Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flaxseed meal
- 0.75 cup Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaxseed meal, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the olive oil and hot water to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture comes together and forms a dough. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the flaxseed meal to absorb the liquid and firm up slightly.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a 10-12 inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and carefully flip it over using a spatula.
Return the crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes. This ensures both sides are crispy and cooked through.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding your desired toppings.
Top the crust with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Slice and serve your delicious flax pizza crust creation immediately. Enjoy!
