So how excited was I when I found a link to a gluten free/Paleo pizza crust on Tina's blog!! I decided to try it out this Saturday and I was so happy with the results. It was thick and hearty, which made it great for holding all of our toppings.

Here s the link to the original recipe, but I thought I'd post it for you as well.
Almond Flax Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
- 1-1/4 cups flaxseed meal
- 1 cup almond flour/meal
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp natural baking powder
- 1 Tbs honey
- 1 tsp Italian mixed dried herbs
- 3 large eggs, beaten until smooth
- 3 Tbs olive oil
- ½ cup water
Directions:
- Heat oven to 425° F.
- Combine flaxseed meal, almond meal, sea salt, baking powder and Italian herbs together until lump-free.
- Beat together eggs, olive oil, honey and water until smooth.
- Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture. Blend well until smooth.
- Press into desired shape.
- Place on a pre-greased or non-stick pizza pan or sit on a silicon baking mat.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the center of the oven until cooked.
- Add favorite toppings and then return to the oven to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
I topped mine with some organic tomato sauce, ground beef, sauteed onions and bell pepper, diced tomatoes, mushrooms and just a handful of shredded raw cheddar cheese. Gary & I were both surprised at how well the crust held up with all those toppings.
I didn't think ahead to make a salad or anything with this, but 1 1/2 slices was plenty for me! Even Gary struggled to eat 2 slices.
My future self is telling me that this might just have to be a weekend staple in our house (add a salad and we have leftovers for lunch the next day).
