Here's that recipe y'all: www.ethanchlebowski.com/cooking-techniques-recipes/lower-calorie-and-higher-protein-pizza-dough This was video was a ton of fun to make and also being able to collab with Babish was insanely cool, thank you to everyone who continues to watch, we are just getting started! Also thanks again Warby Parker: Try 5 pairs of glasses at home for free at warbyparker.com/ethan.
I'd be interested to see you experiment mixing vital wheat gluten into some of these bases, it's high protein, low carb and brings a chewiness but it might also help you develop a gluten network when mixed with other flours e.g. soy
I love the idea for these videos. Would love to see other recipes which are typically unhealthy made into healthy high protein ones without losing the essence of what they are. Will for sure be making the pizza at some point!
Is there a typo for the NY style? it says 16g of protein, the same amount as the “pinsa”. 4:47 edit: is the Pinsa maybe heavier? Like would it be more grams per slice? Or is it that the 5% pinsa is using rice flour to bring down calories and soy to bring back the missing protein from the lack of wheat flour?
That's assuming your diet was healthy to begin with , I think for most this is a healthier addition to people's diets , the macros are really that good
honestly thought there would be coconut or almond flour variants in this video, I personally can't eat soy flour so these recipes are a no go for me :(
Alright hear me out on this one... So I could only get myself Soy Protein, which is (you guessed it) NOT the same as soy flour... After plenty of math, I managed to get ratios that match your recipe Ethan, but making up the difference in flour with 12% protein flour instead, while ensuring the total amount of % protein remains the same. Feel free to check me on this guys, but what I got is: 83.29% pizza flour (12% protein) 11.42% soy protein (100% protein) 5.29% rice flour This worked out perfectly for me!
Your work is my favorite on RUclips. ^^ seriously man, your work is the best. It's awesome to see you collab with others like Babish! ^^ looks like you had a lot of fun and that's what matters at the end of the day. ^^
Also, Gluten Free cooking can be an absolute nightmare. My mom and my sister both have celiac disease. If you decide to do videos about gluten free in the future, it will be a Lot, of experimentation and blends. :^
I'd love to see more videos like this making healthy/healthier versions of traditionally unhealthy foods. So many healthy recipes are just...not that good. Like they're fine, but could be better.
I love seeing you come into your own and getting the love you deserve. Your content is so meticulously presented, and you are always coming up with novel content ideas. It’s awesome to see the cross-channel collaboration and the Kenji shout-out must feel ecstatic.
Would love to see this done with whole-wheat + vital wheat gluten + soy, see if you could get even healthy and let the vital wheat gluten sure up any missing gluten from the higher soy flour.
from my tests whole wheat is not that great for pizza. When you compare "normal" neapolitan dough (00 wheat flour, 65% hydration) to pinsa, you don't really compromise on flavor and the texture is similar, possibly even better. The only downside it's that it's slightly harder to work with and form. When I tried something like 50% 00 wheat, 35% whole wheat, 10% rice and 5% soy, the dough was significantly worse in terms of both flavor and texture. Still better than califlower pizza ofc, but I'm not sure if I would call it "the real thing anymore". I still have to try the 25% soy pinsa variant Ethan showed in this video to have comparison, but from what I tried it seems that whole wheat is not a great choice for pizza.
Question: I've started making homemade pizza with a greek yogurt crust. It'll sound crazy, but it's two ingredients - greek yogurt and self rising flour at a 1:1 ratio. I don't see much rise to it in sitting, but it puffs like pizza crust when I cook it. How viable would that be compared to your best option here in terms of calories and also taste?
I haven't tried it with pizza dough before, but I love making little Greek yogurt bread rolls. Just plain yogurt and flour. It's so convenient for using up the last of a tub that's still good but gone a bit sour. It's so tangy, it almost tastes like you managed to cheat at making sourdough.
works really well with pretzel dough too. Flexibile dieting lifestyle has a pretzel recipe thats essentially just self rising flour cut with greek yogurt and I've made it and it works and tastes really well.
I once made something similar, but instead of soy flower I added some vital wheat gluten. Turned out great with 35g protein and about 550kcals. The extra gluten just made it a better I think
Man, I'm so happy to see you starting to get the recognition you deserve. From shout outs on Kenji's channel to a collab with Babish, you deserve it all, I am excited for what the future holds for you.
