Today I made low-carb pizza for the first time.
Today, (coincidentally) I also made low-carb pizza for the last time.

@Saltssaltgirl   I will try many things, but low carb pizza just seems wrong lol

@annecavicchi it’s sooo wrong!

@Saltssaltgirl Been there, done that. It actually wasn't bad but so much work making a cauliflower crust.
Show threadSaltyGirlFeb 6, 2023
@caryn I didn’t make a cauliflower crust. The crust was mozzarella cheese, almond flour, baking powder, xanthin gum, and eggs.
Show threadCaryn has movedFeb 6, 2023
@Saltssaltgirl I think I may have made one of those too a few years back. The cauliflower one was better but they're both a lot of work. My daughter just gets a regular pizza and only eats the toppings. I don't think I'd have that much willpower to not eat the crust!

@Saltssaltgirl @caryn Xanthin gum? What could go wrong?

@Saltssaltgirl I make pizza bowls as a low-carb-ish pizza. Pizza bowls are awesome. https://flic.kr/p/bswJnz

@stevendbrewer what goes into the pizza bowl?

@Saltssaltgirl @stevendbrewer
Cheese. It’s mostly a bowl of melted cheese.

@DaisyMurphy @Saltssaltgirl

IT'S NOT JUST CHEESE! :-)

It has sauce (I made great pizza sauce), lebanon balogna (which is like really good summer sausage), pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, three kinds of cheese (mozarella, swiss, and parmesan), and bacon bits on top (to help the cheese brown).

@Saltssaltgirl I ate a gluten-free cookie once and learned that gluten is a very important ingredient in cookies.

@nineball it sure is
Show threadAriaflameFeb 9, 2023
@Saltssaltgirl @nineball Depends on the cookie. My brutti e buoni (italian almond cookies) have sugar, egg white and almond meal and taste just fine thank you.

@Saltssaltgirl Capellos almond crust pizza is the least bad that I have had. After adding extra cheese, it scratched the itch.

@Saltssaltgirl dominoes thin-crust pepperoni is only 11g per slice. I know this for no particular reason… ;) #t1d

@Saltssaltgirl

That's too bad. There are some cauliflower crusts that taste totally fine. I like to put extra cheese and pepperoni on them.

But some of them it's like the people who taste tested it don't know what pizza crust is supposed to taste like. 🤢

Show threadSaltyGirlFeb 7, 2023
@DXMacGuffin it wasn’t cauliflower. The cauliflower crusts tend to be gluten free but not necessarily low carb.

@Saltssaltgirl I bet it tasted so cardboardy that cats would want to jump in it.

@Saltssaltgirl Capello's makes a credible keto pizza. I pile it with lots of toppings. Note I did not say "incredible" -- as a diabetic, I know my low-carb pizza choices.

@Saltssaltgirl What did you try? Cauliflower crust?
Show threadSaltyGirlFeb 9, 2023
@Tweetfiction No. I made a homemade crust using mozzarella cheese and almond flour.

@Saltssaltgirl Ah, the "Fathead Dough" recipe. I kind of like it. My wife hates it. You might try Cauliflower, it's got a little more texture.
