Grain Free Stuffed Pizza Bread is primal and low carb with paleo options. I love pizza, and spent many years avoiding it because I was always on a low-fat diet.
Then I spent a few years avoiding it, because of the gluten and high carb count. So, this is why I keep making so many grain free, low carb pizza recipe options.
This recipe is a marriage of pizza and pizza bread sticks. These are great as mini sandwiches or appetizers, or an anytime pizza snack.
You can vary the filling ingredients as well, depending on what you like on your pizza. I made my own pizza sauce, so I could avoid extra carbs and unhealthy ingredients. But, if you have a store bought pizza sauce that has ingredients that are safe, then you could also use that option if you prefer.

Made this last night and ate half of it by myself!! It was so good :O used nutritional yeast instead of cheese and it worked! Definitely making this again!!
Stacey
Regina, Thanks for making the recipe and taking the time to comment. Great idea using the nutritional yeast as a sub for cheese 🙂 Never thought of that .

Can we double the recipe?
My kids love pizza so I want to make sure I have enough.
Could I use regular white vinegar instead?
Thanks
Stacey
Minnie, yes you can double it and use white vinegar, but you may need to bake for longer. All ovens vary, so not sure exactly how much longer.
