Low Carb, Gluten-Free Pizza

This isn't my creation, so I'll point you to the page I found and you can look at the instructions there.  Thanks to GlutenFreeEasily for this awesome recipe.  While the focus of that site is gluten-free, it's a great option for low carb as well.  Basically, keep your sauce as low-carb as possible and go to town on the toppings!  I double the recipe as written here per pizza that I bake on a standard 18x12 commercial baking sheet.

Sauce Options
Tomato Sauce - you have to be really careful here, as tomatoes are somewhat high in carbs... better than a Snickers bar, but not as good a cauliflower... I have a brand I buy at Cash & Carry here in the Seattle Area called "First Street Pizza Sauce w/ Basil" that has 6.8g of carbs per 1/3 cup serving, which is about as low as I've been able to find for tomato sauce.  It's pretty tasty sauce, without a lot of extra crap in it, and 1/3 a cup is big enough for a normal pizza, albeit somewhat thinly.  It's all about the toppings anyway, amirite?  Oh, though sometimes when I'm feelin' a bit saucy, I'll throw in a couple tbsp of half & half to the sauce.

Alfredo Sauce - pretty much your favorite Alfredo sauce will do, just watch the ingredients in the pre-made stuff as they love to sneak sugar or HFCS in.  I'm not an anti-HFCS Nazi, I just don't want any extra carbs. So I guess I'm a bit of an anti-carb fascist.  That's about as far as I'll go.  If your store-bought stuff tastes odd, sprinkle on some garlic powder after you spread it around.

Salsa - we'll make a "Mexican" pizza sometimes using salsa as the sauce.  Again, tomatoes, so carbs, just watch the amounts and make sure you're counting what you use.

Ground Beef & Bacon w/ Black Olives

Toppings
With all my pizzas, I usually will saute some onions and garlic first, in some butter & olive oil with seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, Italian seasoning mix from Costco).  In fact, I do this in just about everything I cook because they're good for you and they're frickin' DELICIOUS!  Then the sky is the limit.  Some ideas... for tomato sauce, I've topped with ground beef, Italian sausage, pepperoni, bacon, chicken sausage... or all of the above!  The Big Boss is ALL about the meat!

Another one that's been in the rotation is chicken & spinach with feta.  Using an Alfredo sauce, I'll throw down some chicken & spinach, then sprinkle some feta and mozza on top.  NOM!

"Mexican" is one we've also been doing for a change of pace... using salsa as a sauce, I'll fry some ground beef with some taco seasoning, maybe some peppers, then throw on top of the salsa.  I'll maybe add some olives (some carbs here so be judicious) then top with cheese.  Then when we eat it we put a dollop of sour cream on top.  Ole!

So that's it... get creative, that's what makes cooking fun.  Experiment.  Let me know what you like to do.  I'm thinking of a steak & shrimp pizza some time...  Until next time - peace!
