Okay I have got to share this Optavia Pizza Hack! I’ve posted a few pics on Instagram of my attempts. But I’ve finally got a nailed down recipe to share with everyone!

I love pizza, who doesn’t!?! My husband and I used to get pizza once a month regularly. Always the same order too. It was a go to winner when neither of us were up for cooking.

Once I started to eat healthier and try to lose some weight we tried all different kinds of pizza crust. Almond flour crust was pretty good. The cauliflower crusts pizzas were okay but always a little weird. Over all they just weren’t pizza enough!

Once I started the Optavia diet I thought my pizza days were behind me. I didn’t want to buy an expensive cauliflower pizza crust and fill up my freezer if I didn’t have to. Especially when I didn’t really like them anyway. The almond crusts had way too many carbs. There was no way I could fit that in my daily carb count. I definitely went through some pizza withdrawal.

Instead of throwing in the towel, I started experimenting with the Optavia bread hacks. I couldn’t get the Rosemary Biscuit to get crispy without getting dry. Luckily, the Garlic Smashed potato packet makes really great crust! It took a little bit of tweaking to get that balance of crispy crust and a doughy middle but I think we got it!

The technique to make this pizza crust is just another adaptation of the Garlic Potato Bagel recipe on Pinterest. (Click here if you haven’t tried those yet because they are delicious!) Typical to most Optavia hacks you need a liquid protein to bind everything together and some leavening to make it rise. The trick here is to get the bread crispy on both sides.

Since this is more of a technique than a recipe I created a video walking you through the process. I highly suggest watching that first. It will make the blind bake so much easier.

Heads up this is my first cooking video. And it’s sideways. I’ll get better!

Instructions

Bake Crust

  • Mix together the garlic potato packet and baking powder.
  • Pour batter onto parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Top with another piece of parchment paper and spread out the batter to a 1/8 of an inch circle.
  • Top with second baking sheet so the crust is sandwiched between the two sheets.
  • Bake for 8 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

  • While crust is baking, brown ground beef in a saute pan, wash the mushrooms, and measure your toppings.
  • When crust is done, pull out of oven put aside top baking sheet and peel back the top layer of parchment paper. Be careful as paper might stick at this step.
  • Bake for another 8 minutes. When the pizza is ready it should slide right off the parchment paper and easily transfer to a plate.

* I rarely count egg whites. They contain no fat or carbs and only 16 calories per egg white.** You could probably cut this down to 1/2 tsp of Baking Powder and save a condiment for a thinner crust. I haven’t tried that yet.*** From the Optavia recipe conversion guide: Look for tomato sauces with < 50 calories, < 3 g fat, < 200 mg sodium, and ≤ 5 g of carbs per serving = 1 green
