    AZ Traveler,
    Dang John, did you have to post that? We are doing the Atkins thing to get ready for OK and really didn't need to see a pizza looking that good. Kim walked by and looked over my shoulder as I brought your post up and echoed my sentiments. I wonder if they have carb filters for this forum? -RP

    BENTE,
    We like the pineapple so we usually put it on all the pizzas.
    Hope your cooks go well tomorrow. John

    Oh boy, does that pizza look good! Good gosh I'm hungry for some....but I'll have to wait until Thursday, my dough is in a delayed fermentation stage and is resting in the frig.
    Nice work with yours, perfect color on that crust.

    That fridge rise is the way to get the flavor. -RP

    AZ Traveler,[p]Oh I am definitely coming to your house for dinner!! That looks soooo good!!
  • AZRP,[p]You can make a real good low carb pizza which works good on the Atkins or any low carb diet on a pan. One large serving or 1/2 of one of these pizzas has only 4.2 carbs. [p]37MVC-002E.jpg[p]My low carb sauce as you see in the picture contains just 10.5 grams of carbos total and will do three pizzas. This chunky sauce is very easy to make and very good.[p]37MVC-003E.jpg[p]Some of the ingredients.[p]37MVC-004E.jpg[p]I make the pizzas on the low carb tortillas and these come in about a 9" diameter and have 5 carbs per tortilla. [p]37MVC-005E.jpg[p]Sauce em up.[p]37MVC-006E.jpg[p]Load em up with whatever you like as long as it is no carb or low carb. [p]37MVC-007E.jpg[p]Ready for the cooker.[p]37MVC-008E.jpg[p]The results. I cut these pizzas in half for a serving and again, it is about 4.2 grams of carbos per serving. [p]Dave[p]

    Come on, will have pizza again in about 2 days. I have one more piece of dough resting in the fridge. AZ

    ClayQ,
    I will probably fix another one Thursday. I'm with you and AZRP on the dough rise. The one I made last night had been in the fridge since Sunday. Its other half will have fermented 5 days (probably max) when I use it. Enjoy, AZ

    Old Dave,
    Those are some nice looking pizzas, I will need to try those sometime soon. I especially like the jalapenos. AZ

    All righty then...., it's a pizza party on Thursday! It's going to be interesting as I'm using sourdough for the first time with pizza. My plan is to bake the sourdough first then add toppings and bake again. Keeping it light with a thin sauce, cheese, onion and mushrooms. I hope this works, he he. Gotta buy some Concannon merlot for this.
    Good luck and have fun.

    AZRP,
    So much to learn, and that's half the fun. Ok, a three day delayed fermentation then rolling out 4 individual pizza's tomorrow. That's what I want...great flavor for the pizza party.

    ClayQ,
    Let me know how the sourdough comes out as I have been planning on giving it a go. I like your idea about pre-baking the dough. I think that would work good. Enjoy, John
