In line with what I now call my BFD Diet, that’s “Breakfast For Dinner,” or the Big F’n Deal Diet for short, I did indeed have dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner, AND gluten-free!
Here’s the Day 19 Menu:
This is now my go-to gluten-free, low-carb pizza crust.
Aside from the salad, the day was light on veggies or fruits, but I’m pleased to report I consumed the bulk of my carbs earlier in the day. The breakfast featured a KETO-friendly and gluten-free pizza crust that a friend of mine passed along to me (shout out to Ashley C!) and it’s a great recipe. Called a Fathead pizza crust, it’s a blend of cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, baking powder, and almond flour. Made thin and pre-baked per the instructions, the crust gets nice and crispy, has great flavor, and holds up to all the toppings, you can eat it hand-held, like a regular slice of pizza. Some of those low-carb pizza crust recipes out there crumble apart, you have to eat the pizza with a fork. Not this one. Oh, and I infused the crust with Umami seasoning and garlic, then topped the pizza with pepperoni, mushroom, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
Pepperoni & Mushroom Pizza for breakfast
I fell short of my protein goal (100+ grams per day), but the calorie count was low so overall a good diet day.
From a budget standpoint, almond flour is a bit pricey, but since you don’t need to use a lot of it and it’s treated more as a binding agent for the cream and mozzarella cheeses, it’s not an expensive dough to make (cheaper than anything store bought). Coupled with the egg, the crust delivers a good amount of protein too.
I look forward to making this crust again for a true breakfast pizza, with a white sauce, egg, sausage, bacon, and cheddar cheese!