Been following you for a while now and I'm super stoked for this collaboration. Can't wait to see where you go from here, both in your own videos and future team-ups!
Don't really comment on youtube videos but I'd just like to say that as a fairly broke college student who counts macros and works out, your cooking videos have been absolutely game changing. The ability to make food that tastes good with good macros was something I had been looking for since I had started caring about nutrition. Days of brown rice, broccoli, and chicken breast are long gone thanks to you partner.
...Brad Leone, Sohla, Claire, Cowboy Kent, Malcom (BBQ Done Right), Glenn (and Friends) and maybe throw in Uncle Roger to do commentary. I would totally watch that.
Incredible to see how far you’ve come in such a short time. Ive watched you since you first start posting videos and your success is so well deserved. Great job Ethan and keep it up!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Great to see how far you’ve come Ethan. I recently heard Adam Ragusea name drop you in a video, follow by Kenji. Now this! Your heavily researched, detailed approach with a nice practical, down to earth element sets you apart in my eyes. We’re spoiled to have such an array of great cooking presenters on RUclips. Keep it up!
Did you think about using Vital Wheat Gluten Flour instead of Soy Flour? Would be interesting to see the results as it has double the protein and less calories.
@@User9681e Some studies say it increases estrogen levels. Other studies say it does not. I say why take the risk when I have plenty of other food options.
@@chriswhinery925 It's massively overblown and has been debunked for years - despite the myth still being spread. Soy does contain 'phytoestrogen' but it doesn't have the same effect on a human body as you'd get from mammalian estrogen. As a point of interest, there's much more of that substance in cow's milk than there is in soy milk but you never hear of the same concerns for that.
Congrats on the collab! I've been using your tinga and creamy buffalo sauces as condiments on a lot of my food, and it's been really good. Have you considered making a video covering more options for sauces/condiments? Maybe some homemade mustard, or low cal bbq sauce
Hi Ethan, I really enjoy your videos and I've learned lots by watching your channel. I have to contend that omitting carbs and only focusing on calories and protein is misleading for many people who are focusing on getting healthier. For people who have a hard time putting on weight then it makes sense to focus less on carbs, but for others, such as myself, carb count is the most important thing I have to consider when I cook if I'm trying to loose or maintain my weight. I've noticed that in several of your videos carbs are omitted as a consideration so I just wanted to highlight that many people cannot skip it as a consideration.
I love how each cooking channel on RUclips has a specialty. Babish: Extravagant, over the top recipes, mostly done to show off without usually expecting to be replicated in the home kitchen. Adam Ragusea: the complete opposite. Tailors his content to the home cook, teaching about tips and tricks he’s found to making cooking an enjoyable experience for everyone, as well as educating us on topics that the home cook could never have access to learning. You suck at cooking: comedy. He’s good at it. Ethan Cheblowski: health. Every time I watch his videos I learn how to make soothing so much better for myself than the garbage I can tend to stuff myself with.
I can feel the excitement about this collab through the screen! So happy for you and the continued growth of your channel! Can’t wait to try the recipe.
I'm pretty sure my binging the Babish culinary universe is what got the RUclips algorithm to recommend you to me in the first place. Then, like a month later, you do a collaboration! Great videos, hopefully Babish sending people your way helps your subscriber count skyrocket! Your video quality deserves a ton of subscribers.
your healthier versions of some of my favourite foods have helped me have a healthy relationship with my diet and food and enjoy eating as well as cooking so much, i cook a lot of them regularly and I cant wait to try this recipe and any future recipes you will have to share!
You can get up to 80%+ protein if you do seitan 50% + defatted soy flour 50% (cons : its hard to mix soy flour into seitan , but can be done gradually in batches) . I make baked chips with this ratio . But you can increase water content to make pizza crust . note : They are extremely filling ( 10 -12 chips will completely suppress your hunger for 3-4 hours )
Cool to see you with Babish! I'm surprised to not see you try vital wheat gluten - pure gluten and protein. I do it in all my doughs with whole wheat to compensate for the whole wheat and my doughs are SUPER high protein!
