INGREDIENTS
crust
1 egg
1 tbs. psyllium husk
1 tbs. almond flour (ground almonds)

Mix those together then cook like a pancake. You could also add herbs and spices (I like garlic!)

top
1/2 tsp. pesto sauce
2 tbs. feta
2 sundried tomatoes (in oil)
1 mild italian sausage

After you put your toppings on.. Pop it in the oven until the cheese has started to turn a little brown. I like to bake myn at 425. The crust gets a little bit crispier but it still very much like soft dough.

ENJOY

That looks tasty. Is that life size? One egg and 1 tbs each of silly-um husk and almond flour actually stay together and stuff when you cook it? What is the approx diameter of the crust? (I don't need to know the circumference or anything)

[kickchickbecca]

yes they do hold together!

No, unfortunately that is not a life size pic. It is actually about 6-7 inches.

no, the recipe needs more fiber so you can probably add another tbsp of the flour to substitute or use ground flax seeds maybe. walmart might have it or check a health food store or gnc, vitamin shoppe, etc. you want whole psyllium husks, not the powder.

recipe looks great!

wal-mart does sell it, though you have to look carefully. sometimes it doesn't always say psyllium husk. you'll have to find a sales associate if you have trouble.

so i just made this and it was really good. although i made it will psyllium powder instead of the husk (i didn't see that it called for the whole husk rather than the powder). I had to add just a little bit of water to it because it was way too thick. do they keep the whole husk in the same section of stores as the powder?

yes
should be in the same area. it says whole husks

[msm3921]

oh alright well ill be sure to look for it next time i go to the store then cause it seems like a lot of people use it in their recipes

[kickchickbecca]

you don't actually need to psy husk!
You could easily add more almond flour.. or ground flax seed! I was just trying to add more fiber!
