Pizza Recipe

As I mentioned in my last post, i'd be posting the recipe for the primal pizza I made recently. This might be more expensive than buying a cardboard pizza (frozen) from your local grocery store, but it's a heck of a lot healthier and packed with protein! Also, interesting how i've grown up to refer to frozen pizza from the grocery store as 'cardboard pizza', that is saying something I think. Both from a taste and nutritional standpoint it just doesn't stack up.

So, good luck and enjoy if you attempt this. I'm excited to try other new primal recipes that I find online and i'll be sure to pass them along too.

Primal Pizza (not an original recipe, check out http://www.sonofgrok.com/2008/12/recipe-sog-primal-pizza/)

Ingredients:

Crust:
2 Cups Almond Meal/Flour
2 Eggs
2 Tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tsp salt

Sauce:
1 Can Tomato Paste
1-2 Cups Water (To desired thickness)
1 Tsp Dried Oregano
1 Tsp Garlic

Toppings:
Whatever you want, we used mozzarella and garlic, but feel free to add veggies and other meats as well.

Instructions:

Crust:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. This should give you a ball of “dough”. If your dough is too “mushy”, continue to add almond flour until you get a good consistency.
3. Make a pizza sheet or baking tray non-stick. This is VERY important if you want your pizza slices to come off in one piece.
4. Press your dough on the sheet nice and even about 1/4 inch in the middle and 1/2 inch at the edges.
5. Put crust in the oven for 15 minutes. It should look slightly golden brown when you take it out.

Sauce:
1. In a saucepan, combine all ingredients. Use water to desired thickness. Feel free to add more spice if you want it, too.
2. Simmer on stove for approximately 15 minutes.

Toppings:
You will want to pre-cook any meat going on your pizza. Veggies can go on fresh and raw, or cooked depending on your preference. Your favorite cheese will do.

Put it all together:
1. After crust comes out of the oven, spread sauce evenly over crust.
2. Add your cheese and toppings evenly on top of sauce.
3. Put back in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15 more minutes. Cheese should be evenly melted.
4. Slice and enjoy!
