Broccoli Pizza Crust Ingredients

  • cup Mozarella Cheese Shredded or Grated
  • 2 tbsp Cream Cheese Softened
  • ¼ cup Almond Flour I use Kirkland (Costco)

  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup Riced Broccoli dried on paper towel

Instructions
 

Steps for making Broccoli Pizza crust

  • Mix the dry ingredients
    In a bowl attached to a stand mixer (or for a handheld electric mixer), whisk almond flour, chia meal flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • Melt the Cheeses
    Add mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to a microwaveable bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir the cheeses together to combine. Heat again in the microwave for 20 seconds.
  • Combine cheese mixture and dry ingredients
    Add the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and beat on low speed for a few seconds.
    Now mix in the riced broccoli and egg. On medium speed, mix all the ingredients to incorporate.
  • Form the dough into a pizza crust shape
    Using a spatula, bring the mixture into a sticky dough-like ball.
    Transfer the sticky 'dough' ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and starting from the middle, press the ball down to flatten it into a circle. Use a greased-bottomed measuring cup or wet fingers to flatten the dough evenly to form a circular pizza base. The base will be about 1/4 inch thick and 8-10 inches in diameter.
  • Prebake the crust
    Bake the crust in the oven @ 375F for 15 mins. Switch the oven off and let the Broccoli pizza crust sit in the oven for 5 minutes. You can transfer it to a wire rack, then let it sit in the oven for 5 mins for a firmer crust.Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Refrigerate for up to one week. Freeze for up to one week.
  • Add the Toppings
    Once cooled, spread the pizza crust base with pizza sauce.Sprinkle Mozzarella all over the sauce. Top with the rest of the ingredients.Bake for 8 mins until the cheese has melted. I broil the top on low to brown the top further without burning the edges.Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.Cool for a few minutes then cut into six slices and serve.
  • Bake until the Cheese has Melted
    Return the crust with the toppings to the oven set to 375* and bake until the cheese has melted.
