Paleo Pizza

I got a request to find a good Paleo Pizza recipe and it took a few tries, but I finally got it down!  This would be fun to get the kids involved too and have them add their own toppings!


Crust

  • Preheat Oven to 350.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the following:
    • 2 1/4 cups almond flour
    • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
    • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (optional) 
    • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • In a separate mixing bowl (or measuring cup), add: 
    • 3 large eggs 
    • 2 tablespoons olive oill
  • Beat together until frothy and fully combined.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until dough forms.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and transfer it to a parchment paper-lined work surface. Top with another piece of parchment paper and roll the dough 1/4″ thick. Remove the top piece of parchment paper and slide the crust onto a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges have started to crisp and the crust has started to brown.

**I personally like the crust thinner and crispier so I split the dough in half and made 2 smaller pizzas with thin crust.

Prep your sauce and toppings while your crust is cooking.  Once the crust is done, add your toppings!

Sauce 
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • Italian Seasoning (I eyeballed it and probably did 1-2 Tbsp.  

Toppings
Choose whatever you like!  Stick to the almond cheese to keep it Paleo.  Some toppings I like are
  • Almond Cheese
  • Sausage
  • Onions
  • Fresh Basil
  • Peppers
  • Mushrooms
  • Pineapple
  • Bacon
  • Ground Beef
After pizza is assembled, pop back into the oven for 12-15 minutes.  

Enjoy!
