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.
- 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.
