Sometimes you want something other than cauliflower dough pizza. Sometimes you don't want to experiment with making your own crust using low-carb concoctions. Here is an easy thin crust pizza recipe.

Whole portion is 405 calories, 21g net carbs, 25.5g fat, 30.5g protein.
Each piece is 101 calories, 5.2g net carbs, 6.4g fat, 7.6g protein.

Ingredients

1 wrap Damascus All Natural Roll Ups - Whole Wheat Bake Sense or any low-carb wrap

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup  marinara sauce or pasta sauce

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese

1/4 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 F.

Place wrap on a baking sheet lined with foil. Spray/brush olive oil on the wrap. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes, *then turn over the wrap and spray/brush remaining olive oil. Bake for 8 minutes. 

Take the wrap out of the oven and add sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Wait for 1 minute before slicing the pizza.

*Note: The additional baking will give the crust a crispy crunch. You can skip this step if you want to add the ingredients straight on the wrap. Bake for 10-12 minutes instead.

LC Cheese Crostini

I have not missed bread that much since I've been on my low-carb diet but I do miss the convenience of making sandwiches for lunch. I wanted to make a loaf of low-carb bread for sandwiches. So I searched the net to find a recipe.

Well, I found one that looked pretty good and very easy to make. Then I made it. Oh, does it not taste like the way it looked. So, instead of throwing away the whole loaf, I turned it into delicious cheese crostini.
