Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour (buckwheat/amaranth/sorghum)
- 2-3 tbsp coconut/cashew butter
- 1 tsp powdered dried herbs (mix of oregano, basil, thyme)
- 1 tsp unrefined salt
- ¼ – ½ cup warm water
Method
I a bowl, take all the ingredients except water and mix well to obtain a crumbly texture. Adding one tablespoon of water at a time, knead to make a soft dough. Divide the dough into 2 equal sized balls. Dust a plain surface with flour and press the dough ball with the tips of your fingers, keeping in mind that the centre should be thick and the edges thinner. Make a 6” wide disc. Using a fork, make indents all over. Roast this disc of dough on a heated tawa (griddle) on low-medium heat, until it is 60% done. Or bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C, on a parchment lined baking sheet until half done. The pizza base is ready.
To Make a Pizza
