I just really appreciate the fact that you actually eat the food. So many people get half a teaspoon and say it’s amazing. But you really get in there and taste, which is great!

Ethan got a sponsor. He'll be up there with the foodtuber legends soon enough. Keep it up, man!

The chicken thigh sausage turned out amazing! I never thought of making my own with the food processor. Tastes great and a lot less calories. I used 585g chicken thighs (I wanted to have extra), 1.5% salt, I didn't have rosemary so I used: 1g of oregano, 1g of thyme, 2g red pepper flakes, 2g of fennel and it was perfect. The high hydration dough is more difficult to work into a pizza shape and I didn't get to 10-12" more like 8-10". Letting it rest that hour before shaping important. I had better luck shaping it mostly on the counter not too much picking it up or it would get way too thin. I cooked mine in a 470 deg oven for ~10 mins on a normal oven round pizza pan and it turned out great.

Try using a lower hydration dough to practice. Maybe 60-65%? Then increase it by 5 if you feel comfortable and so on.

Your videos are probably my favorite food videos on KZread. I genuinely love the food science adjusted for home cooks style you have, it's honestly really encouraging as a beginner

Please make more videos in this low cal series! Its great!

If you want a garlic crust without adding the fat of butter, I think that you may rub a garlic clove around the crust and the oils of the garlic should flavor it.

Love your videos Ethan 💜 For personal pizzas, I use a soft burrito shell so it's less crust and fewer calories. Less crust means more toppings and more flavor with being able to enjoy the sauce, cheese and toppings. I bake it for about 8 minutes at 450. Delish!

Actually high hydration dough is something you really want for home cooking anyway. Lower temperature of normal home oven mean you have to cook the pizza longer, this dries out the dough. Ofc low moisture is easier to handle, but if you want the best taste and texture I would go for high moisture.

You killed that sponsor read dude. Gonna try and make a cookbook myself. You’re on a rocket ship!!

I just realized how genius this video series, because I've been doing the same thing. I find online recipes, mostly from KZread, but for my health I cut out the fats and unhealthy foods and make healthier substitutions, to varying levels of success. This series is all about finding the balance between health and taste, this is perfect 👌, thank you Ethan. A note Ethan: have you tried using whole wheat flour in the dough as a replacement to enriched flour? I mean if we're really after healthier substitutions, standard pizza dough with enriched flour is basically like white bread -- it's high glycemic, it probably spikes your blood sugar, so its going to be one of the main constituents (alongside calories) that will contribute to getting fat, which is the whole point of lower calorie in the first place. So the end result would be a whole wheat pizza dough, like whole wheat bread, which is healthier than white bread. Just some food for thought.

I’ve always made the lower calorie version of pizza dough for my family. We all love it and it’s actually better especially when cooking in a high temp pizza oven. The pizza I’ve always made was a mix between Neapolitan style and New York style. Neapolitan dough and cooking temp, but New York style toppings. Delicious!!

Please continue making this low cal vs restaurant. Subscribed because of this Thank you!

What I want to know is what do you do with the rest of the dough? Are you making all 4 pizzas in one go?

Considering that these are meant to be personal pizza based on the title, I’d assume the dough is for a family of four.

I have doughphobia but decided to give this one a try. Great pizza, definitely adding it to my rotation of dieting meals. I have a decently high TDEE so I added some garlic butter to the crust (1tbsp butter), ~100 extra calories but so worth it.

i love this series so much!!!!!! I sent it to my sisters. Pls keep making them!

Slowly but surely becoming one of my go to KZread chefs!

This is the best low cal pizza recipe I've come across. Definitely going to give it a try.

That's great for a traditional style American pizza. I normally use a recipe from a flexible dieting channel when I have a craving for pizza or a fast lunch/dinner. Take Joseph's Pita and brush it with an egg white wash. Sprinkle on some powdered garlic. Toss in a 450 F oven for 5-6 minutes. Bring out and add sauce, toppings, etc. Place back in oven at 450 until cheese it melted and desired crispy/look is there. And can't really afford a pizza oven so it works. Plus with their flax/oat/etc pita it's super low carb. Gets nice and crispy.

Another stellar video, E! I'd love to see you try your hand at sourdough and the science behind it in the near future!

Tip for the garlic/oregano flavor I mix garlic and oregano with a tiny bit of olive oil and add it to my dough and it brings a similar flavor without the calories and extra greasy feeling.

I love low cal series!! Keep it up master!! 👍🏻

I used to make a personal pizza using store bought garlic naan as the bread. Was pretty good.

