Ingredients

Low Calorie Crust: Just less than 3/4 Cup (85g) self-rising flour 1/4 Tsp xanthan gum 1/4 Tsp garlic powder 1/4 Tsp onion powder Pinch of salt 3 Tbsps (50g) Almond milk 1/2 Cup low calorie pizza sauce Heaping 1/3 cup (40g) fat-free mozzarella Heaping 1/3 cup (40g) part-skim mozzarella Optional Crust Coating: 1 Tbsps olive oil 1/2 Tsp of garlic salt Optional Toppings: Pepperoni Anything else you want

Instructions

  1. Add the flour, xanthan gum, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to a large bowl, whisk until combined.
  2. Pour in the almond milk, and use a spatula to mix until a crumbly dough forms. Use your hands to work the ingredients together into a ball of dough.
  3. Wrap the dough with parchment paper, and preheat your oven to 550°F (290°C). Let the dough rest next to the oven as it heats up.
  4. Once the oven reaches around 500 degrees, take out a large piece of parchment paper, and coat your hands with a little bit of flour - along with a rolling pin - over the paper.
  5. Unwrap the dough, and rub some of the flour from your hands on the dough. Lay the dough down on the parchment paper, and use the rolling pin to roll the dough out until it reaches around 10 inches in diameter. 
  6. Use a 7-inch bowl to make a small indent in the top of the dough. Roll the extra dough outside the indent towards the center to form the crust.
  7. Use your hands to flatten and shape the crust and work the crust/dough outwards to get it to be about 9-inches in diameter.
  8. Use a basting brush to cover the crust with olive oil, and then remove any excess parchment paper from around the dough.
  9. Bake the crust for around 3-4 minutes on a pizza tray, and then remove it from the oven.
  10. Add the pizza sauce, along with the cheese - and toppings if using them - and brush the crust again with oil, and top with garlic salt.
  11. Bake again for around 8 minutes - until the cheese has totally melted and the crust is golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven, let cool for just 1-2 minutes, and enjoy!
