added about 1/3 cup in this way, pour the rest of the liquid into the eggs. Add the

remaining cream. Add salt and pepper to this sauce and stir it into the pasta. Add the

cheeses to the pasta and stir again. Put the mixture in the casserole dish. Dot with the

butter and bread crumbs. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the top begins to brown (do

not let the bread crumbs get too dark).

Soft-Crust Pizza

Note: If you like soft, chewy pizza, here is a low-carb version that will please you. Soft

and thicker crusts require more dough, though, which makes the carb count rise. Make

this pizza an occasional treat – perhaps to keep you from running to a pizza parlor or

calling for delivery.

Regular pizza dough usually calls for about 3 cups of flour (if you want to make

pizza at home). You can make a big pizza with all that flour, but one slice of a 16-inch

pizza could have 34.0 grams of carb just for the crust. You can see what you are up

against. Regular pizzas are true carb killers. This crust has 7.7 grams of carb per

serving.

SERVING SIZE,1 slice (12-inch pizza). CARBS PER SERVING, (CRUST ONLY): 7.7

grams of carb. NUMBER OF SERVINGS: 8.

Ingredients:

cup cold water

1/3 cup hot water

Tablesps olive oil

package rapid-rise yeast

cup stone ground whole-wheat flour

cup whole almond meal

cup soy protein powder

salt (about ¼ Teasp or to taste)

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Lightly oil a 14-inch pizza pan.

Combine the cold water, boiling water, and olive oil in a medium-size mixing

bowl. Add the yeast and stir. While the yeast activates (it needs to adds sugar),

combine the stone ground whole-wheat flour, almond meal, soy protein powder (except

for the last Tablesp), and salt in another mixing bowl; stir. Add the dry mix to the yeast

mix and stir with a fork until the moisture is pretty well absorbed. Work the dough by

hand until smooth (it takes a few seconds). Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for

about 10 minutes.

While the dough rises, prepare sauce and toppings (see pages 186 and 187).

Spread the dough to fit the pizza pan and form an edge. Build the pizza. Bake

for about 15 to 18 minutes or until bubbly and done.