My boyfriend and I are going to make your baguette recipe this weekend for our anniversary :D

We are long time weight watchers, this kind of cooking is very helpful.

Attempt 1: i totally suck at pullign the dough, it ended up turning into a 8x4 pizza lol...

Much easier to fit into my macros. Now I can have pizza everyday. Thanks

Loved your story with the milk its so funny! Thank you for the informative guide. I would like to add, the oil and sugar in the restaurant pizza dough will actually "burn" the pizza faster in a true pizza over ( 400C +) thats why the restaurant style didn't get that much great crust on the bottom. anyways save your calories go 4 ingredient try Neapolitan! Thank you Ethan!

I prefer high hydration pizza. This looks delish!

The crust looks amazing on both pizzas!

I'm glad ur channel is blowing up man. I've only been subscribed for a month and I totally understand the current hype around you channel

Really good tips! Never thought about how much of an impact having a higher hydration dough would have on calorie levels.

So happy to see this channel growing better day by day, Good luck Ethan 🤞.

If you’re chasing ultra low carb/cal oven pizza, sub out the dough for a wrap of your choice. I make wrap pizzas with a similar recipe to ethans, with 4oz grilled chicken breast instead of thigh sausage. They yield 550cal, 35g carbs, 21g fat, 55g protein. The crust/dough is obviously not the same, but with a good wrap I don’t miss the dough. I use the tofouyan spinach wraps - 1 “crust” = 150cal, 5g protein. They generally don’t crisp well in my 500* oven; So I throw them in a dry non stick on medium heat for about two minutes to give them a head start before placing in the oven.

Link to the outdoor oven please? 90 seconds?! That is really quick...

THIS is the content I've been waiting for.

to avoid the dough sticking to the peel, once you roll out your dough, lay it on a piece of parchment and trim it to fit the crust with some kitchen scissors, when you slide it in the pizza oven it comes off easily and after about 90 seconds when you rotate the pie, you can slide the paper out, since the bottom of the crust is set

Hey it's that background music that Andong loves so much!

For taste tests reckon I would have tried the low cal one first to see if before tasting the other one, you would have thought it was just like normal restaurant style. That is the best test as to whether you would miss the OG. Sometimes once you've had the contrast already it makes you realise it doesn't stack up. I find the same with beers - i always start my night drinking low cal light beer and save the nice tasty one for the next beer i have because it makes it taste even better, and having the light one before tastes good without the contrast. If that makes sense!

I’m so glad I discovered your channel. Just some awesome content that really makes you think. Cheat day became a little less cheatey!!

With few changes here and there you can cut the kcal to ~500 per full pizza while still having tons of proteins and healthy carbs. Im not saying that anyone should do that but 500kcal range is perfect as almost everyday meal even if you are on the diet :) Low fat mozzarella, little less dough (140g instead of 160g but you would have to leave it to rest a little before putting it into the oven), pulled chicken breasts (boiled style with spices) instead of home-made chicken sausage etc.

Legit gonna make this right now. Great idea!

Congrats on the sponsor! Glad to see you growing so fast

Love the idea of chicken sausage! A couple other calorie saving tips: - use half low moisture mozzarella and half fat free mozzarella. This will cut a good chunk of calories while also maintaining the nice cheesy taste and texture of mozzarella. - use a nice spray of olive oil spray at the end instead of butter. It will give it a little extra flavor and color without the calories

on thing i noticed at 10:34 is that the bottom crust has barely any leopard spots. In my opinion a browner crust leads to a more flavorful pizza

King Arthur bakers told me you can replace 1/4 of bread recipes with almond flour to cut the carbs. I assume this would work for pizza dough's as well. Planning to give this a shot and see what happens.

Both pizzas look amazing

Loving these low cal videos. Couple of questions: The dough recipes is split into four. How can I store the extra dough if I'm only making one pizza this week? Freezer? or do I just need to cut the recipe in half? Second, If I'd prefer more of a detroit/pan style pizza, can i just build the pizza in a pan/cast iron skillet like you do in your weeknight pizza vid? Last, on the low cal crust, you could maybe split the difference and use a "light" butter/margarine. They're usually like 1/3 the calories of actual butter... so 15ish instead of 50 calories for the crust.

Holy crap! I AWAYS drink milk with pizza. Because the same thing. We weren’t allowed to have soda lol. Now I love it. Haha

Awesome video. My two best ways: less cheese or less/thinner dough. A thin pizza requires less dough. Or you could use a large amount of dough, but stretched out very large and thin, to reduce calories in each slice.
