Deep Dish Pizza :)

This is wonderful..Too bad the picture is sideways..I'm not good at pictures, but you can get the idea..[IMG]

[/IMG]

I got a one inch 12 inch deep dish pizza pan and sprayed the bottom and put
in parchment paper and sprayed that..

Preheat oven to 375.

***Start your sauce

Crust is basically Maria's Healthified Pizza Crust with some tweaks:

1 1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup plain protein powder
4 Tbs. psyllium husk powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. grated parmesan
1 Tbs. Italian seasoning
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
Boiling water (start with a drizzle until a ball forms, then stop)

Mix dry ingredients..Then add eggs and mix well..If this is still dry, add water very slowly, very slowly. Then let it sit for a little bit. Then plop the crust into the prepared pan (you could use a cake pan). Spread it out with your palm sprayed with Pam so it doesn't stick. I went up the sides, too and it stayed up great.

On the bottom of the crust add mozzarella cheese, either slices or 2 cups of
shredded.

Next layer is raw Italian sausage. I used a whole package of the Italian links (sweet) from Johnsonville.5 or 6 I slit the casings and put the raw meat in a bowl, then pressed it firmly onto the cheese so it would cook evenly.

***Next layer is one 14 ounce can of diced tomatoes cooked for about 15 minutes in a saucepan with Italian seasoning, onion powder (or fresh diced onion), garlic powder, etc..all to taste. You could also use green pepper or whatever tiny bits of veggies you would like.

Spread the sauce over the top and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then slice...

Oh my goodness..So easy and good.

You didn't pre-bake the crust?
Sounds easy.

CarolynF · 01-08-2013, 03:27 PM

Nope, I was a bit worried about that, but it cooked up just fine. I was afraid the sides would slip down if I didn't have the sausage to hold it up..

CarolynF · 01-08-2013, 03:30 PM

For 1/6th of this pizza, the calories would be around 400 and the carbs would be around
6 net carbs. FYI..

drjlocarb · 01-08-2013, 04:06 PM

Can I have a piece? Please!

CarolynF · 01-08-2013, 05:01 PM

It is all gone. Our adult son came over and helped us eat and took a piece home. They both loved it.

CarolynF · 02-16-2013, 12:44 PM

Ginaaaaaa · 02-16-2013, 01:38 PM

I was all excited to see a recipe for a L.C. crust that you don't have to bake first, then I saw the psyllium husk powder. Don't have any ................ oh well....... ; o )....... Ann

CarolynF · 02-16-2013, 06:19 PM

What do you have??? Oat fiber would be good or leave it out..It is a very flexible crust.

socaligirl714 · 02-19-2013, 11:31 AM

that sounds so good! i tried the creamcheese crusted pizza and had a stomach ache after...

DixieMoon · 02-19-2013, 11:45 AM

Carolyn, this looks great. Do you need to put the cheese on the bottom first to make it firm like a slice of pizza to "hold up" or is this just your preference?

SassySauce · 02-19-2013, 12:01 PM

Looking forward to making this tomorrow night!

Carolyn: In what quantity would you substitute oatfiber and psyllium husk? Thanks!

CarolynF · 02-19-2013, 01:25 PM

I might just add 2 Tbs. of the oat fiber..
