Lower-Carb Pizza Dough
From chef and author Wolfgang Puck
Low-carb doesn't have to mean low taste! Famous for his signature pizzas,
Wolfgang Puck came up with a reduced-carb version of his pizza dough for the
'Cut the Carbs, Lose the Weight' series on Good Morning America.
Ingredients
1/4
ounce yeast
1/2
teaspoon honey
1
cup warm water
2
1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1
teaspoon salt
4
teaspoons olive oil
Directions
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup of the warm water.
In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the salt. Add the
oil, yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and mix on low speed.
Form dough into 2 1/2 ounce balls. With a floured rolling pin, roll out the
dough to form 8-inch rounds.
After making the dough, you can add a variety of toppings,
such as chicken, eggplant, shrimp, broccoli rabe, raw veggies, plus tomato sauce
and some cheese. Cook in a hot oven, 500° F.
Yield: Makes 4 8-inch pizzas
