Low Carb Pizza - Dominos-Style Pizza

These low-carb pizzas taste just like a Dominos takeaway to me. You can make them however you like as meats and cheese have negligible carbs. You can also make a lot of them and freeze them for cooking later to make some quick, easy meals for the future. A great addition to a low carb diet.

You can also make smaller versions with a lower carb count. This recipe is based on making four 9" pizzas for 9.5g carbs per pizza.
Serving Size: Makes 4 pizzas.
Carbs per serving: 9.5g
Tools: Bread maker

Ingredients:
  • 250ml bottled water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (will be used up by the yeast)
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 
  • 2 ½ cups CarbQuik flour (or any low-carb flour. Carb count will vary based on the flour you use. This recipe is based on CarbQuik.)
  • ¼ cup of white spelt flour
  • ½ cup of wheat gluten
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 sachet of easy-bake yeast (7g packet)
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal
     Method:
    1. Add ingredients (except for cornmeal) to machine bread pan in order as per manufacturer's instructions.
    2. Set to "Dough" cycle.
    3. When the dough is done, separate dough into four balls.
    4. Roll out each dough ball to roughly 0.5cm thick pizza bases.
    5. Lightly grease a pan and sprinkle with cornmeal.
    6. Place dough in pan, then flip it over to cover both sides in cornmeal.
    7. Let pizza bases rest in pans for 10-15 minutes. (This is so they fluff up. Don't miss this step).

    Pizza Topping

    Ingredients:
    • Mozzarella cheese
    • Pizza topping (I used Tescos own brand)
    • Any other toppings you like
    Directions:
    1. Add a tablespoon of pizza sauce to each base and spread it around with a spoon in the centre of the pizza.
    2. Add toppings of your choice, then sprinkle with mozzarella.
    3. Bake at 350°F until done (approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of toppings).
