Grain free pizza crust

 

 

INGREDIENTS

 

8 oz of cream cheese

1 egg

1  1/2 cup almond flour

1 cup ground flax

1/2 tsp sea salt

 

DIRECTIONS

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium size bowl, cream the cream cheese. Add egg.
Mix in remaining ingredients. The dough will be sticky.
Place dough on a parchment lined pizza baking sheet (mine is about 14″ round). Cover with another piece of parchment and roll out to edges of pie pan. I started with a rolling pan, but I finished it off using my fingers.
Bake in oven for approximately 20-25 minutes until the crust is dry but not too browned.
Remove from oven. Top with traditional pizza toppings (I made a turkey cheeseburger pizza).
Pop it back in the oven for approximately 10 minutes until cheese is gooey. The flash up the broiler for 2-3 minutes to give the cheese a nice golden brown colour.
Serves 8

Chill the pan in the freezer until some what firm. 20 minutes or so…
Spread fig filling over the cookie dough. Freeze until very firm. At least an hour.
Spread remaining cookie dough over the filling. Butter knife method seemed to work best.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 35 – 40 minutes. Cool and cut into squares. Will freeze fairly well, but you will want to seperate layers with waxed paper.
