We use Aldi's flatout bread for pizza crust. Smear both sides with mushroom infused evoo, toast ever-so-lightly, and top with whatever...appropriate tomato sauce, diced bacon, chicken, broccoli, a few peppers, mushrooms, cheese, and herbs. It's pretty caloric but so very filling and delicious. One of these fixes my pizza craving, whereas I could eat half a large restaurant -style pizza all by myself before lchf.

Thanks Sabine and cairnsmom! I'm always on the lookout for lower carb breads (mostly as receptacles for sandwich fillings). I will have to see if German Aldi has the flatout.

I am going to be try a lot of these pizza recipes when I'm home. I always used to eat a large Pappa John's pizza in one setting by myself along with an extra slice or two of my wife's pizza as well. Won't be doing that nonsense anymore.

These trader joe's sprouted breads are a godsend. 4 net carbs. Every time I make a trek to the store (about an hour from me) I buy 2-4 loaves lol the rye is my favorite. I just toast a slice and cover in butter for a snack if I have a couple extra carbs at the end of the day

ETA: Make sure you check the label. My sister read that they are changing manufacturers and it will now be 16 regular carbs (not sure about net) per slice. She was freaking out thinking they were mislabeled but surely TJ would get in HUGE trouble for having that much of a discrepancy? With the FDA or whatever? But anyway. She went as far as to call the TJ corporate office and inquire. They assured her when they start rolling out the "new" bread they will have new labels as well.

BUT

for now I'm stockpiling the rye lol

Oh, I don't know about that. Costco used to have this magnificent "young phillipine coconut" which was labeled at like 2 net carbs per serving (lots of fiber). We used to buy bags and bags of it. It was amazing!

Well, it was too amazing to be true. They changed the labels and it went up to like 10 net carbs per serving or something (my numbers could be off, I don't remember exactly what it was), and sugar was added to the ingredients. Same coconut. Then it disappeared off the shelves altogether.

Pretty sure they were soaking it in sugar water and it had a LOT more carbs than what was on the label. We should have known.

My husband (lowish carb) loves this bread as well. I had a slice at Christmas, so good!

Thanks for the heads up on the change. Very disappointing so we will need to stock up as well. They recently changed their cream cheese manufacturer as well and the carbs increased to 2 gram/serving.

Well that's disappointing!

I'm going to continue living in la-la-land about the carbs in these breads until I either hit a wall or they actually change the label lol I don't even eat a slice every day or anything (I shoot for 30 net carbs so if I have a day where i'm at like 20 or less i might toast up a slice or two) so I don't think in the long run even if those hidden carbs are in there it's probably (hopefully *crosses fingers*) not going to throw me too far off track.
