Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut Joseph’s pitas around their seamed circumference so you can separate each one into two very thin rounds.
-
Microwave each one for 50 seconds on a paper plate or bake them in the oven until golden brown and crispy (check every minute or so as they burn easily).
-
Top crisped pitas with tomato paste and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper.
-
Add small amount of skim mozzarella then spread on some 1% cottage cheese to create a more cheesier feel without adding fat or too many calories.
-
Add turkey pepperoni or bacon, and any veggies you desire (green peppers and onions work well).
-
Place under broiler until toppings bubble.
Note
Pearl Chats: "Sometimes I just can’t be bothered making a crust from scratch and this is when I rely on my “personal choice” items that Serene calls “franken foods.” Joseph’s low-carb lavash bread works great here but you can use a Joseph’s pita and divide it into two very thin pizza bases by cutting around the circumference then dividing in two. Low-carb tortillas and also work as thin crust pizza bases. It’s important to pre- bake these crusts to make them sturdy enough to hold the toppings but that only takes a few minutes. We Drive Thru Sue types are best not to overdo these “personal choice” items. I stick to half a Lavash or one full pita and have a side salad to help fill me up but that is not enough for my husband so I make him a full lavash."
