Ingredients
- Crust:
- 4 large egg whites
- 3 Tbsp ground flaxseed meal
- 5 drops liquid Stevia (optional sweetener)
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- dash sea salt (or salt)
- 1/4 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Toppings:
- 1/4 c tomato sauce with Italian herbs
- 1/3 c pizza blend cheese
- approx. 1/4 c green bell pepper, chopped (about 26 g)
- Pepperoni (about 14 slices)
- dash of oregano
- dash of italian seasoning
Preparation
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 410 degrees F.
In a 9″ metal cake/pie pan, combine egg whites with sweetener, then whisk together. Add in the salt, garlic powder, parsley, & flaxseed meal. Whisk well.
Whisk in the baking powder, then set aside & let it sit for about a minute or two so the baking powder can activate & “fluff” up a bit.
Step 2
Place in the oven for about 10 minutes. It’ll be done when the edges pull away from the sides & look slightly browned or crisp & the crust will be fairly flat.
Remove the crust from the oven & top the crust with the tomato sauce, cheese, veggies, pepperoni, & seasonings.
Step 3
Turn the broiler on & place the pizza under the broiler for about 7-8 minutes, until it gets slightly crisp looking & starts to bubble up a bit.
Remove pizza from oven, let cool slightly, then slice & enjoy!
