I saw a post on one of the other forums asbout Lo-dough pizzas. Unfortunately for me and my family, it has egg-white in it. Do any of you know of a similar product that does not have eggs in it and is suitable for vegetarians? I would find a product like that really time saving.
@ MeiChanski Thanks for your reply. I got excited when I heard of the lo-dough bases, but then saw they had eggs. I need low carb as I have T2 and also wanted something ready made as then I could take it on holiday.
but it isn't ready-made, it's a recipe. At the very end of the page the recipe says:
"I recommend you preslice all your loaf – I usually get 16 slices from this recipe. Store your bread in the fridge in an airtight plastic box or airtight zip bag. You can also freeze you bread up to 3 month.

This makes me think it would be convenient to use, as you just defrost what you want to use. Also, if you rolled it thin, you could use it as a pizza dough but you'd need to test cook a few for timing, crispiness etc.
I don't know many low carb ready made foods I'm afraid. I tend to home-cook as much as I can because then I know exactly what's in my food.
Thanks @WuTwo This recipe looks good. I think I'll have to make batches of things in the school holidays and freeze them. I'm usually too exhausted to cook much when I come in from work and often have a pile of books to mark as well. This one looks like something I could manage too https://www.sweetashoney.co/microwave-keto-bread-flaxseed-bread-no-mug-needed/
I wrote to the company and got this answer. I hope they do find a way to make an eggless version. It will save people so much time. Well, it cheered me up a bit as I finish the last of the school reports this lunch time
Hi Guna,
Thanks for reaching out.
Unfortunately, Lo-Dough is not suitable for Vegans as it contains dried free range egg white.
We are looking to do an egg-free version if at all possible. At present, there is no viable egg white substitute on the market that has the properties to make Lo-Dough work.
We're still working on a vegan formula so watch this space.
Please let me know if you require any additional information.
I make pizza at home a lot with tortillas, it's just easy and handy to keep them frozen for use.
Here is a recipe for a low carb egg free tortilla recipe
But they make low carb egg free tortillas that you can buy in the US that are only 3 carbs per tortilla, The trick is the low carb ones add a lot of fiber to them. (I usually buy whole wheat sprouted tortillas to make my pizza at home but they are not low carb).
