If you’re following a paleo diet, you may be missing out on one of your favorite foods: pizza. But fear not, because it is possible to make a delicious and nutritious paleo pizza that is just as satisfying as the real thing. In this recipe, we’ll show you how to make a paleo pizza crust using almond flour and coconut flour, and top it off with a variety of tasty and healthy ingredients.

Paleo pizza crust ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Paleo pizza topping ingredients (feel free to mix and match based on your preferences):

• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup diced bell peppers
• 1 cup diced onions
• 1 cup sliced black olives
• 1 cup diced chicken or turkey
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (omit for a dairy-free version)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and olive oil.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The dough should be slightly sticky.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the dough out into a circle or rectangle, depending on the shape you prefer. The dough should be about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden brown.
7. While the crust is baking, prepare your toppings. Dice or slice any vegetables, cook and chop any meats, and shred the cheese (if using).
8. Once the crust is finished baking, remove it from the oven and spread the tomato sauce over the top.
9. Arrange your toppings over the sauce, starting with the larger or firmer ingredients first (such as the mushrooms and bell peppers) and finishing with the smaller or more delicate ingredients (such as the cherry tomatoes).
10. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top of the pizza.
11. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly (if using) and the vegetables are tender.
12. Once the pizza is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

This paleo pizza is a delicious and satisfying alternative to traditional pizza, and it is loaded with nutrients from the almond flour, coconut flour, and a variety of vegetables. The crust is crispy and flavorful, and the toppings are customizable to your taste. You can use this recipe as a base and experiment with different toppings to find your perfect combination. Enjoy!
