Low-Carb Pizza Dough: You can make or purchase low-carb pizza dough made from ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, or cauliflower. These alternative dough options significantly reduce the carbohydrate content.
Vegetable-Based Crust: Use vegetable-based alternatives as a crust. For example, you can create a cauliflower crust or a zucchini crust to reduce the carb content.
Portobello Mushrooms: Portobello mushroom caps can be used as a base for mini pizza calzones. They are low in carbs and can be filled with your favorite pizza toppings.
Lettuce Wraps: Instead of using dough, you can create a lettuce wrap version of pizza calzones. Lay out large lettuce leaves and fill them with pizza ingredients.
Meat-Based Crust: Explore meat-based crusts by using ground chicken, turkey, or beef as a base. These can be formed into a crust and topped with your desired pizza ingredients.
Eggplant Slices: Thinly sliced and roasted eggplant can serve as a low-carb alternative to pizza dough. Use the eggplant slices as the “crust” and top them with pizza toppings.
Cheese Crust: Create a cheese crust by melting and spreading shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella) on a baking sheet, then baking until it becomes crispy. Once it cools, you can fold it to make a low-carb calzone.
