I came across a nearly zero Carb! flat bread recipe. I whipped it up for my wife in less than 10 minutes. It was not bad at all. She even said it might make a good pizza recipe. So, I will present it, and then list the modifications I plan to try next. I will update over the next days or weeks as I progress. But it is worth sharing now, if for nothing else as a ZERO Carb flat bread recipe! . Gluten-Free AND Wheat-Free AND even Grain-Free: . Ingredients: 3 Tbl Ground Flax (I used cold-milled golden flax seed, more like a flour, though meal would probably work too) 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp paprika Note: WE did not have any Paprika left, my wife wanted Cumin, and I used Garlic Powder and Oregano in mine.) 1 Tbl (melted) oil (Recipe calls for and we use Coconut Oil, though EVOO is probably good, too.) 1 Tbl water (We use whole house filtered water.) 1 large egg (We use local Pastured chicken eggs, see future mod plans for alternatives.) 1 pinch salt ( I did about 6 shakes of Himalayan Crystal Salt.) . Directions: Mix all dry ingredients together. Stir in 1 Tbl oil. Beat in the egg and the water. Grease a microsafe pie plate. Pour in batter and spread evenly. Microwave on high about 4 minutes or less. Let cool 5 minutes. . Future mods/attempts: 1.) First, try it with 2 egg whites. 2.) Try it next with 1 egg in oven. Parchment Paper with Temp and time in oven - TBD ??? 3.) Then try 2 egg whites in oven. 4.) Finally once I find the best combo, preferably egg whites and in the oven, then scale it larger, as if for a pizza base. Doubling the recipe. 5.) Once I scale it p, then try it as a pizza base, cooking first as with the cauliflower/cheese pizza crust version, and broil the pizza after toppings added. . Cheers!

UPDATE: . 1.) I forgot to include Nutrition (P,C,F) info. Though NOTE that this is not a balanced meal/snack, but meant to be used as part of, as a bread substitute. Though I imagine, when look it up, because of the Flax seed, it will be high in fat. And although Flax can be converted to Omega-3, it is a very inefficient process. . 2.) I tried it this morning, as part of breakfast, introducing 2 variations (variables) .... a.) I used EVOO instead of Coconut oil (Original recipe called for Coconut oil) , and b.) I baked in the oven at 350 deg F. Bake for about 12 - 15 minutes. . . Nutrition Info: Fat 25g Protein 10.1 (But only 6g useable from egg) Carb (6.7 minus 6.2 fiber =) .5 netCarbs . I have not yet tried egg whites only instead of whole egg. But that would reduce fat in recipe. Approximately 10g fat from Flax seed
