Light Pizza Base

Updated: Apr 6, 2019


 


Everyone loves Pizza, but sadly it isn't very healthy. It is also a very heavy meal, so you may know the stomach problems after eating a pizza. To get away from this heavy feeling after eating a Pizza, I created this recipe.

You won't have the desire to lay down to digest it, because you'll still feel well, regardless of your choice of toppings.




This pizza base can be made gluten free, keto, paleo and low carb. It is easy and fast to make and doesn't need any time for proofing, as it contains no yeast or anything like that.

It is very light and you can top it with whatever you like without the heavy feeling afterwards.



 

yields one small 8 inch pizza (for one person)

Ingredients:


  • 1 large egg

  • 3 tbsp plain greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp whole wheat flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • toppings of your choice

*see below for substitutions **depending on how hungry you are, you may double the recipe to get a 11 inch pizza, because the crust isn't as filling as a normal one


Method:

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a bowl or a food processor mix all the ingredients together, the batter will be very liquid.

Spread the batter on the prepared baking tray and bake it for 20 to 25 minutes.


Take it out of the oven and top it with the toppings of your choice.


Put it back in the oven until the cheese is melted for about 5 to 10 minutes. You can also set the oven to broil in this step.


Slice it and enjoy!

Notes:


Flour: You can replace the whole wheat flour with normal flour, oat flour, all purpose gluten free flour, whey protein powder or almond meal. I recommend to add a pinch of guar gum if you use a the almond flour.


Egg: As far as I know, you can't replace the egg in this recipe, because it is the main ingredient.


Yogurt: You can use full fat or fat-free greek yogurt or even a dairy free substitute.