I wish I could double sub. You're the example for us all that even today the algorithm can give you a chance and your content can can grow an audience. Thanks Ethan! Would love to see you pass the torch along and ft smaller RUclipsrs to help up the ladder as well!
I started my RUclips cooking journey with Babish and I’ve ended it with you (my favorite channel), so this is only fitting! Congrats on the success, just noticed you’re almost passed 750k!
It's awesome to see you doing big things. Discovered you on r/videos when you had about 2k subs. Your videos were high quality back then, and they've only gotten better! Keep it up!
From a Kenji shout out to a Babish Collab, you've really come into your own. You deserve everything you got bro, you have been grinding for a long time and it's bearing fruit.
Ever thought about trying to create the lowest calorie and/or highest protein bread recipes that still tastes like bread and doesn’t taste like crap? This video is amazing dude.
Helping people eat healthier and still enjoy the food we all love? Our boy Ethan is crushing it! Congratulations on the Babish Collab! You've come a long way and with your work ethic you are going further still.
I missed seeing this on launch day, but now that I see this on both of your channels, it brings me great joy. Two of my fave cooking RUclips peeps in one culinary universe? Fantastic.
I had to give this one a try and it does NOT disappoint! I ended up adding 20g extra bread flour because it was just way too sticky and wasn’t even close to clearing the sides of my stand mixer. Made some excellent pizza and garlic knots 👍🏻
Apologies if you've already addressed/considered using wheat gluten since it seems like an obvious choice for more protein. I use it in my pizza dough mostly for better texture but obviously it also adds protein and doesn't change the taste as far as I can tell. My dough is 415g water, 4g yeast, 585g bread flour, 45g gluten, 18g salt, for 4 large portions of no knead overnight dough and I really like it. I bake it on a pizza steel in an oven. Seems like a good opportunity for the type of testing/experimentation you like to do.
It's crazy to see you and Babish collab! You guys are my biggest inspiration at the moment, y'all made me love my kitchen again!:') Loved the video! Mad love from the UK 🌸
Hey Ethan, can you explain the purpose of the rice flour in this recipe? It seems worse than bread flour in carb content and also protein. Why not just do bread flour with soy?
I'll absolutely have to try this crust, using fat-free cheeses and turkey pepperoni would definitely boost the protein and make reaching macros a breeze.
You’ve come so far 🥲 I remember your banish-mini phase, and now you’re collaborating with the babish himself. Love to see it. Can’t wait for another year of growth.
I make the crust using egg whites, greek yogurt, coconut flour, white flour, stevia, garlic and baking powder for 250-300 calories and 20+ grams of protein. It tastes and feels just like regular pizza base if not better. For the general toppings, I usually use basic tomato or low-cal bolognese sauce and low-fat mozzarella cheese. If I do not put any extra toppings, the whole 10inch pizza has like under 400kcal. I often eat half and one huge bowl of lettuce or veggies as a snack, lol. It is literally so good that I never desire ordering it out anymore.
All I learned from this episode is that there is apparently a meat-based instead of bread-based pizza, and now I must Quest for this most obscure culinary mode. I shall return upon my triumph.
I'm sure you've thought of this but one can also just buy wheat gluten, it's got a ton of protein too. It might be interesting to see where this additional variable gets you if you're interested in doing a ton more research which I doubt lol. Thanks for making this!
this recipe looks amazing! i wish i weren't allergic to soy protein. I've always finagled a pizza crust out of flour and greek yogurt that i don't feel AS bad about. it's kinda similar to naan which does make excellent pizza in a pinch
Came over from the Babish episode specifically for this recipe, starting reining in my diet but pizza was a staple in my diet for most of my younger life, which means I crave it bad. Thanks for doing the hard work here in finding something that I can feel good about eating. Started browsing your other catalog and think I'm hooked.
if i ever start making my own dough...i will try this. But for the current time, i will stick to my low carb wrap/tortilla as a base because its just to convinient (and i bought them in a larger quantitiy) as always great video...almost 3/4 of a mil subs :)
If you want a high protein dough, that's not a meat crust (which are great BTW) I'd recommend a Keto "fathead" dough. It's mostly cheese. 3 cups shredded cheese of choice (usually part-skim mozz.) about 3 Tbsp cream cheese. Warm those together (microwave or double boiler) until combined, then add in 2/3 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour and 3 eggs. Mix well and spread out on parchment lined pan/sheet, bake 400 degrees for about 20 min. Until slightly crispy. Then add topping and bake again for 10-15 minutes. Good stuff!
