Pizza Crust

1. Preheat Oven

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and coat with olive oil.

2. Combine Pizza Crust Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the dry pizza crust ingredients (almond flour, baking powder). Whisk together. 

   Fold in the cheese. ;)

   Add in the egg and the olive oil and combine. The dough should look and feel like cookie dough when well combined.

   Break into even dough balls.

3. Shape the Dough

   Move the dough to the pan and gently flatten to shape a pizza crust, roughly 9 inches in diameter. You want the crust to be less than 1/2 inch thick.

   
   You can use a rolling pin (or a bottle of wine) to roll out the dough. Be sure to lightly oil the dough first.

4. Bake Crust

   Bake for 9-11 minutes until golden. Pull out of oven and prepare to add ingredients.

   

Pizza Toppings

1. Brown Ground Beef or Turkey

   In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and sauté until browned. Drain oil. Place into a bowl and set aside, allowing to cool. 

2. Make Pizza Sauce

   Mix together tomato paste, oil, and water to get a sauce-like consistency. Use a 2-1-1 ratio: 2 Tablespoons paste, 1 Tablespoon oil, 1 Tablespoon water.

   

3. Top the Pizza

   Spread the pizza sauce over the pizza crust evenly.

   Sprinkle the cheese over top of the sauce.

   Top the pizza with ground beef or turkey.

   Sprinkle the chopped basil on top (looks prettier if you wait to do this step AFTER the pizza cooks). 

   
   If you are adding supplements or organ meat, now is the time to sprinkle those on top.

4. Bake and Serve

   Bake for 10 minutes.

   Allow to cool thoroughly. Cut up into bite-sized pizzas and serve.
