Pizza base

you could try cauliflower crust? there are a lot of recipes around but here's one i found on my first search.


For the crust:

1 egg

1 cup cooked, mashed cauliflower

1 cup grated mozzarella

Optional: herbs or seeds. The original creator of this recipe used fennel, oregano and basil. I kept it plain and focused on the toppings.


For the toppings:

Mild tomato sauce or purée

Grated mozzarella cheese

Ricotta cheese, for small dollops on top

Assorted vegetables. I used sautéed onions and chanterelles, fresh button mushrooms, basil, fresh small summer squash, and fresh tomatoes

Optional: olive oil, black pepper


Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. (Mine was at 500 and worked fine; I was sharing the oven with other pizzas.)


Cook cauliflower until it’s soft. Use whatever method you prefer: steam, boil, roast, pressure cook, whatever. Mash it up with a ricer. Mix in egg and mozzarella.


Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. If using a pizza stone, cover it in aluminum foil and then put down parchment paper. Spread out your dough batter about 3/4 inch thick and eight or nine inches wide. (I doubled the batter but still baked it as two separate batches.) Let it brown, about 12-15 minutes.


Take it out and cover it with your toppings. Bake again until crust edges brown further and cheese on top melts. Serve hot.

Warburtons squarish wraps are great, my children love them too.My fave is basic but yummy, I put tomato base,loads of peppers, onions, mushrooms and half a diced chicken breast. Cals for the whole thing are quite low and with a salad its a tasty meal.

I make pizza with scone bases, no idea if they are better for you (though they are homemade so you are controlling what goes into them) I also make the tomatoe puree. I like to make sure my toddler eats lots of veg so i steam a load of veg! Carrots, cauliflower, brocclli, celery, pretty much anything you like, chuck it all in the blender with some tinned tomato or/and passata, herbs an spices if you like and whizz! Also makes a good pasta or meatball sauce just add some cooked mushrooms and onions then enjoy

love this idea! have to try it!

Joseph"s Flax, Oat Bran and Whole Wheat Torilla

It is 70 cals (5 net carbs with the good fiber)

I make veggie pizza with this...first I prick the tortilla with a fork and toast it under the broiler to crisp it up a little...You can spray it with a mist of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder & your favorite spices.

KEEP YOUR EYE on it while toasting. it is quick to burn.

then I flip it and do the other side too.

I usually pre cook my onions mushrooms and peppers for a minute in the microwave so they are ready to finish under the broiler.

I use fresh tomatoes sliced thin or some pasta sauce and variety of cheeses ... it makes a nice light pizza.
