THANK YOU BIKERGODDESS!!!!!

[Rachel]

I just wanted to thank you for the Pizza recipe!
I saw it listed, and last night decided to make it for myself and made regular pizza for my two daughters and dh. DH even ventured to taste my pizza and commented on how similar to regular pizza it tasted.
Thanks for giving me yet another flavourful dish to keep me going at this way of eating!

Yum!! I know what I'm making for dinner tonight. Thanks for the recipie; as a devout consumer of pizza, I've been jonesing like mad!

What do you think the carb count is?

[BikerGoddess]

It really depends on what you put on it, but with pepperoni, black olives, and hamburger, it's about 5-6g per slice.

You can cut carbs by grating your own cheese, using tomato sauce instead of pizza sauce, leaving off olives, watching the brand of pepperoni, etc.

Re: THANK YOU BIKERGODDESS!!!!!

is the crust on this anything like the mock danish?

[BikerGoddess]

Re: THANK YOU BIKERGODDESS!!!!!

Sorry, haven't been following up on this thread. To be honest, other than the toppings, I have no clue how you can modify the recipe.

The crust is very quiche-like. It vaguely resembles deep dish pizza and isn't crisp at all. I've not had the mock danish, so I can't comment on that.

Irish Irish made it in several pans and it got real crispy for her I thnk she used 3 pans for one recipe that way she cut the carbs down too and still injoyed her pizza toppins on her bikergodess pizzas

Re: THANK YOU BIKERGODDESS!!!!!

This is the best, and I love it also and vary the toppings. I have been toying with the idea of using the crust for an enchilada base with maybe a little cumin instead of italial Seasoning and white cheese. Then on top layering onions and chicken and cheese and enchilada sause. When I try it Ill let you know how it works.

Re: THANK YOU BIKERGODDESS!!!!!

I've been thinking of turning it into a taco pie. On the crust I'd omit the italian seasonings and add cumin and perhaps other taco seasonings. Once the base is done I'd add taco meat (made without the seasoning packets, of course!) a bit of cheese and then lettuce, tomatoes and perhaps some cilantro. MMMMmmmm

I make this recipe in my pyrex glass dish that's bigger than 13 x 9, and the crust comes out thinner and I like it that way!!! Once I forgot to add the 2 cups of cheese to the bottom of pan before pouring the crust in. It came out fine, but the crust was thinner and cooked faster.

Last year somewhere I remember reading that someone (Cleo, perhaps?) used the base but added legal alfredo sauce and other things and made it into a "white pie".

This recipe is very flexible!!

Re: THANK YOU BIKERGODDESS!!!!!

I made this recently and it is FABULOUS!!!! My husband said it was the best "low carb" meal that I've baked so far.

Re: THANK YOU BIKERGODDESS!!!!!

Its time to bump this recipe up to the top. Highly recommended to folks who need a great menu idea. Induction friendly also

Re: THANK YOU BIKERGODDESS!!!!!

Bump!

I made this this weekend. I cut in half the amount of cheese sprinkled on top, because there was already so much dairy in it. For toppings, I used sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced olives, hot sausage, and pepperoni. I skipped the sauce to save on some carbs. This was amazing. Hubby loved it too. I ate 2 pieces, and he at 6! Boy was it good. Oh, I almost forgot, we drizzled it with garlic butter after it was done baking. Yum!!!
