Servings 8

Ingredients
  

Pizza

  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 cup Spinach Artichoke Dip
  • 1 cup Classic Tomato Sauce
  • Topping ideas: Green peppers, mushrooms, olives, onions, and/or roasted red bell peppers.

Macadamia Nut Cheese

  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour, flaxseed meal, salt, and water in a food processor until dough forms a ball. Turn dough onto a floured work surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rub a little flour on a rolling pin, and roll dough out onto a preheated pizza stone or an oiled pizza pan into a 12-inch or 14-inch circle (depending upon the thickness of crust you prefer). If dough is too sticky to roll, put some flour on your fingertips and press dough to edges. With a fork, poke holes all across crust dough. Bake 10 minutes, and remove from oven.
  • Spread Spinach Artichoke Dip across crust, and top with Classic Tomato Sauce. Add desired toppings. Bake 20 minutes or until edges of crust are brown and slightly crispy. Remove from oven, and let sit 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Macadamia Nut Cheese

  • Place macadamia nuts in a food processor until finely ground like grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on top of cooked pizza.
    Macadamia Nut Cheese
  • Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Notes

  • Substitute Pesto for the Spinach Artichoke Dip.
  • Use Artichoke-Tomato Sauce or Eggplant Tomato Sauce instead of Classic Tomato Sauce. Place sauce in food processor, and pulse until it reaches desired consistency.
  • Substitute lightly-salted cashews for macadamia nuts.

Hi ! I don’t have any flaxseed meal. Is there a substitute? Or am I able to make it without it?

Will rice flour work for in lieu of wheat?

Hi, Carol! I have not tried brown rice flour with this recipe, but I do know from experience that it is much different texture-wise. I’m not sure it would work unless you used 1/2 brown rice flour and 1/2 of some other type of whole grain (or bean) flour, such as garbanzo bean flour. But, yes, you can substitute any Daniel Fast friendly flour(s) in this recipe. Thanks for your question!

Hi, I don’t have a food processor. Is there any store bought spinach and artichoke dip that I could try instead? Or maybe I could just make it without the dip.

Do you have a blender? That would work. I seriously doubt if you can find a Daniel Fast friendly dip anywhere in stores. You can try, though! But I’m almost positive there will be restricted ingredients in it. Thanks for your question!

Unfortunately, it probably contains ingredients that aren’t allowed on the fast. What does the ingredients label say?

Hi,
I have a question about the flour. I am not able to use Wheat flour due to Celiacs Disease….am I able to use Gluten Free Flour? Most Gluten free flour are made from rice, corn, even some from oats. If so is there a specific brand to get or are most okay?

Thanks!

You can substitute any whole grain flour. So gluten-free flour is acceptable as long as the grains used are WHOLE GRAIN. For example, regular “rice flour” isn’t whole grain, but brown rice flour is. I don’t have a specific brand to recommend. Just read the labels carefully to be sure the flour is Daniel Fast friendly.

This website is such a blessing. I was almost about to quit but thank God I’m still pressing. Anyhow, I used spaghetti squash as my “cheese”. It looks appealing and tastes good. I also added garlic and onion powder to my dough mixture and put some olive oil and Italian herbs when I baked it.

I have done a Daniel fast every January for many years, but this is the first time my husband and daughter are doing it with me. This pizza made them both happy tonight 🙂 just a note, I made the dough in my bread machine, turning off the machine after the first mixing, and letting the dough rest in there. This worked very well.

I think it would be fine. I’ve never tried using all oat flour for the crust. Let me know how it comes out!

I don’t have a food processor. I have a Vita Mix machine but I don’t have the dry container that goes with it to make dough. Do you have any other suggestions for making the dough for the pizza? I really would love to make this for my family.

Thanks!

Hi, Anita! I don’t have a specific recipe, but you could try a combination of corn flour and brown rice flour. I haven’t tried it myself, so let me know if you do!

I have made a cauliflower pizza crust, and it was really good. I didn’t use any sort of cheese on it, though – only sauce and toppings.

This recipe is amazing! Everyone in the family loves it. Cooked it on parchment paper & it was crispy & easy to get out of the pan.

I made this pizza tonight, and it was delicious! I stretched the crust super thin-it was crispy and just yummy! All of the recipes I have tried from this site have been great (oatmeal raisin cookies are going in the oven in a minute), and the stories people share are so inspiring! This is my first Daniel Fast, and I am really enjoying this time of being in closer communion with the Lord. Thank you so much for your ideas, insights, inspiration, and recipes!

I’m wondering if there are any other “cheese” options to replace the nuts as my son has tree nut and peanut allergy. thanks.

Well, the “nut cheese” in this recipe is more visual than anything. You could eliminate it and be fine. The only other nut-free vegan “cheeses” contain ingredients that aren’t allowed on the Daniel Fast, so they’re not an option. Maybe someone else has a suggestion?

Crumbled tofu could also be used to give the cheesy look.

You can always heat up the crust for about 10 minutes or so before adding the sauce and toppings.
