Cheezza
Pizza without the doughy crust | |
A foodstuff similar to the pizza except that the "crust" is made of deep-fried cheeze, with just enough ground nuts or high-fiber powder to provide a good grasping surface.
Temperature regulation, to ensure that the bottom part of the pizza remained acceptably solid while the top part was pleasantly
goopy, would be a challenge; with the right mix of cheeses, though, I'd think it could be made to work.

I can see it working in a shaped pan, so that the cheese doesn't run anywhere. Your toppings might melt down into the crust but that would be fine (especially if it's a cheese pizza ;-) |

How many cheezzas do you think it would take before you earn your first free double-bypass? |
|

mgangemi -- Depends whether your carbohydrate consumption is low enough to establish ongoing lipolysis to get rid of the injested fat. |

From what I've read, it seems that contrary to what naysayers predicted, the Atkins-style moderate-fat low-carbohydrate diets tend to reduce "bad" cholesterol levels compared with low-fat primarily-carbohydrate diets. |

That pain on your left side is cheese stuck |

//You can always order cheese sticks as a side dish// |
|

Yeah, but cheese sticks don't have tomato, mushroom, sausage, or anything fun like that. The goal of cheezza is to have much of the good taste of pizza without the carbohydrate. |

I think pizza hut just started doing something similar. They just cover the cheese filled crust with MORE cheese. If there's one thing Americans need more of, its dairy products. . . |

Interestingly, some people have fishboned this idea. For the benefit of mankind, it is our solem duty to hunt them down and kill them .... |

Cheese-flvoured, cheese coated croissant (on a bed of melted cheese....) |

8th of 7: Thanks for the + vote. Given the reaction here and on another related idea (Controlled carbohydrate menu for mainstream/chain restaurants), I think people here are skeptical of the Atkins Nutritional Approach(tm). Too bad, since I think the science is really starting to show that diets high in carbohydrates are bad news. |

From my own limitted personal experience, minimal-carb dining seems to produce lipolysis/ketosis (i.e. fat-burning) effects, but I either have to go to restaurants and not get or not eat all the food I'm paying for [and still have to worry about hidden sugars], or else I have to settle for my own inept cooking. |

PS--I'm also disappointed nobody seems to like my attempt at a clever name. |

Hey, look at that cool attempt at a clever name. |

Croissant for making my mouth water. |
