Any bread-like low carb products?

If I could make a "pizza" with some kind of bread, sauce, cheese and pepperoni, this would be a staple for me. Anyone know of something?

    You could use low carb tortillas, but it makes such a thin crust... if you are looking for the real 'dough' there are some flax meal and almond flour recipes that are lower in carbs than true pizza crust

    I used this one and it was okay, little on the nutty flavor but it worked

    As contradictory as this sounds, there is actually something called paleo bread.

    http://www.paleobread.com/

    Personally, I have never tried it, so I can't tell you if it is good, or not. I have chosen to make my diet as primal as possible. Since our paleolithic ancestors may have eaten some grains and seed that they foraged, but did not ever make bread, I have just gotten rid of bread myself. Even if the bread is high fiber, low carb, etc.

    However, if you aren't as whacked about this stuff as I am .... I bet paleo bread is a good option. Also, if you really just want to have a taco or burrito, try the low carb tortillas.

    I use the mission carb balance tortillas, I lightly Pam the baking sheet, then place my tortilla. I make pizza sauce from a can of crushed tomatoes and some oregano, just layer with a table spoon onto the tortilla, then add cheese and toppings of choice. Pepperoni and bacon is my old favorite.

    I have heard the cauliflower crust is good, but have not tried it yet.

    There are some great low carb bloggers online, peaceloveandlowcarb has given me some good recipes I like.

    Definitely love to use milled flax seed to make the MIMs though, those are ready so fast and are exactly like a real muffin. It's just two tablespoons of the milled flax seed, a pat of butter, an egg and half a tsp of baking powder. Add any flavor you like, such as lemon extract and poppy seeds, or unsweetened cocoa powder and some Splenda.

    Good luck!

    Argh, totally missed that it was bread-like low carb products for making pizza dough. That said, I think you could do that with the ingredients used for paleo bread, but do it as a pizza dough. Here's the ingredients they use

    Almond Flour, Egg Whites, Psyllium, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda.

    I make pizza using the crust recipes in the Wheat Belly cookbook.

    The one that incorporates cheese as part of the crust to give it better structure is particularly good.

    I also make the focaccia recipe from the WB cookbook.

    Just had a melt-type dish made with a slice of focaccia, three pieces of peameal bacon and a nice big handful of mozzarella.

    You can also use a large portabella mushroom cap. So good!

    I am a proud owner of the book The Joy of Gluten Free, Sugar Free baking, and there are a BOATLOAD of low carb bread/pizza dough/everything baked recipes in there. I LOVE it. The foccacia bread I made for my pizza a month ago was FABULOUS. It's definitely worth a purchase.

    Try Joseph's Pita Bread, made with Flax, Oat Bran and Whole Wheat. Only 4 net carbs (8 before subtracting fiber). I just discovered it the other day and it is DELICIOUS! I've only made sandwiches with it so far. This morning I made a ham, egg and cheese sandwich that tasted BETTER than what I always would order at McDonalds. :) I cant wait to try using them for tacos and mini pizzas.

    Locally, I've found them at Walmart and Publix.
