Paleo Pizza

This pizza version removes the grain & dairy and still taste good!  This is a basic pizza recipe. You can alter it and add whatever veggies & meats that you like to make your favorite style of pizza.  This recipe makes 4 servings


Ingredients

• 3 tsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), Divided (2 tsp for baking sheet and the remainder in a skillet when cooking the sausage)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 3 tbsp cashew butter
• 1/3 cup egg whites
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 chopped red pepper
• 1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes
• 1 large Italian sausage, cut in 1/2" slices
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce (Whole Foods:  Cucina Antica makes the best sauces..All natural & No Sugar Added)
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp fennel seed

Instructions

1. Mix almond flour, cashew butter & egg whites in a small bowl.  This makes the dough.
2. Cover a pizza baking sheet with 2 tsp of olive oil, then spread the "dough" mixture over it, making a 1/4" thick crust.  Preheat oven to 250F.
3. In a skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the sliced sausage.  Once browned remove from skillet & place in small bowl.
4. Add the garlic, onions & red pepper to the skillet.  Saute the veggies shortly.  You do not want them to be too soft.
5. Cover the dough with the marinara sauce, then add the meat & all the veggies EXCEPT the tomatoes.  Add the oregano & fennel seed, then bake for 30 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven, add the halved tomatoes.
7. Make sure to be careful when lifting slices off the pan.  The dough will be thicker than normal.  Use a spatula if needed.

You can also add mozzarella cheese, however, keep in mind, dairy is not Paleo.  If you want to add cheese, just make sure it is a low sodium cheese.
