The subject matter involves a flatbread dish where the base, traditionally made from wheat, is substituted with a lower-carbohydrate alternative, such as a tortilla engineered to contain fewer carbohydrates. This base is then typically topped with ingredients such as cheese, sauce, and various vegetables or meats, and subsequently baked or cooked until the toppings are melted and the base is crisp. A common example includes using a specific brand of low-carbohydrate tortilla topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and Italian herbs.
The appeal of this culinary modification stems from its potential to offer a convenient and palatable option for individuals adhering to carbohydrate-restricted diets. This includes, but is not limited to, those managing conditions such as diabetes or those pursuing weight management strategies. The practice has gained traction in recent years alongside the increased popularity of low-carbohydrate diets, offering a perceived healthier alternative to traditional pizza options. Its ease of preparation and customizable nature contribute to its widespread adoption.
