(Food)-A lot of what we consider common sense, are lies

This is a low carb, thin crust pizza dough recipe I’ve been figuring out over the past few months:

Ingredients: Yeast, Flour, Almond Flour, Psyllium Flour. (Optional: A dash of Garlic powder and bouillon seasoning. A bit of extra flavor helps a lot)

1 – 2 Cups warm water, add a healthy shake of dry yeast and let it activate over 15 minutes. Add a squirt of honey or sugar, just a very small amount to feed the yeast. This is more for flavor as this dough doesn’t tend to rise. If you want extra pizza dough for later, use more mater.

Add equal parts flour and Almond flour until the dough is of a consistency of pizza dough, about 1/10th Psyllium Flour (this acts as a binder and has other health benefits). The almond flour makes this FAR EASIER than standard pizza dough recipes to get all the flour incorporated with the water as well as shape into a crust.

Because this doesn’t really rise, you don’t have to wait, add a little melted bacon fat, or Olive oil to a cast iron skillet, add a small amount of dough and flatten it as much as possible. You want to get the dough as flat as possible, this is where it gets healthy. It’s already only 1/2 standard flour, the fact that it’s 1/2 almond flour makes the dough MUCH easier to flatten out and push into a round shape.

Once you have the dough covering the pan, turn on the heat and let it brown up on the bottom over the medium heat over one of your oven ranges for a couple minutes. While this is happening go ahead and make your pizza. Hit it with a solid amount of tomato sauce and then some mozzarella cheese. Whatever toppings you like. If you want to be healthy do some chicken, basil tomato. Or you can do whatever.

Then it’s just 12 minutes in the over at 430 degrees. Follow up with 2 minutes under the broiler if the toppings need a bit of browning.

I’ve been eating this pizza for a few months now and it’s filling, healthy, cheap, and easy to make.

When i get a hankering for French fries these days, I sauté garbanzo beans in bacon fat and hit it with a little bit of choice seasonings. There’s a 4 minute window right off the frying pan where they taste almost as good French fries, but then the flavor falls off hard so you gotta eat ’em fast soon as they’re ready.

I’ve been a lot more health conscious the past couple years, and it took me forever to find a decent pizza crust recipe so i figured I’d share.

Anyone reading this wanting to get into healthy home cooking can experiment with even healthier measurements of psyllium powder to Almond flour, to regular white flour, just be careful not to increase the psyllium proportion beyond 10% since it doesn’t have the best taste and can clog up your insides in too high a dose. But I’ve found the 50/50 mixture to be the perfect combo for almond flour and regular flour. If you’re gonna make a pizza, you might as well enjoy the damned thing and not make the dough taste like garbage, the trick is getting it really thin.