1 Pizza should try to achieve at least 50g protein, if the Soy is only providing 15g, then the cheese + lean meat should provide the rest. Important to keep fats low too. This is actually a viable tasty high protein meal for people who workout. Well done Ethan
Feels like yesterday you were at 100k and I was saying you were gonna get big if you kept doing what you were doing. Can't believe you're closing in on a million.
Saw Babish and was like damn hang on... *checks sub count* Holy fuck Ethan is up to a 3/4mill! Way to go dude I didn't even realise it had snowballed so fast. 👌
I developed a lower calorie dough that still stretches and taste amazing by using the leftover carrot pulp from juicing and garbonzo flour and of course unbleached all purpose flour :) throw it in a cast iron skillet and its delicious.
You are one of the few "healthy" or "diet" or "anabolic" (et cetera buzz words for lower calories, higher protein food) chefs that is sophisticated enough to crossover into the more mainstream cooking channels (e.g. BWB, Joshua Weisman, ATK, etc.)
Ethan can you please make a video showing how to bake a pizza using regular oven with no pizza stone?? I've tried like around 50 times and i got a decent result but never got to truly perfect it. Maybe you can complete this challenge?
Here's that recipe y'all: www.ethanchlebowski.com/cooking-techniques-recipes/lower-calorie-and-higher-protein-pizza-dough

Alright hear me out on this one...
So I could only get myself Soy Protein, which is (you guessed it) NOT the same as soy flour...

Would love to see this done with whole-wheat + vital wheat gluten + soy, see if you could get even healthy and let the vital wheat gluten sure up any missing gluten from the higher soy flour.

I use it in my pizza dough mostly for better texture but obviously it also adds protein and doesn't change the taste as far as I can tell. My dough is 415g water, 4g yeast, 585g bread flour, 45g gluten, 18g salt, for 4 large portions of no knead overnight dough and I really like it. I bake it on a pizza steel in an oven. Seems like a good opportunity for the type of testing/experimentation you like to do.
I was looking forward to this colab and you guys did an awesome job!
It's crazy to see you and Babish collab! You guys are my biggest inspiration at the moment, y'all made me love my kitchen again!:') Loved the video! Mad love from the UK 🌸
Has anyone else tried to make this? My dough is incredibly sticky and was curious if anyone had a similar issue.
Congrats on the collab! Great to see
Two living cooking legends together. You got my thumbs up...again:)
your editing and information content is always at the top. appreciate your effort dude
Ethan is crushin it! Stoked for you dude. Definitely gonna try this dough out
First collab with BCU! Congrats, E! You've made it! :')
Hey Ethan, can you explain the purpose of the rice flour in this recipe? It seems worse than bread flour in carb content and also protein. Why not just do bread flour with soy?
My boy made it!!! I remember years ago watching babish rise the ranks of RUclips and now here you are. Idk just happy for you and this Collab
I hope this collab puts a lotta eyes on you. You're actually the type of creator an aspiring home cook should watch for advice
I'll absolutely have to try this crust, using fat-free cheeses and turkey pepperoni would definitely boost the protein and make reaching macros a breeze.
You’ve come so far 🥲 I remember your banish-mini phase, and now you’re collaborating with the babish himself. Love to see it. Can’t wait for another year of growth.
What a come up! Making moves with Babish! Happy for you Ethan!
I make the crust using egg whites, greek yogurt, coconut flour, white flour, stevia, garlic and baking powder for 250-300 calories and 20+ grams of protein. It tastes and feels just like regular pizza base if not better. For the general toppings, I usually use basic tomato or low-cal bolognese sauce and low-fat mozzarella cheese. If I do not put any extra toppings, the whole 10inch pizza has like under 400kcal. I often eat half and one huge bowl of lettuce or veggies as a snack, lol. It is literally so good that I never desire ordering it out anymore.
