It's a no grainer Pizza Base

I love Pizza, it's one of the best vehicles for delicious toppings :D What I don't love, is the refined flours, sugars and additives that go into many of the pre made bases! So after multiple experiments, I can confidently say I've finally created THE base.

Paleo, grain free, gluten free, sugar free, low carb and utterly delicious, It's a Winner!

It's perfect for a crispy thin base, to strongly support your most favourite toppings without caving, going soggy or gluey. Say goodbye to the stodgy, oily, heavy feeling usually associated with Pizza, and say Hello to a light, happy feeling in your tummy!

Best of all it's packed with essential fatty acids, b vitamins, zinc, and protein from the combination of hemp, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.


Enough said, here's the recipe for an epic paleo pizza!


Dry Ingredients:

.5 cup pumpkin seeds

.5 cup sunflower seeds

.5 cup hemp seed

.5 cup coconut flour

1 cup tapioca flour

2 tbsp psyllium husk

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Himalayan sea salt

1/4 cup dried rosemary leaves

Wet Ingredients:

2 eggs

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup water + extra


Method:

  1. Pre heat the oven to 200°C

  2. Add the dry ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend on high until the mix has turned to a flour consistency.

  3. Add the dry flour mix to a large bowl, then make a well in the centre.

  4. In the centre, crack 2 eggs, then pour in the olive oil. Mix to combine with your hands.

  5. Slowly pour in the water, continuing to mix until the mixture is a firm dough consistency.

  6. If you need extra water, add it in bit by bit until the desired texture is reached.

  7. Quarter the mix, and with each quarter roll it out in between two pieces of baking paper. You can add a little water to the top of the dough to prevent sticking.

  8. Once the pizza dough is rolled out, place it in the oven and cook for 25 minutes, or until it's firm but not hard to touch.

  9. Remove from the oven and top with your favourite pizza toppings!


Topping Combo's I love!

1. The Veggo: (This one always reminds me of my friend Maddy), pizza sauce, cheese, rocket and spinach, roast pumpkin, capsicum, cooked mushroom and red onion, olives, feta, more mozzarella cheese.

2. Meat Lovers: pizza sauce, cheese, salami, chorizo, olives, capsicum, pickles (yes pickles!), cooked red onion, feta, more mozzarella cheese.

3. The chicken: pizza sauce, cheese, spinach, shredded chicken, roast pumpkin, olives, feta, pesto sauce, cherry tomatoes, more mozzarella cheese.
