Recipe


Ingredients

  • Pizza Bases
  • 1½ cups almond meal, plus extra as needed
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • ¼ tsp Celtic sea salt
  • 1 tsp apple-cider vinegar

  • Toppings
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste (concentrated purée)
  • 105g oven-roasted tomatoes (optional)
  • ⅔ cup grated cheddar cheese or goat’s cheese
  • 80g chopped ham
  • Dulse flakes, for sprinkling (optional)

Method


  • Preheat oven to 220°C and lightly grease 2 small pizza pans.
  • To prepare pizza bases, combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl to form loose dough. If it feels too wet, add a little more almond meal.
  • Dust bench with almond meal and knead dough with hands until smooth. Shape into a ball, cut dough in half and roll each portion out into thin circle about 15cm diameter, working from the inside out in a clockwise motion. Add more almond meal if too sticky.
  • Place bases on prepared pizza pans and bake for 10 mins.
  • Remove bases from oven and spread with tomato paste, leaving a 1cm border. Scatter over tomato, cheese and ham, and sprinkle with dulse flakes.
  • Return pizzas to oven for 7–10 mins, or until crispy.
