Low carbohydrate high protein pizza base

Abstract

The subject invention provides unique and novel LOW CARBOHYDRATE HIGH PROTEIN PIZZA BASE. In the first embodiment, said LOW CARBOHYDRATE HIGH PROTEIN PIZZA BASE provides raised, textured pizza base that contain such as but not limited to rice and chicken protein. Other poultry such as but not limited to turkey can be used to replicate said chicken. Uniquely said LOW CARBOHYDRATE HIGH PROTEIN PIZZA BASE is being used as a replacement for traditional high carbohydrate low protein dough used as a pizza base.
