Description

Experience the joy of pizza without compromising your dietary goals with this straightforward recipe. This pizza alternative delivers a satisfyingly familiar taste and texture, reminiscent of traditional pizza, achieved through a thoughtful combination of ingredients. The crust, a key element of any pizza, is crafted using a blend of dough, psyllium husk, and a touch of yeast.

The small addition of sugar is important, as it activates the yeast, encouraging a rise that results in a pleasantly soft and airy base – essential for an enjoyable pizza experience. This recipe has been carefully developed to overcome typical hurdles in making pizza, such as attaining the ideal crust consistency and ensuring adequate rising. By using water at a moderate temperature for the yeast and partially baking the crust before adding your favorite toppings, you'll steer clear of common issues and consistently create a delightful and fulfilling pizza alternative.

The initial bake allows the crust to firm up, providing a sturdy foundation for your toppings and preventing a soggy final result. Feel free to experiment with a variety of toppings to suit your taste preferences. Whether you prefer classic combinations like tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil, or more adventurous options such as roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or even a drizzle of pesto, the possibilities are endless.

This pizza offers a versatile canvas for your culinary creativity. The end result is a pizza with a crust that has a gentle chewiness and a subtle, savory flavor that complements the toppings beautifully. It's a satisfying and wholesome meal option that can be enjoyed any night of the week, offering a comforting and familiar experience while adhering to specific dietary needs.

Share it with friends and family, or savor it on your own as a well-deserved treat.

Instructions

    1.
    In a bowl, combine the yeast and sugar. Pour in lukewarm water, whisking to combine. Place the bowl in a warm spot for 10 minutes, or until foam or bubbles appear on top, indicating the yeast is activated.
    2.
    In a food processor, add the almond flour, psyllium husk, and baking powder. Pulse for 10 seconds to combine, then add the egg and bloomed yeast mixture.
    3.
    In a separate bowl, add 1/2 cup of grated mozzarella cheese. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until melted. Stir until smooth.
    4.
    Add the melted cheese to the food processor along with the other dough ingredients. Process until a uniform dough forms, scraping the sides as needed. Process again until well combined.
    5.
    Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it proof in a warm place for 1 hour.
    6.
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil your palms and transfer the dough ball onto a piece of oiled parchment paper. Press and flatten the dough until it reaches 20-30 cm in diameter, depending on your desired crust thickness.
    7.
    Transfer the parchment paper with the dough to a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the crust is slightly golden. Remove from the oven and spread the pizza sauce.
    8.
    Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and sprinkle dried oregano on top.
    9.
    Cut the pizza into 8 even slices and serve immediately.
