Description: This innovative pizza recipe combines classic Italian flavor profiles with the bold spices and textures of Sichuan cuisine, creating a mouthwatering masterpiece perfect for any occasion! Not only is it incredibly satisfying and delicious, but it’s also budget-friendly, gluten-free, high protein, low carb, and easy to prepare – making it ideal for weight loss enthusiasts looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into their diets.
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, yeast, and salt. Set aside.
3. Add the olive oil and 1/2 cup warm water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until the oil has melted and the mixture is slightly warmer than body temperature. Remove from heat.
4. Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well to combine. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup cold water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly until a smooth and sticky dough forms.
5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, adding more almond flour as necessary if the dough feels too wet or sticky.
6. Form the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl, covering the top with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm location for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare the filling while the dough is rising.
For the Filling:
1 cup cooked brown rice (preferably day-old), cooled
1/2 cup frozen edamame, thawed and drained
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
1/4 cup sliced green onions, including both white and green parts
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions:
1. Combine all the filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl and toss well to coat. Set aside.
8. Once the dough has risen, follow the same steps above to shape the dough into a round pizza crust.
9. Spread the prepared filling evenly onto the rolled out crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
10. Sprinkle shredded vegan cheese (such as Follow Your Heart Mozzarella Shreds) over the top of the filling, dividing it evenly.
11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has begun to melt.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Note: For a spicier kick, you can add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the filling mixture.
