Former SSers: pro/fat pizza crust?

15 years ago

For those of you who used to do the SS diet here or other low carb diets, do you remember an SS Level 1 legal, protein/fat pizza crust recipe? I know we had one. I just can't remember what it is.

My little daughter (almost 8 years old) is currently being tested for a number of things, one of which is Celiac's disease. I seem to have some intolerance to grains too (and Celiac's is genetic, so we have to explore this option). She's been a little concerned about some of the favorite foods we might have to give up together--pizza being one of hers. Today I remembered that some 9-10 years ago, I used to make an SS-legal pizza, but I cannot find the recipe or even remember the basic ingredients. Does anyone recall what I'm talking about?

eklektos - Here are a few I had in my files, plus an idea for Portobello mushroom pizzas.

Hope this is what you had in mind.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM VARIATIONS

Brush them with olive oil, or another favorite, and sprinkle with ground pepper, a bit of salt (and any other seasonings, like chipotle pepper), and grill them, keeping them moist with oil.
Turn the portabella gill side down on a non- stick baking sheet and cook them in a 350 degree oven until they lose their moisture and become almost crunchy. Turn them over and cool for a few minutes. Add a little low carb spaghetti sauce and some grated cheese and whatever pizza toppings you can fit on them. Heat until cheese melts and sauce is hot.
Slice into nice chunks, saute in butter, garlic, and fresh ground pepper and deglaze the pan with white wine. Let cook until sauce thickens a bit, pour into a bowl and top with Parmesan cheese.

PRO/FAT PIZZA CRUST
4 oz. cream cheese
2 C shredded Parmesan cheese
2 C crushed pork rinds
4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all ingredients together and press onto a cookie sheet; bake crust 15-20 minutes, until light brown around the edges.
Put toppings on crust and bake an additional 20 minutes.
You could also use this for a cold vegetable pizza. Mix cream cheese with dry ranch dressing and spread on top of crust, top with vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese.

Cream cheese and egg together sounds familiar. I'll give this a try.

Thank you, Marci!

Bokashi Help - Green Mold?
Q
Comments (9)
It has been a while since this question was asked but, have some answers that may help for anyone checking this thread. I'm on my 6th bucket of bokashi and have learned a lot. Also I've had green mold form on the top of my bokashi bucket during fermenting process. The whole bucket had the white good fungus and the top had purified with green mold. My mistake was that I'd covered the top layer with dry cardboard and no bokashi on it. It was the cardboard layer that had the green mold on. The cardboard had gotten wet during the fermenting and was exposed to oxygen. My solution has been to put plastic bags on top of the compost during collecting and fermenting. Press the plastic bag up close to edges and make sure you compress the compost. Also you mention that you're putting your veggies into regular compost and in the bokashi mostly meat, dairy and cooked food with meat or oils in. This is definitely a mistake as bokashi needs to be mostly veggies with some chopped meat and dairy.

Cheeseless pizza toppings
Q
Comments (8)
I don't know much about pizza but this was interesting, so I searched "cheeseless pizza" and found various recipes. The link below looks like a pretty conventional one, which might be good. If you're only going to make one pizza for miss I-can't-eat-cheese, it should be a pretty "safe" pizza. Just in case she also can't eat anchovies, meat, etc. I figure, there are two ways to handle this person. You can serve them some awful cheese-free cardboard scrap, to just meet your minimal hostess obligations to feed her guests, and hope that she and her food restrictions take the hint and never darken your door again. Or you can embrace her cheese-free existence, make a special effort on her meal, and give her a wonderful and memorable experience. I'm a grouch and would do the former, but you're a good person and will do the latter. So, how about making her her very own personalized pizza with the toppings that she likes, using the linked recipe or a similar one as a base? Please let us know how your pizzas turn out and what you end up doing for the cheese free pizza. I'm getting more into homemade pizza. I've always thought of pizza as high-calorie, unhealthy stuff. Maybe the standard take-out pizza is, I don't really know. But I plugged the dough and sauce recipes we use into a calorie count app, and here's what I came up with. One slice (an eighth slice of a 12 inch diameter pizza) has 110 calories, 5 grams protein, 2 grams fat, 20 grams carbs. That includes mozzarella cheese made from skim milk (3/4 cup per pizza), and plenty of sauce, but no other toppings - this is the "base pizza" if you will. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Here is a link that might be useful: Cheeseless Pizza

Veggie Pizza question
Q
Comments (14)
I agree, a pizza dough is too thick and doesn't have the same flavor or texture. I've also made the "veggie pizza" for a million years or so, always with the canned crescent roll dough. I only make it for family parties, etc., so I'm figuring it's a special dish, kind of like the infamous green bean casserole that I make during the holidays. It's the single recipe I make that uses canned cream of mushroom soup in the red and white can, and those canned onion things. Nothing else will do for my girls, though, so I ignore the sodium level in the soup and the fat grams in the onions and how I'm mucking up my lovely organic and home canned green beans, LOL. The veggie pizza is the same, pretty much. I just take a deep breath and do it. (grin) Annie

Hot Topic-- Garbage Disposal
Q
Comments (41)
This is absolutely yucky, yucky, yucky!!! I noticed a nasty smell from our garbage disposal. I knew there were products to counteract this, so figured it must not be all that unusual. I bought a product at the store, but hadn't used it yet. I thought I would run a paper towel around the under side of the rubber gaskets and clean it some. I put my hand down in there and there was a wad of rotted "something" that hadn't gone through the disposal...and had just laid there and rolled around and rotted more each day....it was so nasty, I almost can't write about it. I'm setting here typing with my lip curled in disgust. I hardly ever use the disposal and wish we didn't have it. My husband uses it and never runs enough water through...he wasn't the one who had to clean it out...nasty, nasty..yuck
