Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until fine. Steam in a steamer basket and drain well. (I like to put it on a towel to get all the moisture out.) Let cool.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower with the mozzarella, Parmesan, Oregano, Mineral Salt, Garlic Powder, and Eggs. Transfer to the center of the baking sheet and spread into a circle, resembling a pizza crust.
Bake for 20 minutes. Add desired toppings and bake an additional 10 minutes.
5. Gluten and Dairy-Free:
Ingredients:
1/3 Cup of Warm Water, 3 Tbsp of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, 1 Tbsp of Honey, 2 1/4 Tsp of Active Dry Yeast, 1 Egg, 1/2 Tsp of Mineral Salt, 1 3/4 Cups of Tapioca Flour, 1 Cup of Almond Flour, Pizza Toppings as Desired
Directions:
- In a large bowl, place the warm water, Olive Oil, and Honey and whisk to combine well. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until foamy. Whisk in the egg. Add the salt and 1½ cups (180 g) of the tapioca flour and whisk until a smooth, sticky batter forms. Switch to a spatula or wooden spoon and stir in the Almond Flour, and then stir in the remaining tapioca flour.
- Dust your hands with a little tapioca flour and press the dough into a ball, kneading it a bit to get any floury bits mixed in. Return the ball of dough to the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and set it in a warm place for 45 minutes. Then place the bowl of dough in the oven, which is just a little above room temperature). Place a pizza stone or large overturned rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 375°F.
- Place a large sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface, and, with lightly tapioca floured hands, transfer the ball of dough to the parchment. Pat the dough out into a circle about 12 inches in diameter, pushing out toward the edges. Brush the top of the dough with a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of Mineral Salt.
- Carefully transfer the parchment with the dough onto the pizza stone or sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Remove the dough from the oven and add your desired toppings. Return to the oven and for about 5 minutes more and serve fresh!
6. Perfect Paleo Pizza:
Ingredients:
Paleo Pizza Crust:
2 Tsp of Active Dry Yeast, 1 Tbsp of Honey, 1 1/4 Cups of Warm Water, 1 1/3 Cups of Cassava Flour, 2/3 Cup of Almond Flour, 1 Cup of Arrowroot Flour, 1 1/2 Tsp of Mineral Salt, 3 Eggs, 3 Tsp of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil.
Dairy Free Fresh Mozzarella:
1/2 Cup of Raw Cashews, 1 1/2 Tsp of Nutritional Yeast, 1 Tsp of Lemon Juice, 1 Tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 Tsp of Olive Oil, 1 Tsp of Salt, 4 Tbsp of Tapioca Starch, 1 Cup of Water
Paleo Pizza:
Extra Cassava Flour, 2/3 Cup of Tomato Sauce, 1 Tsp of Dried Oregano, Fresh Basil Leaves, Fresh Black Pepper, Additional Toppings as needed.
Equipment:
Food Processor, Pizza Cutter, 2 Baking Sheets.
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and honey in warm water. Let stand until super foamy and doubled in size.
- Make your dairy-free fresh mozzarella. Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and process until completely smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, whisking constantly. When it's thickened, whisk another minute, then transfer to a jar and chill while you continue with the recipe.
- Once your yeast has fully bloomed, make the pizza dough. With the dough blade fitted on your food processor, combine Almond Flour, cassava flour, Arrowroot, Salt, and Olive Oil in the food processor bowl and process until smooth.
- Once the dough has risen for 60-90 minutes and has increased in size, preheat oven to 500º F and insert a baking sheet upside down on the lowest rack. Divide dough into equal halves. Scrape one half onto a sheet of parchment paper and cover with cassava flour. Pat out into an even circle about 1/2" thick.
- Spread half of the tomato sauce on the pizza dough, leaving a thin crust. Add Paleo fresh mozzarella to your liking and grind fresh Black Pepper over the mozzarella. Also, sprinkle with dried oregano. Slide the parchment paper (with the pizza) onto an upside-down baking sheet then carefully slide the parchment paper (with the pizza) onto the preheated upside-down baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes or until crust begins to brown. Remove from the oven by carefully pulling parchment with the pizza onto a cool baking sheet using tongs. Sprinkle with fresh Basil Leaves randomly over the pizza. Cut into wedges and serve while hot and crispy.
