This recipe makes two medium pizzas.

INGREDIENTS

260 g almond meal

130 g arrowroot flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon of sea salt

3 organic free-range eggs

4 tablespoons coconut oil or macadamia oil

125 ml of almond milk

METHOD

1. Preheat Pizza oven on setting PREHEAT for 15 minutes.

2. Combine the almond meal, arrowroot flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl combine the eggs, oil and almond milk and whisk until combined.

3. Fold the egg mixture into one-third of the dry ingredients at a time and mix thoroughly to form a smooth, thick batter.

4. Select CLASSIC crust setting.

5. Grease a 30cm (12 inches) pizza pan with oil and line with baking paper.

6. Spoon half of the mixture onto the lined pizza pan. Using a palette knife, spread the mixture to a thickness of approximately 5 mm in a round/rectangular shape, as desired.

7. Bake the pizza base for 5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.

8. Flip the pizza base over onto another large piece of baking paper, peel away the top layer of paper, and add the toppings of your choice.

9. Transfer the pizza and baking paper together onto the pizza stone and then close the lid. Cook for 2 minutes.

10. Open the lid and slide the paper out carefully; close the lid and cook a further 5 – 7 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Monitor cooking progress through the viewing window. The topping should be melted and golden, and the base crisp and brown.

11. Open the lid carefully with an oven mitt and remove the pizza onto a chopping board. Cut into 8 wedges and serve immediately.

12. Repeat with the second base or store in the freezer for another time.
