Whey Pizza Crusts

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Now, use the bake mix to make your Pizza Crusts.

Yield: 2 pizzas with 12 slices each, or 24 servings. The carb count of your toppings will vary, depending on what you use, but the crust will add just 2.6 grams of carbohydrates, no fiber, and 6 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 3/4 cup water, less 1 tablespoon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Whey Bake Mix #1 (see page 147)
  • 2/3 cup vital wheat gluten
  • 1/2 cup wheat bran
  • 1/3 cup natural whey protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons Splenda
  • 1 tablespoon spelt flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon skim milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon bread machine yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt

 

INSTRUCTION

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F, and warm the water in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  2. Place the water, olive oil, Bake Mix #1, wheat gluten, wheat bran, protein powder, Splenda, flour, sugar, skim milk powder, yeast, and salt in the bread machine.
  3. Program the bread machine for pizza dough, or knead and first rise.
  4. When the dough is ready, remove it from the machine and divide it in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough as far as possible. Cover with a towel, and allow to sit for 10 to 20 minutes. Grease two 12-inch pizza pans.
  5. Roll the dough again. Place it on the pizza pans, and roll it out to fit each pan, using a small rolling pin or another small cylindrical object.
  6. Cover the crusts with pizza sauce, toppings, and grated cheese.
  7. Bake on lowest oven rack for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crusts are browned.
