Ingredients

Crust:

1 1/2 cups soy flour
3 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup club soda
1 teaspoon salt

Sauce:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 cup diced red onion
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
3 large Roma tomatoes, diced
8 ounces no sugar added tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (may substitute Italian seasoning for dried herbs)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Toppings:

24 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces pepperoni slices
1/2 cup crumbled Italian sausage, cooked
1/2 cup diced Parma ham
1/3 cup julienned red bell peppers
1/3 cup julienned green bell peppers
1/3 cup julienned red onion
2 portobello mushroom caps, sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch dried oregano

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Make the crust: Generously spray 2 (12-inch) pizza pans with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together all of the crust ingredients to make a smooth, thick, pancake-like batter. Using a rubber spatula, spread the batter as thin and evenly as possible over the 2 pans.

Place pizza crusts on center racks of the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to touch.

Remove crusts from oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.

Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat olive oil and then sweat onions and garlic in oil, cooking just until softened and translucent. Add diced tomatoes and the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 2 minutes.

Compile the pizzas: Spread the tomato sauce and then the mozzarella cheese evenly over both crusts. Top 1 pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and ham, and top the other with the bell pepper strips, onions, and mushrooms. Lightly sprinkle 1 tablespoon olive oil over each pizza, and sprinkle each with a dash of dried oregano.

Place the pizzas back in the oven to bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and starts to brown. Cut each pizza into 8 slices.

try solid shortening to grease your pan
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe before and found the crust stuck like glue if I just used Pam. So I tried greasing my pan with solid... shortening (i.e. Crisco) instead. It worked like a charm. Just be sure to cook the crust at least 20 minutes. Read more

Pretty good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've been eating low/moderate carbs for years now. I've pretty much accepted that there's no real substitute for bread or... the dough when it comes to pizza. The soy flour crust is pretty good to me. I mean it's not Dominoe's or Pizza Hut but let's face it. You'll never get that same white flour dough taste in a low carb pizza. Overall, this recipe is a good one for those watching carbs. You can enjoy a little pizza without the guilt. Like the review prior to me said, go into this with an open mind and you will enjoy.Read more

Fours stars is the perfect score for this recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I think if you go into this recipe with open eyes, you'll enjoy it. This is NOT going to rival your neighborhood pizzeria--... but it will trick your brain into thinking you're eating pizza all while plying you full of tasty veggies and meat toppings. It's filling, it goes a long way and, besides the soy flour, all the ingredients were readily available. I would say that the biggest problem (of course) was the crust. It's soggy and even though I liberally oiled the pan, it still stuck. All in all, this is a solid 4 star recipe. Load up on toppings you love, and it will probably distract you from the crust.

Great as is or with alterations
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe so many ways and love them all. The first time I made it exactly as it is listed--then I used low... sugar tomato sauce (Hunts), added all my own sauteed veggies, turkey pepperoni, or fried ground turkey, grilled chicken and spiniach, made the pizza with pesto instead of tomato sauce. etc. The variations are limitless and always good. Great crust always. This is a great recipe for those who have lost weight with the low carb method and want to keep it off.Read more

Totally satisfying
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I can't believe this was so easy to make, and so good. Even my husband, who's not really doing Atkins with me, thought it was... amazingly tasty. I had problems with it sticking to the pan, even with a generous coating of spray. So, next time I might use a Silpat. But, outstanding recipe, George. Thanks so much!Read more
