A delicious pizza that is blood sugar friendly and offers the classic taste you love
I have a confession. I am not a huge pizza lover. I know. I know. You are judging me.
There are days, however, where I just want a good, cheesey slice of pizza. If you’re wanting to increase your fiber, or need a gluten free alternative for pizza give this Blood Sugar Friendly Pizza a try!
Why this recipe benefits your PCOS…
This recipe is high in protein and has a low glycemic index. Using cheeses to glue it all together help us not spike blood sugars and keep them steady. I love topping this pizza with mushrooms, onions, and peppers that add in a little more fiber with lots of flavor.
Adding meat to the pizza will also increase the protein amount.
Allergy Friendly
This recipe is great for those with a gluten allergy or intolerance.
PCOS Friendly Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup low-carb tomato sauce or marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your choice of toppings e.g., pepperoni, broccoli, tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, olives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the dough mixture. Stir until the dough is evenly combined.
- Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Use your hands to shape the dough into a round pizza crust, approximately ¼-inch thick. You can also make smaller individual-sized crusts.
- Transfer the parchment paper with the shaped crust onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Spread the low-carb tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add your choice of keto-friendly pizza toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
