Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups coconut flour
- 0.5 cups tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 cups tomato sauce
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and sea salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, olive oil, and warm water.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and use your hands to press and shape it into a pizza crust about 10 inches in diameter.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top.
Place the fresh mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and lay the slices of prosciutto over the melted cheese.
Top with fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Sprinkle with cracked black pepper to taste.
Slice into 4 pieces and serve immediately.
