Marla’s Famous Paleo Pizza Recipe

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450° F
2. Use a food processor to grate the eggplant.
3. Transfer the grated eggplant to a medium size mixing bowl.
4. Measure out the cheese & almond meal and add the 2 cloves of minced garlic to the bowl along with the egg white.
5. You can add any other extra ingredients or seasonings to the crust. I usually add some salt, pepper and oregano, to taste.
6. Mix together all the ingredients so they're fully blended.
7. Roll out the Parchment paper along whatever you are using to bake your crust. I have a Large circular Baking Stone, but you can use any baking sheet of any shape.
8. Butter the Parchment paper. Note: You'll see why this is important to do when you get to step 12.
9. Pour the pizza dough mixture out on the parchment paper, and using your hands, flatten out the dough into your desired shape.
10. Put in the oven for 15 minutes.
11. While the crust is cooking cook the italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat and cut up all the veggies you'd like to use for your toppings.
12. Pull the crust out of the oven and use the parchment paper to help you flip the crust over back onto the stone. At this point the crust should be slightly cooked through. Not much of the crust should stick to the paper since you buttered it. At this point you can now throw away the parchment paper, it's done its job.
13. Put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes, still at 450° F (After 5 minutes, if the crust edges don't look completely done, give it a minute or two more, but keep your eye on it so it doesn't burn.)
14. Pull out of the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. This will increase how firm the dough gets, prior to adding the toppings.
15. Decorate your pizza with all the toppings you'd like.
16. Put back in the oven for another 10 minutes, now at 350° F. Once the cheese is melted, you know it's done
17. Take the pizza out of the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool down, then cut & eat!
18. Enjoy :)
