Ingredients
For the Crust:
4 egg whites (132g)
3 tablespoons unflavored pea protein blend (19g)
1 tablespoon whole husk psyllium (7g)
2 pinches sea salt (or regular salt)
Dash each of basil, parsley, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder
For the Topping:
½ cup Rao’s pizza sauce (113g)
1 tablespoon Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese
½ cup low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (56g)
Instructions
Preheat a griddle pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, beat all crust ingredients until smooth.
Once the griddle is hot (drops of water sizzle on contact), spread batter into a 10-inch (25cm) circle.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, flip, and cook the other side until firm. Remove from heat.
Line a broiler tray with foil and place the crust on top.
Add pizza sauce, Pecorino Romano, and mozzarella cheese.
Broil for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe makes a soft crust pizza. For a crispier version, bake on a pizza stone or crisper until cheese is melted.
Do not substitute the pea protein blend — whey protein behaves differently and will change the texture.
Whole husk psyllium is essential for creating a bread-like texture.
