Serves 3
Ingredients:
Crust (Makes 3 small pizza crusts):
- 1 Head of Cauliflower
- 1/ 4 Cup Nutritional Yeast
- 3 Tablespoon flaxseed meal + 8 Tbsp water (Mix together/ egg substitute)
- 2 Tablespoon Almond Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Thyme (or dried)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Oregano (or dried)
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Pepper
Sauce:
- 2 8oz Can Tomato Sauce
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon Onion Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Thyme (or dried)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Oregano (or dried)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley (or dried)
- 2 Teaspoons Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Cashew Cheese:
- 1 1/2 Cup Cashews (Soaked in boil water for 15 minutes)
- 3/4 Cup Water
- 5 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
- 2 Tablespoon Almond Flower
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- Salt to taste (1 Teaspoon)
Toppings:
- 2 Large Tomatos
- 1 Bunch of Fresh Basil
- 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Mix 1 1/2 Tablespoon flaxseed meal plus 4 Tbsp water; mix together and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a large blender add all crust ingredients and blend on high until everything is well combined and mushy. If too dry add 1 more Tablespoon of flaxseed meal (mixture).
- On a cookie sheet with parchment paper add 1/3 of the crust mixture and make a circle. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (if you would like it to be more crispy add 10 more minutes). Repeat this 2 more times. Crust should be slightly bouncy and the ends should be crispy.
- In a large pan add all of the sauce ingredients and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes.
- In a bullet or blender add all of the cashew cheese ingredients and blend well. Cheese should look a little thicker than cream.
- Add sauce to the cauliflower crust and spread well ( I like mine saucy). Add 1 tablespoon or larger of cheese randomly on the sauce, add sliced tomatoes, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and pieces of fresh basil.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
