Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Raw cashews (soaked for 4 hours)
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Crushed tomatoes (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, and salt.
Add eggs, olive oil, and water to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Knead gently with your hands to ensure it's evenly mixed.
Roll out the dough into a round pizza crust about 1/4-inch thick on the prepared parchment paper.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it starts to firm up and lightly golden around the edges.
While the crust bakes, prepare the cashew cheese by draining the soaked cashews and blending them with nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more almond milk if necessary to achieve a spreadable consistency.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes with dried oregano and black pepper to create a simple pizza sauce.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.
Dollop or spread the cashew cheese over the sauce, then top with fresh spinach leaves.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your paleo-friendly spinach and 'cheese' pizza!
