Greeting my Friends!
Can you believe that pizza can be made without flour, yet it is absolutely delicious? Not to mention super healthy and satisfying.
It took me a while before I finally made it, to be honest, I was little bit unsure how it will turned out. I studied many recipes online, but I had to make some adjustments to my liking. Well this is just the crust I am talking about, however, the topping you can choose your own. You decide!
Sorry for the double posting, but I didn't know what was going on! Everything was fine on , the video uploaded fast, but it wasn't appearing on Hive. It appeared here one hour later after was published.

Materials
• CRUST
• 300 gr frozen cauliflower rice or 1/2lb, defrosted
• 1 cup of almond flour
• 2 tbsp ground chia
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Himalayan pink salt to taste
• ½ tsp baking powder

• ½ cup sundried tomatoes soaked for 15minutes in 1/2cup of water
• 2 cloves garlic diced
• Himalayan pink salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp dry oregano
• ½ tsp dry basil
• Blend all in a blender including water, until smooth. You may add more water if needed.
• GARLIC CASHEW CREAM
• 1 cup cashews soaked for 6hours and rinsed
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Himalayan pink salt to taste
• Blend all in a blender until smooth.
• TEMPEH BACON BITS
• 250 g tempeh 1 package
• 2 tbsp Bragg aminos
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• Himalayan pink salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• ½ tbsp smoke liquid
• 3 tbsp grape seed oil or oil of your choice
Instructions
By using cotton cloth or nut bag, squeeze out liquid from the cauliflower rice.
In a large bowl, mix thoroughly all the crust ingredients and shape a ball.
Place it on your working surface lined with parchment paper and press down gently with your palms until flat.
Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and start rolling with rolling pin until thin. You may divide the dough in two before you start, that way you can have two smaller round pizzas instead oval large one.
When ready, gently peel the paper off and trim the edges. Cover with a new sheet of paper and freeze for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400F, (200C).
Take out the crust from a freezer and flip upside down while placing on a baking sheet. Peel off the paper and flip over again, while leaving the top paper on the baking sheet, this time under the crust. (See video for instructions).
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
When ready, remove from the oven and add your favorite toppings. If you like, you can apply my homemade tomato sauce. You can also add Daiya cheese or other vegan cheese.
Bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.
Sprinkle with tempeh bacon bits and if you decided to try my garlic cashew cream instead of cheese, then drizzle with it and enjoy!
TEMPEH BACON BITS
Cut tempeh into a wedges and brake them into smaller pieces.
Now you can either grind them in a food processor, or with a pastry cutter in a bowl, until you get ground like texture.
When ready, add all the remaining spices starting with Brag aminos and mix thoroughly.
Heat oil in frying pan and sauté until golden brown.
Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you will try this delicious recipe 🍅🌿🍅
