Paleo Pizza Recipe:
I am a pizza LOVER! It's one of major weaknesses....right up there with french fries! Yum! Luckily this recipe is a way for me to enjoy pizza GUILT FREE!
Ingredients:
- ½ cup coconut flour;
- 1 cup almond meal;
- 1 tsp baking powder;
- 2 tsp garlic powder;
- 4 eggs;
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil;
- ½ cup coconut milk;
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 F.
- Always begin your pizza making by preparing the crust. This is necessary for this recipe, as the crust requires some cooking time without the toppings.
- In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond meal, baking powder and garlic powder.
- Using a whisk to eliminate any clumping, start mixing in the wet ingredients. I usually continue to whisk as I do this, because it helps prevent the dry ingredients from clumping. You will reach a point when your whisk becomes useless and your hands are necessary, generally when the mixture starts forming a batter.
- The batter will seem quite soft and much different in texture than the usual pizza dough, but once cooked it will take the right form.
- On a well greased and rimmed pizza pan, pour in the batter and spread it until it’s covering the complete surface. It’s important to use a rimmed pan so the batter doesn’t spill off.
- Throw just the crust in the oven and allow it to bake alone for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare all of your toppings so that you just have to put them on once the crust has baked.
- Spread the sauce on the surface of the crust, as much or as little as you like. Sprinkle on the toppings of your choice.
- With the oven still at 375 F, bake the whole pizza for another 10 or so minutes, just to allow the toppings to cook.
