Clean Eating Grain Free Thin Crust Pizza Dough (Makes 1 large pizza ) Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup sunflower seed flour (see directions below) 1 1/2 cups almond flour 1 tbsp. garlic powder 1 tbsp. onion powder 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning 2 tbsp. coconut oil 3 whole eggs Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours and spices. Blend well. Using your hands, rub the coconut oil into the mix, much like cutting butter into flour. Rub it in well until you have no clumps of oil left. Again, using your hands, mix in the eggs and knead until you have a somewhat sticky dough. Wash your hands, then with them still being damp, spread your dough over a pizza pan or cookie sheet that has oiled parchment on it. (You can also rub a little oil on your hands if that works better) This is important. Without parchment AND oil, you’ll end up with a mess. (I learned the hard way on that!) Spread the dough out over your pizza pan or cookie sheet. This can take a few minutes, so don’t give up. You want it to be about 1/4 inch thick. So pretty thin! Bake at 350 F. for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Carefully (get help if you need extra hands), flip the dough over. Top with your pizza toppings and bake as needed. You may see a bit of a “raw” spot in the middle when you flip the crust. You can bake this further for about 10 minutes or you can simply add your toppings and finish baking that way. SUNFLOWER SEED FLOUR This is a very simple process. Just empty a bag of sunflower seed into a food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes, or until you have flour. Note that it will be a bit more coarse than regular flour. Nutritional Content: (Data is for 1/8 the recipe.)