The crossover we didn’t know we needed. But the one we deserved
Yo! Let's go my man! The collab we wanted! Congrats you seriously deserve it.
All I learned from this episode is that there is apparently a meat-based instead of bread-based pizza, and now I must Quest for this most obscure culinary mode.
I shall return upon my triumph.
I feel like you missed an oportunity by omitting the use of vital wheat gluten flour! High in protein and can fit in your metrics
and won't taste of soy!
It also helps with the gluten development and makes the kneading process much easier even though it’s a super wheat dough!
Wat a wholesome crossover for a successful healthy recipe. Thanks for experimenting and finding things like this for us!
I'm sure you've thought of this but one can also just buy wheat gluten, it's got a ton of protein too. It might be interesting to see where this additional variable gets you if you're interested in doing a ton more research which I doubt lol. Thanks for making this!
this recipe looks amazing! i wish i weren't allergic to soy protein. I've always finagled a pizza crust out of flour and greek yogurt that i don't feel AS bad about. it's kinda similar to naan which does make excellent pizza in a pinch
Consider pea protein.
Amazing!! Can’t wait to make this. Thanks Ethan!!!
Came over from the Babish episode specifically for this recipe, starting reining in my diet but pizza was a staple in my diet for most of my younger life, which means I crave it bad. Thanks for doing the hard work here in finding something that I can feel good about eating. Started browsing your other catalog and think I'm hooked.
This collaboration makes me so happy
i really do love babish
he became a legend
and yet stays humble
this is such a cool format! I found you recently from Kenji's shout out and love the content. Can feel Kenji's sciency influence in your cooking :)
if i ever start making my own dough...i will try this.
But for the current time, i will stick to my low carb wrap/tortilla as a base because its just to convinient (and i bought them in a larger quantitiy)
as always great video...almost 3/4 of a mil subs :)
This is an idea that was floating in my mind some time, thanks for making it real, it's good to know I was on to something.
One of the best food channels, keep up the good work! I've been following you since early days, buddy. Cheers!
I was about to say "theres no way this was a coincidence" and then I saw the title and popped off. Big congrats
Wdym *you* popped off?
If you want a high protein dough, that's not a meat crust (which are great BTW) I'd recommend a Keto "fathead" dough. It's mostly cheese. 3 cups shredded cheese of choice (usually part-skim mozz.) about 3 Tbsp cream cheese. Warm those together (microwave or double boiler) until combined, then add in 2/3 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour and 3 eggs. Mix well and spread out on parchment lined pan/sheet, bake 400 degrees for about 20 min. Until slightly crispy. Then add topping and bake again for 10-15 minutes. Good stuff!
The recipe link is missing. Can we get that? This is awesome and I want to make it.
Working on it asap!
1 Pizza should try to achieve at least 50g protein, if the Soy is only providing 15g, then the cheese + lean meat should provide the rest. Important to keep fats low too. This is actually a viable tasty high protein meal for people who workout. Well done Ethan
I’ve been waiting for this. Definitely going to try it out.
Vital wheat gluten might be another option worth experimenting with. Better than soy flour.
Feels like yesterday you were at 100k and I was saying you were gonna get big if you kept doing what you were doing. Can't believe you're closing in on a million.
Saw Babish and was like damn hang on... *checks sub count* Holy fuck Ethan is up to a 3/4mill! Way to go dude I didn't even realise it had snowballed so fast. 👌
Instantly liked your channel my man, good content good vibes, good presenting!
SO EXCITED TO TRY THIS
Again, hyped for you dude!
I developed a lower calorie dough that still stretches and taste amazing by using the leftover carrot pulp from juicing and garbonzo flour and of course unbleached all purpose flour :) throw it in a cast iron skillet and its delicious.
You are one of the few "healthy" or "diet" or "anabolic" (et cetera buzz words for lower calories, higher protein food) chefs that is sophisticated enough to crossover into the more mainstream cooking channels (e.g. BWB, Joshua Weisman, ATK, etc.)
Ethan can you please make a video showing how to bake a pizza using regular oven with no pizza stone?? I've tried like around 50 times and i got a decent result but never got to truly perfect it. Maybe you can complete this challenge?
