Hi all,
The couple pizza recipes on here didn't totally work for me, so I played around until I had a good recipe. It turned out great so I wanted to share. The biggest find was Bionaturae brand tomato paste, only ingredient is organic tomato paste and it's in a jar! You can find at Whole Foods - works perfectly as pizza sauce.
(If you're on List 2, you could do everything but the tomatoes and spread more olive oil atop crust instead.)
Happy eating!
Homemade Pizza - yeast-free, sugar-free
Ingredients:
Crust:
2 ¼ - 2 ½ cups spelt flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter
½ - ¾ cup warm water (start with half cup, then slowly add more as needed)
Top:
10 oz (1 ½ jars of Bionaturae) tomato paste
10 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
Allowed veggies, if desired (i.e. onions [red onions esp. good], bell peppers, spinach, etc.)
Allowed meats, if desired (brown on stovetop first) (i.e. ground turkey/beef)
Spices & herbs to taste: oregano, basil, salt, pepper, garlic - fresh or dried
(if using fresh basil put it on when 5 min left to cook)
1 tbsp. olive oil
Directions:
- Mix dry ingredients.
- Add butter and ½ cup water.
- Knead by hand, adding more water only if needed and slowly until consistency is not soggy/sticky but not dry/crumbly.
- Put in sealer container and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Heat oven to 425.
- With rolling pin, roll out dough on floured/sprayed wax paper surface. Roll dough to the size of your pizza tin.
- Spray pizza tin with no-stick spray.
- Flip wax paper over and peel dough off and onto pizza tin.
- Evenly spread olive oil atop crust (to keep tomato paste from soaking in).
- Cook crust in oven for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Remove crust from oven. First, spread tomato paste on top. Then, all spices & herbs. Then, mozzarella cheese. Then, veggies and meat.
- Cook pizza for 20 minutes or so, to desired crust crispness and pizza done-ness.
Thanks
Lisa, Thank you for sharing your pizza recipe. I can't wait until I am on list to 2:-) My husband is also a great cook and I am looking forward to adding recipes as he creates them.
