crust – Brenda Nolen

I’ve tried a number of pizza crust substitutes. Some were good but this one is the first one I can say tastes like some kind of bread. O.k. For all those old enough to know what I’m talking about, remember when frozen pizzas first came out? Remember the crusts were … thin and cardboard-like? That’s kinda what this crust reminds me of. My point is: IT TASTES LIKE CRUST! Not cheese, not egg, but actual crust. I doubled the recipe and spread it as thin as they suggested. I was thinking it might be o.k. to leave it a bit thicker but I could pick up the pieces and eat them … like pizza! Another bonus: if you grind your own almond meal (like me) and don’t quite get it all ground, those chunks of almond taste fantastic! lol AND I finally found parchment paper! This stuff just peeled off … I love it!

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
¾ cup almond flour
2 tbs cream cheese
1 egg
Garlic salt
Parchment paper and cookie sheet

This looks similar to that cheese pizza crust we make. I bet this would be awesome, especially since I love spinach. I was one of those kids (please don’t gag) that could eat cold spinach right out of the can! From 2 Atkins friends: “To my taste, this was not terribly breadlike or pizza-dough-like, but yummy. I ate some plain and some cut into strips and dipped in tomato basil sauce. I still have 3/4 of it to play with. I’ll think of something” and “That looks great! I just googled how much fresh spinach to use for 10 oz of frozen and found this, in case anyone else is interested:” When a recipe calls for cooked fresh spinach, 1 pound of fresh spinach will yield 10-12 cups of torn leaves, which will cook down to about 1 cup. One package (10 ounces) of frozen spinach leaves yields about 1-1/2 cups after cooking. Therefore, you can substitute 1 package (10 ounces) frozen spinach leaves for 1-1/2 pounds of fresh spinach.” (from taste of home)”
