I miss pizza above all other things on the SCD. I have dabbled and attempted to make pizza substitutes using ground chicken, nut flours, or riced broccoli (I cannot have cauliflower). This pizza crust recipe is hands-down the best I’ve yet to come across. I can honestly say that I would eat this over regular pizza any day, regardless of food restrictions, simply for the healthier option. It’s delicious and easy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
2 cup Friendship Dairies farmer’s cheese (16oz package)
4 tbsp dripped/strained yogurt (whole milk)
2 large eggs, whisked/beaten
1.5 cup cashew flour (~144g)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp coconut flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If cold, combine the yogurt and cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook for 1 minute and mix well.
Whisk eggs until well beaten.
Add cheese and yogurt mixture to the eggs and whisk until well blended.
Using a spatula, mix the flours and seasoning in until well blended.
Place “dough” onto the parchment-lined sheet. Use hands to shape your pizza crust and flatten evenly to about a 1/2 inch thickness. If thinner/thicker, the time may need to be adjusted.
Bake for 8 minutes in the oven. Remove and punch holes into the dough using a fork. Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Remove and add your pre-cooked sauce and toppings. If you are using cheese and want to melt/brown it a bit, you may broil the pizza on low for about 5-10 minutes or until desired results.
If you do not wish to add toppings, you can keep the crust(s) plain, cool them down, and pop them into the fridge for later use.
Notes
If you’re anything like me, you’ll love this pizza cold for breakfast. Or, lunch. Or, dinner. This is really filling, and though cutting the pizza into halves appears like personal pizza servings, you may find that this is better suited for 4 servings. When I made the recipe for the first time, I simply baked my crust without toppings and added later because I wasn’t sure how this would turn out. I actually prefer this for crispier results. Feel free to edit the spices as desired. I love the smell of baked rosemary. You can successfully sub 2tbsp more of the farmer’s cheese + 2tbsp coconut cream if you do not have any yogurt on hand.
[…] This sauce is a bit different with the hint of clove, the sweetness of the honey, and the flavor of the tiny tomatoes. It pairs really well with my recipe for Pizza Crust. […]
