Awesome Pizza Recipe

Kristian really likes his pizza. This recipe is for people who want to eat healthy, but feel like they’re missing out on pizza…
I think that if you follow the 90/10 rule, and that 90% of the time you eat nutrient dense quality foods, that you can afford to eat non-optimal foods 10% of the time. But this recipe doesn’t encroach the 10%- bargain!
It’s very filling because the base is all almonds. It’s high in fat- but essential awesome fats.
When you’re eating really well you do sometimes get cravings for junk foods, well Kristian and I sometimes do, especially post training, and this recipe really satisfies that craving without putting you backwards.

Ingredients:
Crust:
2 Cups Almond Meal/Flour
2 Eggs
2 Tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tsp salt

Instructions:
Crust:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees f
2. Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. This should give you a ball of “dough”. If your dough is too “mushy”, continue to add almond flour until you get a good consistency.
3. Make a pizza sheet or baking tray non-stick. This is VERY important if you want your pizza slices to come off in one piece.
4. Press your dough on the sheet nice and even about 1/4 inch in the middle and 1/2 inch at the edges.
5. Put crust in the oven for 15 minutes. It should look slightly golden brown when you take it out.

cooked, and then tomato paste base added...

Once the base has been cooked, you are free to add your tomato paste and toppings.
In this one below we added chicken (already cooked), red capsicum, mushies, toms, organic mozzarella and a homemade basil pesto. It turned out pretty amazing. Went along great with a big-ass salad and a glass of red.

done and looking pretty scrummy

We got the recipe for the base from Mark Sisson’s website, Mark’s Daily Apple. I’ve been trying a few of their recipes and so far they’ve all been pretty darn good. I can also highly recommend the roast chicken marinade called “Cuban Mojo”- it’s insanely tasty, and beats anything you can get in a jar.
