This crust was dare I say almost perfect. It even formed a big bubble in the center as if it were from a pizza shop! There is no yeast, oil, sugar or refined flours here only really healthy ingredients so you can enjoy more than one slice and still feel great! :)
To make this delicious pizza pie you will need:
- 2 cups flax meal
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 3/4 cup carrot pulp (from carrot juice)
- 3 cloves garlic - minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Dash: Red pepper flakes, oregano, rosemary, basil, sage and pepper.
- Opt: I used a sprinkle of Trader Joe's Dukkah Blend which is a mixture of almonds, sesame seeds, fennel seeds, coriander, anise seeds and salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Coat a pan with olive oil (or line with parchment paper)
- Combine the flax meal and warm water in a large bowl, mix well. Add the balance of the ingredients and stir to combine.
- Roll up your sleeves and begin working the dough, kneading for 1-2 minutes until completely worked together. I find getting my hands wet first and along the way helps.
- Roll the dough into a ball, place it in the center of your pan and begin to form your pizza. I like to leave a high edge for a thick crust!
- Bake for 30 minutes until it is almost completely done. While it is baking prepare your sauce and toppings.
- Pull it out of the oven, top with sauce and your favorite toppings and bake for another 10-15+ minutes until done. Serve hot and enjoy!!!
