Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites (132g)
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored pea protein blend (19g)
  • 1 tablespoon whole husk psyllium (7g)
  • 2 pinches sea salt (or regular salt)
  • 1 dash basil
  • 1 dash parsley
  • 1 dash oregano
  • 1 dash onion powder
  • 1 dash garlic powder

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup Rao’s pizza sauce (113g)
  • 1 tablespoon Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (56g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Griddle: Preheat your griddle over medium flame. If necessary, spray with non-stick cooking spray or lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Batter: Beat the crust ingredients — egg whites, pea protein, psyllium husk, salt, and the spices — together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Heat Griddle: Wait until the griddle is hot enough; test by dropping water drops on it—they should sizzle immediately.
  4. Form the Crust: Spread the batter evenly into a circle roughly 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter on the hot griddle.
  5. Cook First Side: Let cook for a couple of minutes until the crust firms up, then carefully flip it over to cook the other side.
  6. Remove Crust: Once both sides are cooked, remove the crust from heat and set aside.
  7. Prepare for Broiling: Line your broiler tray with foil, then place the crust on top of the tray.
  8. Add Toppings: Spread the Rao’s pizza sauce evenly over the crust, sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese, and then top with shredded mozzarella.
  9. Broil: Place under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely until the cheese melts and bubbles to your desired level.
  10. Serve: Remove from broiler carefully, slice, and enjoy your low-carb protein-packed pizza!

Notes

  • Make sure to watch the crust closely when broiling to avoid burning the cheese.
  • You can customize the herbs and spices in the crust based on your taste preferences.
  • This recipe is low in carbs and high in protein, making it ideal for keto or low-carb diets.
  • If you don’t have a griddle, use a non-stick skillet instead.
  • For added flavor, consider adding low-carb toppings such as pepperoni, olives, or sautéed vegetables after broiling.
