2.5 gm carb @ Slice Pizza
http://www.getlowcarbcreations.com/pizza.htm
And Domino's thinks its great! What to Do Atkins dieters will order a hamburger and get rid of the top bun. Hey, pizza already comes without a top layer of carbs, but if you really want a low-carb pizza, you're out of luck, right? Wrong. The first thing we did was to put in a call to Tom "The Dough Doctor" Lehmann with the American Institute of Baking. He responded like the true professional he is and has provided us with a low-carb recipe, which can be found on page 40 in part three of this series. If you don't want to make your own, there are other solutions out there. Low Carb Creations has just recently stepped up to the plate and started offering a frozen, pre-formed low carb dough, pre-cheesed pizzas and a low-carb dough mix. With all of the hype and buzz about this low-carb thing, I had to try this out myself. PMQ called Laura with Low Carb Creations and asked if they could send some samples for us to try out. A few days later, we received a cold-pack box and called a local pizzeria to see if we could commandeer their kitchen to do some tests. We made two of the pre-made cheese pizzas and two pizzas with various Atkins-friendly toppings, meaning lots of meats and cheese, and ran them through the conveyor ovens. I first want to start by saying, as editor, I try to keep from pushing any specific company in our editorial. I think it damages our credibility, so I try to keep the mention of companies to a minimum unless it involves some informative aspect to the article. This company does. Now I admit, I am not on any diet. I only weigh about a buck sixty. Sitting behind this desk and eating pizza is starting to make me reconsider, but I wanted to try this low-carb crust to see how it compared to regular crust. Naturally, it doesn't have the full flavor of regular dough, but I will say, if I were on a diet, I wouldn't have any problems eating it, especially if pizza had been off of my list for any length of time. Local Domino's Pizza franchisee Diane Barrentine tasted the product and said, "I definitely think this is a product that is ready to go to market. All that is needed is a marketing strategy to let people know about it." Two other testers who have been on the Atkins diet for a while said, "This is great. I haven't been able to eat anything but the toppings off of the pizza for so long, this is a blessing." Indeed. Here is your opportunity. If you offer bread with the meal, why not cut some of your costs and rather than automatically bring bread, have a sever offer bread. Also, let customers know that wings are Atkins friendly, with the exception of those with honey in the seasoning, like honey barbecue. -- preesi ~~~My Mom and her Sister skip cheerily, arm and arm thru the crowded Mall loudly singing "Sisters, Sisters" from the movie 'White Christmas' and you wonder why Im a weirdo?~~~ http://mywebpages.comcast.net/preesi/Portal.htm (All 5 Of My Sites Under One Easy To Use Link) http://www.PetitionOnline.com/Splenda1/petition.html (Sign the Low Carb Splenda Petition-Get Liquid Splenda on the Market!) |

The funny thing is, I got the impression that Tom "The Dough Doctor" Lehmann has not ever actually made this kind of dough. |
