Pizza -- the healthy way

Our friends joined us for a fun afternoon of games, followed by a dinner of pizza (and sauteed broccoli -- what can I say, it's broccoli mania here).

Instead of making the pizza in to turnovers, we ate it big and flat. And it was good.

I sauce generously, and use two kinds of cheese -- a boring but organic mozzarella, and some raw milk parmesan.

If you've tried my recipe for panzarotto, this recipe will seem familiar. I thought the pizza bore revisiting, because it's always well received, and before I didn't have any pictures of pizza, only of the panzarotto.  At last, voila, a pizza mosaic:

pizza mosaic

dough ingredients:

1 cup warm water

1 1/2 tbsp honey

2 tsp bread yeast

1 cup almond flour

2 cups kamut flour

2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp dried oregano

2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil

directions:

1. combine the water, honey, and yeast, and allow to foam up

2. mix together the flours, salt, oregano, and coconut oil

3. add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, and knead until it is a smooth dough

4. allow to rise for a while

5. roll 1/2 the dough flat on a piece of parchment-- this recipe will make to xl pizzas that each fill a standard baking sheet. Repeat with the 2nd half of the dough

6. transfer the flattened dough to baking sheets

7. cover the dough generously with sauce

8. cover the sauce generously with cheese

9. add other toppings if you like. We often like sauteed onions and grape tomato quarters. I think mushrooms might be nice, too. Go wild. 

10. bake for 30 or 40 minutes at 345, swapping the positions of the trays halfway through if you are baking 2 at once.

11. Eat with gusto or make your own pizza mosaic.
