Low Carb Pizza Crust with Lupin Flour

You know I have been making Low Carb Lupin Flour Bread for a while and love it so much that I thought I must be able to make a Low Carb Pizza Crust with Lupin Flour.

So I basically cut the bread recipe in half and made a great pizza crust that we all can love. Lupin flour has become such a staple in our house and I will experiment with lupin flour in other recipes because its such a great product.

Everyone needs a healthy pizza crust recipe no matter what diet you may be on, pizza is a must! And this low carb pizza crust recipe is here just for you.

So lets get started and I will show you how to make it!

1/2 cup (42g) Lupin Flour (7 tablespoon)

3/4 cup (96g) Vital Wheat Gluten

Just under 1/3cup (19g) Oat Fiber (6.12 tablespoon )

2 tablespoon powdered sweetener ( I used erythritol and monk fruit mixture)

3/4 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum

1/2 cup (100g) warm water

1/2 tablespoon Instant or Quick Rise Yeast SAF

1/2 teaspoon Honey

1 tablespoon (15g) soft Butter

1 egg room temperature (lightly beaten)

—————————————————————————————————————–
Weigh your ingredients!

Add your dry ingredients together in a bowl: vital wheat gluten, oat fiber, lupin flour, salt, xanthan gum, and powdered sweetener. Whisk, all your dry ingredients until well mixed. Set aside.
In a bowl add your water, yeast, and honey. With the paddle attachment, mix well. Add softened butter and lightly beaten room temperature egg to yeast mixture. Mix well. Now add the entire bowl of your dry ingredients. Switch from the paddle attachment to the dough hook and on medium speed, knead for 7minutes.
Make your dough in a ball and place back in the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, place in microwave with a 4 cup measuring cup full of boiling water from the kettle.
Close the microwave door and let the dough rise. After about 40 minutes remove from the microwave, split your dough in half to make two thin-crust or leave it whole for a regular crust.
I cut parchment paper to fit the bottom of my pizza pan, laid the parchment paper on the counter placed my dough on it and then used one of my silicone mats and placed on top of the dough. Using a rolling pin roll out your dough and the cut out parchment paper will be your guide to make the dough round.
Once you have the dough rolled out you can add anything you want to make your pizza. I added cheese, black olives, pepperoni, mushrooms and peppers.
Preheat oven to 400 F
Place on middle rack of oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it, I found the bottom of my crust was getting very dark so I put the oven on broil and keeping an eye, let the topping and cheese lightly brown up.
Remove from oven and let sit for couple on minutes. Cut and serve!
