Italian style Pizza
Pizza slices
For 6 pieces
ingredients:
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
100 g cream cheese
50 g ground almonds
1 heaped teaspoon carob bean gum or guar gum
pinch of salt
50 g salami, cut into small cubes
40 g of parma ham cut into small cubes
3 slices cooked ham, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cloves of crushed garlic if liked
100 g sour cream
1 teaspoon oregano
200 g grated Gouda
preparation
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Beat egg whites until very stiff and set aside.
Mix the egg yolk with cream cheese, almonds, carob bean gum and
1 pinch salt until smooth,
Fold in the whipped egg whites.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place 6 oval dough shapes onto it
Bake for 20 minutes in the oven.
Meanwhile prepare the topping.
Add the tomato paste with a little water until smooth
add the sour cream and the oregano to it.
Mix well.
Now, add the salami and ham and garlic if using
and fold in 100 grams of the cheese and mix well again.
Remove the pizza bases after 20 minutes from the oven
and flip them over.
Set oven to 200 degrees
Spread the topping evenly over the bases, sprinkle with remaining cheese, return pizza to the oven and bake until the topping is bubbling and golden brown.
You can vary the topping as you wish, different cheeses, add olives, fish, slices of hard boiled egg, mushrooms, be creative, use your imagination. If you want to add vegetables, ie mushrooms, spinach etc you need to sautee in butter first before adding to topping mix.
I have made pizza using cauliflower crust before and it was lovely, however this recipe here is the tops, almost like a real Italian pizza, I hope you will try it.
Here is a photo of the pizza, scroll down the page for a close up http://lchf.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31 ... zza+zungen
Its become a very popular recipe, not only in our household but with office colleagues and friends as well.
