Paleo Pizza!

Here is a recipe for pizza that we really love to make on the weekends!  It requires a bit of time- mostly chopping veggies and preparing the crust.  But, it is worth the effort!  

Paleo Pizza

Crust:

1 Cup Almond Flour (make your own in a food processor by grinding plain almonds to a coarse 'flour' like texture - store-bought is super-expensive!)
1 egg
~1 TBSP Olive Oil
optional dash salt

(double this recipe if you are feeding more than two people or if you want to eat a lot or have leftovers!)

Toppings:
~1/2 can tomato paste (plain - no additives!)
Sprinkle of oregano or basil
Cooked bacon, pork, chicken - chopped; use any meat that you like...we put lots of meat on ours!
Veggies galore - chopped
Some we use are:  spinach, mushrooms, peppers, olives, artichoke hearts, asparagus, broccoli, onion, roasted garlic, fresh tomato, jalapenos, etc

We have been enjoying this dairy-free lately but cheese could certainly be optional...

Mix crust ingredients in a bowl until you have a 'doughy' consistency and roll out onto an oiled cookie sheet to about 3/16" thickness (use parchment paper to avoid sticking to the roller).  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.  Remove from the oven.  

Spread a layer of tomato paste onto the crust, sprinkle with oregano and start adding toppings.  The pizza looks like a mountain by the time all of the toppings have been added.  Bake in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes.  Enjoy!

Pure goodness...make some this weekend!
