    I have just found a couple of recipes that sound good, not tried them yet, so didn’t want to put on Recipes yet – thought I’d share in case anyone interested. I wouldn’t buy the flax flour but just grind up my flax seeds in my nutribullet. Apparently it is good to have the parmesan very finely grated. I found it here : http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/01/zero-carb-flax-meal-pizza-crust.html. Would be interested in how it compares to the Caulifour pizza base. Will try it soon.

    Flax & Parmesan Pizza Crust

    INGREDIENTS PIZZA BASE
    1 cup flax meal (ground flax seeds)
    ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
    2 eggs

    Mix the flax meal and Parmesan (or Romano) cheese in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and stir until a dough is formed. It will be sticky, let it sit for about 5 minutes or so until it’s easier to work with.
    Wet your hands with water to help keep the dough from sticking to them and press onto greased cookie sheet about ⅓ inch thick in a circle. You should get about a 10 inch crust out of it – if it’s a lot smaller than that you are making it too thick.
    Bake in a preheated 350 degree (F) oven for 8 minutes. Remove.
    Add toppings. Bake for another 15 minutes at 350. Remove.

    TOPPING
    ½ cup sugar free marinara sauce
    1 Italian Sausage Link, cooked and chopped
    ½ cup broccoli florets, cooked
    1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

    SAUCE I make a simple red sauce using 2 cups tomato puree, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp basil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 Tbl olive oil (optional) splash of lemon juice or red wine vinegar. You don’t even need to pre-cook it – just mix it well and spread however much you like on the pizza

    Par-bake the crust as described above.
    Add your toppings and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees (F).
    Cut into 4 pieces. Each piece is considered one serving. 1 piece Calories: 381 Fat: 19g Carbohydrates: 4g Protein: 24g

    Great recipe Barby. I’m a great pizza lover and i’ve tried many times to bake a pizza in my home. My kids too love pizza and they used to ask me home made pizza. I was not able to bring the correct consistency of the pizza dough. So each time, my pizza will look horrible. All these days I used to order take & bake pizzas Vancouver online ( http://www.freshslice.com/take-n-bake/ ). I’ll try this recipe soon and hope that it’ll come out well.
