I may have missed out some hidden carbs, maybe someone else who is more experienced at carb counting can work it out more accurately. I reckon the crust ingredients must be about 15 g carbs then it's down to the tomato sauce, toppings and extra cheese.Much lower than regular pizza tho.
Just found this and I cant wait to try it.
Folks, I need some help with something please. Does anybody have any idea of the approx calorie count for one of these pizzas? I wanted to make it when my youngest comes up to stay with us over Christmas, she is T2 on insulin but has another condition so unfortunately I need to take the total calories into account too, say with just a tomato and cheese topping.
Thanks in advance.
Will power bypass tonite as I made another fat face pizza.This time a tray bake or rectangular effort with mozzarella, black pepper, really thinly sliced tomato and ham.Deeeelish.Gonna have to ration it tho that's pizza twice in a week.I was missing it tho. Seems like I've got the salad fairy in one ear and the pizza imp at the other! Got to get some anchovies for the next one ;-)..... Oh do shut up :-o
The calorie count for the base alone is 1,412 (using 180gm 'pizza' cheese, 110gm almond flour, 40gm full fat cream cheese & 1 egg). I now roll my base very thin so get 9 slices putting it at 157 calories per slice.
You'll have to weigh/count your sauce & toppings.
So I added it all up and WHOLE thing, with toppings and all had 17.6g of carbs, 120g of fat, 125g of protein and 1658 calories.Oh my god. I made it today. It's amazing. I love cheeeeeseI changed recepie slightly so I need to add up the carbs etc but so worth it!
Hi Andy-Sev... I make one by slicing a large courgette diagonally and placing the pieces in a circle on an oiled baking sheet.. then I just top as usual - puttanesca style with chillies for me - it was divine... after all, it is the toppings we love, not the bread - which is just a vehicle for them, no?As an alternative for those who are either allergic to almond flour and are not bothered about having a base I spotted a breadless pizza video on youtube. Basically you create a base using salami on a piece of baking parchment then layer your toppings on top of that and trust me it works, especially good if you are a meat lover.
Hi Snapsy.... how much mozzarella do we put in? Thank you...Sure thing, @pinklady69 - I've pasted below the recipe from @Redsnapper 's original post. Enjoy!
105g ground almonds
2 tablespoons full fat cream cheese
1 large egg.
Pinch of garlic salt (optional).
Dried oregano or Italian herbs (optional).
These ingredients are for the pizza base.Firstly add the mozzarella and cubed cream cheese into a microwaveable bowl.Microwave on full power for 1 minute.Mine is Cat E 800w.Give mixture a stir and microwave for a further 30 seconds.Stir again using a spatula being careful as it will be very hot.Then add the beaten egg and almond flour.This should combine to be very dough like.If it is too stringy just pop it back in the mic for 20 seconds.
Move the dough onto a pizza tray lined with baking parchment,and using wet hands make a pizza base.Keep wetting your hands as you do this.Quite fun actually.Finally prick all over with a fork to stop any bubbling up.This should give a nice flat pizza base.I crimped around the edge a bit also.
I sprinkled garlic powder over mine prior to baking in a preheated oven for 8 minutes at 200 C.
I kept a close eye on it and it was about to start burning,so I took it out,cooled the oven down to 150 C and gave it another 5 minutes.You could add dried herbs to the dough before making the base if you like,and I may try his next time.
The result a pretty nice looking pizza base. I added home made tomato sauce which we have with pasta ( well not me anymore) after reducing it down a bit to thicken it up.3 to 4 tablespoons was enough.Then more mozarella and precooked sliced onion,pepperami,and sliced baby tomato.A sprinkle of mozarella and ground black pepper and into the oven 150 C for 5-6 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.I took mine out halfway and tore up some really nice dry cure ham on the top.I also covered the edge of the crust in strips of tin foil to prevent it from burning.
It is necessary to cook any meats or toppings before building your pizza as the cooking is really only to melt the cheese on top and it would be easy to burn the crust due to the amount of cheese in it.
