Almond/Flaxseed Pizza Crust: 1 ½ cups Almond Meal, ½ cup Flaxseed Meal, 2 Free-range Eggs, 3 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive oil (EVOO), ¼ tsp Baking Soda, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 ½ Tbs Fresh Rosemary, chopped (you can replace with any of your favorite herbs). Preheat your oven to 350°. Using a fork, mix all crust ingredients together until it becomes very thick. Using your hands, form the dough into a ball. Lightly grease a pizza pan or a sheet pan with olive oil. Place the ball of dough in the center of your pizza pan and push and pat the dough down into the shape of the pan. You want to make the dough as thin as possible. Bake just the crust in your pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. While your crust is cooking, you can prepare the toppings. Remove crust from oven and evenly spread the tomato sauce (recipe below) over the crust. Add toppings (ingredients below) evenly over the pizza and bake again for an additional 25 minutes. Tip: Lightly olive oil your hands to keep dough from sticking FRESH Tomato Sauce: 2-3 Tbs EVOO or Bacon Fat Drippings, 5-6 Roma tomatoes (I pick the larger ones so that I will have enough; leftovers is better than not enough), small dice with juice & seeds, 1 small can Organic tomato paste, 1 ½ tsp each of Fresh Oregano, thyme, basil (or ground), ½ tsp Garlic Powder, ½ tsp Onion Powder Heat a skillet with EVOO or Bacon Fat on Medium-High heat. Place diced tomatoes in the skillet and cook until simmering, reduce heat to medium-low, add Herbs and cover (lid or tin foil). Let tomatoes break down for 15 minutes, stir occasionally. Using a Food processor (15-30 seconds) or mortar and pestle, puree the tomatoes (I prefer to leave a little tomato chunk). Add tomatoes back to skillet on medium-high heat. Add tomato paste, and stir until incorporated. Toppings: 1 cup Raw Spinach( stems included), 1 cup Raw Squash (zucchini or yellow), sliced and quartered, ½ cup Raw Onions, sliced and quartered, ¼ head Raw Broccoli florets, smaller pieces (or 1 cup frozen), 2 tsp Minced Garlic, 1 breast Chicken Cooked and diced, (or 2 chicken thighs for dark meat). Cook Chicken ahead of making Pizza crust and prepare all vegetable ingredients. Sprinkle toppings over tomato sauce and crust and cook in the oven for an additional 25 minutes. Cut and eat. Yum! WORTH EVERY MINUTE IN THE KITCHEN. SUPER HEALTHY!
