A figure friendly pizza

I’ve been making the bases for this pizza for a few weeks now for breakfast. I make them in big batches and then toast them in the morning and spread them with vegemite. So when we had some leftover proscuitto and pasata in the fridge I thought it’d be a perfect oppurtunity to give a wheat free figure friendly pizza a shot.

Base
1 (30g) scoop pea protein powder
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 ts baking powder

Thoroughly combine all the base ingredients in a mixing bowl. It should be the consistency of thick pancake batter.
Generously spray a 9″ non-stick frying pan and heat it to a medium heat. Spread the batter evenly across the pan and wait until bubbles form. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more. Remove from heat and allow to cool on a wire rack if not using straight away.

Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF

Toppings
2 tablespoons pasata
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup low fat mozzerella
1 1/2 slices of proscuitto (parma ham), sliced into thin strips
about 8 marinated artichoke quarters
1/2 sliced onion
1/2 cup small broccoli florets
a handful of rocket
1 ts olive oil
a few shavings of aged Parmesan cheese

Place the base on a oven proof tray and spread the pasata evenly on top. Top with garlic, oregano and mozzarella. Layer on the proscuito, artichoke hearts, brocoli and onion.

Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and add the rocket. Drizzle on the olive oil and sprinkle on the shavings of Parmesan.

I ate half because I wanted the other half for lunch tomorrow. The whole recipe is probably 1 1/2 small serves.

    I love how you are not afraid to eat savoury dishes/meat for breakfast (not just on Sundays) and through the usual cereal, fruit yoghurt stuff!
    Thanks for your comment re my cauliflower experiment- I cooked the second batch longer this time and mashed it with a potato masher (don’t have a food processor yet darn) and the consistency was much better- added a subtle nice texture to oats without being obvious that it was there! :) i will keep doing this!
    will definately do the pancake idea too when Im allowed to put things (ie fruit) on top- counting down to that…
