Instructions
Steps for making Broccoli Pizza crust
Mix the dry ingredientsIn 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 CheesesAdd 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 ingredientsAdd 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 shapeUsing 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 ToppingsOnce 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 MeltedReturn the crust with the toppings to the oven set to 375* and bake until the cheese has melted.
