Ingredients
Crust:
- 4 egg whites (132g)
- 3 tablespoons Warrior Blend natural (unflavored) protein powder or other unflavored pea protein(19g)
- 1 tablespoon whole husk psyllium (7g)
- two pinches of sea salt
- a dash each of basil, parsley, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder
Topping:
- ½ cup tomato sauce (113g)
- 1 tablespoon Locatelli Romano cheese, grated (5g)
- ½ cup low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (56g)
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle over a medium flame. (If necessary, first spray with non-stick cooking spray or rub with a few drops of olive oil.)
- Beat the crust ingredients until smooth.
- Wait until the griddle is hot enough (when drops of water sizzle up).
- Spread your batter into a circle (about 10 inches, 25cm diameter).
- After a couple of minutes, flip over.
- Remove from heat.
- Line your broiler tray with foil, and place crust on top.
- Top with tomato sauce, grated cheese, and mozzarella.
- Broil for a few minutes, until cheese is melted to your liking.
- Remove from broiler, and enjoy!
Notes
This makes a soft crust pizza. For a crispier crust use a pizza screen or stone, and bake (instead of broil) until the cheese is melted.
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not recommend using other types of protein powder. If you prefer to use whey protein, see my Sicilian Protein Pizza recipe. Also, don't leave out or substitute the psyllium husk. It gives the crust the bread-like texture we need.
