Recipe: LOW CARB PIZZA

This pizza recipe uses my pizza dough and tomato and basil sauce recipes.
If you are using pizza dough from the freezer it doesn't take long to defrost. It is, however, best to let it defrost for a couple of hours so that the dough has a chance to warm up. It's easier to roll when it's at room temperature.

There are no real rules when it comes to toppings for your low carb pizza, but it is best to try and avoid processed meats (as tasty as they are) such as peperoni and salami. Chicken and fish are excellent protein choices.

My usual choice of toppings are: mushrooms, spinach, red pepper and ham or chicken. I might sometimes have tuna or pesto. Please share your favourite toppings in the comments below to give us all some new ideas.
