzza crust... obviously not a firm crust but with the toppings you get the flavor. You can use real eggs if not an egg beater fan.

    i'm thinking of just experimenting with all of the above, maybe i'll throw in a couple more egg whites.

    I use those circle flat breads that are 100 calories.

    I can't imagine making a decent pizza crust with those ingredients. I just make my crust thinner and pile on the toppings so that I can get full with just two slices. I use flour, yeast, and water.

    Here is one I make using Almond Flour that isn't all bad. You can use just regular flour completely instead of half and half and subtract about 15 calories a slice of pizza. If you use all flour it'll also lower your fat amount. It will increase your carbs and lower fiber though. It will also lower the protein of the recipe. So it's a trade off.. All flour = less calories and fat. Half Almond Flour = less carbs, more healthy fat, more protein, more fiber, few more cals.

    3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F.)
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
    1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
    1 cup bread flour
    1 cup almond flour
    2 teaspoons fast-rising active dry yeast

    Directions:

    1
    Add all the ingredients in the bread pan of bread machine. Process according to manufacturer's instructions for a dough setting, OR in a Mixer blend ingredients and let sit in a warm place til dough has risen (usually 30-40 minutes)
    2
    Meanwhile preheat the pizza stone or tiles to 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Prepare your favorite toppings.
    3
    Knead the dough several times and form the dough into an oval; cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
    4
    NOTE: Dough may be refrigerated at this point and stored until ready to use. To store each batch of dough, spray a plastic bag with nonstick spray and place the dough in it. Store no longer than 7 to 10 days, or if frozen for up to 2 months. If refrigerated or frozen prior to use, allow the portions to come to room temperature before they are rolled out.
    5
    Roll and stretch the dough into a 14-inch circle. Place the dough on the prepared peel. Brush the dough with some olive oil and layer your ingredients. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom and the top is bubbly.
