  My Grain-Free, Fat-Free Vegan Pizza I love sharing my meals with you guys, but because they are so simple they usually do not require a fancy recipe. However, when it came to this plant-based, fat-free, grain-free, dairy-free pizza— a good recipe share was a must! This recipe is not intended to perfectly mimic your favorite traditional deep dish pizza, but it will hit the spot if you have been on a healing diet and avoiding inflammatory foods. It is crispy, has all the savory pizza flavors, and is Medical Medium protocol friendly! It’s been a loooong time since I have had a traditional pizza, so I have to give that fair warning. However, it was a very positive sign when my non-vegan brother tried it and gave me two thumbs up! There is not any dairy cheese or nut-based cheeze in this— although you are welcome to add all the goodies you’d like on top of this crust. The most indulgent part of this meal is the sea salt, which can be adjusted to your preference. This recipe is intended to create a healthy, healing pizza! I was inspired by two amazing accounts on Instagram @breakingfreewithwhitney and @holisticallythriving while creating this— thank you both for sharing so many of your epic creations.  My Fat-Free + Grain-Free Vegan Pizza Bites  CRUST INGREDIENTS: Makes 1 personal pizza or 3 pizza bites. The bites bake better, but the personal pizza is much more traditional and fun! The personal pizza size will take some extra nurturing and watching to ensure it is cooking evenly. Tip: Be sure to build your crust up just slightly, to prevent burning. 1/2 head of cauliflower 2 large russet potatoes 1 tsp Frontier Co-Op Pizza Spice 1/2 tsp himalayan sea salt CRUST DIRECTIONS: Oven Temp: 425 degrees | Time: 25-30 min 1. Cut cauliflower into florets and blend in a high-speed blender. Blend into “rice” consistency. 2. Use a fine muslin cheesecloth or thin washcloth (I love the washcloth thing) to strain the extra water out of the blended cauliflower. Squueze out as much water out as possible. 3. Peel and chop raw potatoes into small cubes. Place in a high speed blender. Blend into a purée. 4. Strain out excess water from the potatoes using your straining cloth. You will end up with a small amount of potato “dough” after straining that should equal about 1 cup. 5. Mix 1.5 cups of your cauliflower into your potato dough. 5. Add pizza seasonings and sea salt as desired. Mix well! 6. Using a fork, gently press out your dough into desired pizza shape on a baking pan. Tip: I line my pan with parchment paper so that I do not need to use oil. 7. Get your crust about 1/2 inch thick (or a little less is fine) Tip: Using your fork, poke little holes in the dough. This will help it cook more evenly. 8. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Your timing will depend on how crispy you want your crust. It helps to flip your crust around the 20 minute mark to ensure that everything is cooking evenly.  Mini Pizza Crusts FAT-FREE “CHEEZE” TOPPING INGREDIENTS 1 large russet potato 1/2 cup blended up cauliflower (from your leftovers!) 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 2 tbs coconut aminos 2 tsp lemon juice a dash of himalayan sea salt (to taste) FAT-FREE “CHEEZE” TOPPING DIRECTIONS 1. Chop up and steam 1 large russet potato. 2. After it’s done, add it to 1/2 cup of blended up cauliflower (what you have left over from making the dough) 3. Add spices, coconut aminos, and lemon juice. 4. Mash together. This is basically glorified mash potatoes! TO SIMPLIFY IT: The addition of cauliflower adds a bit of texture but you can omit this if you aren’t big on cauliflower. Mixing together lemon juice + potatoes + garlic powder on its own is highly satisfying. Or, you can use your pre-made cheese of choice!  Fat-Free “Cheeze” Topping TOMATO SAUCE 1/4 cup tomato paste 1 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp Frontier Co-Op Pizza Spice a dash of himalayan sea salt (to taste) * if you like sweetness in your sauce you can always add 1 tsp + of apple juice Mix together! TO SIMPLIFY : just spreading a light layer of tomato paste as a “sauce” or your store-bought sauce of choice works, too. The rest of this recipe is pretty self-explanatory. Just layer your toppings of choice and you have your pizza! I personally love tomatoes, green onions, red onions, spinach, and sprouts! Tip: After I add my raw toppings, I put this back in the oven for about 5 minutes just to warm it up. And that’s it! I hope you enjoy!    Comments are closed.
