Homemade pizzas (vegan & gluten free!)

Josh and I made these amazing homemade pizzas a few times now.. I couldn't find the recipe from last time so tried this new one. It's from my favorite website, one green planet. This is a healthy crust, which is better for you, but also a bit brittle and hard to hold a lot of toppings. Since we like it sloppy, we personally don't care if it falls apart or if we literally have to eat it off the pan. If you want it thicker, double this recipe (or keep it the same and make only one pizza). I had to personally modify the recipe to cover two of our pizza pans, as one serving alone would barely cover half of one pizza pan- it's prob more for a personal sized pizza. Full credit to one green planet for the crust, but clearly it was our creative licenses that went a little crazy on these pizzas.



This recipe makes 2 pizzas, or 1 thick crusted pizza.



Ingredients for crust:

8 tablespoons of ground flax seeds (or chia seeds) and 12 tablespoons of water to make "eggs" for binding
4 cups of unflavored almond or coconut milk
4 teaspoons of minced garlic
4 teaspoons of garlic powder
2 teaspoons of baking powder
2 teaspoons of sea salt
4 cups of coconut flour

Ingredients for toppings:

ANYTHING! Get creative!
We mixed and matched the following ingredients on our 2 pizzas:

Daiya cheese
grape tomatoes
sun-dried tomatoes
homemade vegan pesto sauce (blend together basil, garlic, olive oil & cashews)
broccoli
bell peppers
sautéed onions
marinara sauce
roasted butternut squash
sunflower seeds
olive oil
tempe cooked in BBQ sauce (make homemade BBQ sauce by mixing equal parts organic ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix together ingredients for vegan "eggs" for binding, and allow to sit in a small bowl in the fridge for 10 mins to thicken.

Mix together the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. When "egg" is ready, mix it in with the rest of the ingredients. If dough is too dry, add more milk and if it's too wet add more coconut flour. If it starts cracking, it's too dry and flaky and needs milk added.

Cover and spray 2 pizza pans, or 2 baking sheets. Spread the dough out flat onto the pans. If you're just making one pizza with this amount, make a thicker layer on one pan.



Bake for about 15 minutes or so. Add your toppings however you'd like, and bake for another 5-10 minutes depending on the toppings. Allow to cool before enjoying.
