The Best gluten&Dairy free Pizza
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- Flaxseed meal
- Almond Flour
- Tapioca flour, or arrowroot
- Coconut flour
- Onion powder
- Garlic Powder
- Italian seasoning blend (optional)
- Sea salt
- Water
- Avocado oil or olive oil
- Apple cider vinegar
For the sauce:
- Cashews
- Lemon juice
- Water or almond milk
- Avocado oil or olive oil
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavor)
*In addition to the crust and cheese, you’ll need your favorite pizza sauce and fresh basil. You can also top with onions, peppers, or anything else you want!*
Prepare the crust first. Mix your flax egg and water right away and let it sit for 10 minutes before adding to the dough. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl (the flax egg last). Spread the dough out into a circle on a parchment lined pizza pan or baking sheet. You can use a bit more tapioca flour to help if the dough is sticky.
Bake the crust at 425° F for about 12-15 minutes or until set. Meanwhile, prepare the cheese sauce with a small blender.
Blend all the ingredients until you have a very smooth creamy mixture. Once the crust is done, assemble the pizza. Spread the pizza sauce over the crust, and spoon the cheese mixture on top, using as much as desired.
Top with chopped fresh basil and return to the oven to bake -another 10 minutes or so, until the crust is crisp on the edges and the cheese sauce is beginning to turn golden. Slice with a pizza cutter and serve with any additional toppings you like.
