Low Carb Pizza with RAGÚ Simply Creamy Garlic Parmesan with Cauliflower Sauce

Low Carb Pizza with RAGÚ Simply Creamy Garlic Parmesan with Cauliflower Sauce

Dough Ingredients:

• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 tsp baking powder (I always sift mine)
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
• 1 large egg, beaten, room temperature

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• In a microwave safe bowl, melt the cream cheese and mozzarella till soft, in short increments. You want it combined but not liquid. Add in the other dry ingredients and mix well with a fork. Add in 1 beaten large egg and mix well
• Oil your hands with olive or avocado oil and knead the dough for a minute
• Allow dough to rest 2 minutes at room temperature
• Roll dough out onto parchment paper on a sheet pan, an oiled pizza stone, or a silicone baking sheet on a sheet pan to an approx 1/4 inch thickness. Adjust to your likeness, though too thick or thin will affect the cook time and how sturdy the dough is.
• Bake until golden brown, approximately 10-15 minutes. Pierce any large bubbles with a fork as it cooks.
• Turn off oven and leave in oven another 5-10 minutes till a deep golden brown
• Allow to cool completely before topping, for best results

Topping the Pizza Crust:

• 1 Cup Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Mexican blend cheese
• 2 cups assorted vegetables and meats. Pre cook veggies in microwave or a skillet a few minutes to desired tenderness and to remove some water. Meats should entirely precooked.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees F
• Spread 1 cup RAGÚ Simply Creamy Garlic Parmesan with Cauliflower Sauce over the crust
• Spread the cheese, then add the toppings of your choice
• Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until cheese is bubbly and done to your desired level
• Allow to set up a minute before you cut it into 8 slices so the cheese doesn’t run all over
• A 12″ Pizza gave 8 pieces, and carbs from the sauce are 12g for the whole pizza. Total carbs will depend on the ingredients used for toppings.
