This wheat-free pizza recipe was featured on Dr. Oz’s wheat free diet recipes. If you are aiming to go with gluten free or wheat free for the Wheat Belly Diet then this might be a pizza recipe you enjoy trying.
Good wholesome ingredients and low carb recipes are always good choices to add to your arsenal of recipes to fight that fat! Always aim to use fresh ingredients to get the most benefit from any recipe. With the one featured here, I recommend using fresh tomatoes and mixing up your own marinara to ensure there is no added sugar or preservatives.
Watch the sausage ingredients on the package to make sure sugar hasn’t been slipped in for that added flavor they think you need. Instead of dried oregano, use a bit of fresh, finely chopped.

In a food processor, pulse the mozzarella until it becomes granular in size.

Spread a large sheet of parchment paper over a baking sheet. Place the dough on the parchment paper and lay a second sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough. Flatten with a rolling pin into a 14″ round.
Carefully remove the top layer of parchment paper. Use a spoon or your hands to form a crust edge. Bake for 20 minutes.
