Pizza That'll Knock Your Socks Off
Love these pizzas because the crust is crispy and also a little chewy. The recipe below makes one large pizza, so just double or triple depending on how many mouths you have to feed!

Pizza base/crust ingredients:
2 medium eggs
40 g butter or ghee, melted (can substitute 2 tablespoons of olive oil)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup warm water
2/3 cup cassava flour, tapioca, or arrowroot
1/3 cup coconut flour
For the toppings:
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup grated cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
~40g of prosciutto
1 jalapeno, deseeded and sliced
Small handful of sliced red onion
Small handful of pitted olives, sliced
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200°C
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs with melted (but not hot) butter/ghee, seasonings and water, until fluffy
Add the tapioca flour and coconut flour and mix thoroughly. The batter should be thick, not watery. If needed, add a little more of either of the flours
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat oven or pizza tray (pizza tray preferred)
Scoop the mixture onto the parchment paper, and either using a spatula, back of a spoon, or your hands (like I did), flatten the mixture into a thin pancake
Ensuring the oven has completely warmed up, place the tray on the middle shelf and bake for approx. 15 minutes, until lightly browned and a little crispy. If cooking a few pizzas, you might need to rotate the trays from top to bottom as the oven temperature can vary. Allow a little more time in this case
While the base is baking, mix together the tomato paste, olive oil and dried oregano in a bowl
Once the base is slightly golden brown, remove from oven and add the toppings
Spread a spoonful of the tomato paste mixture over the pre-cooked base
Sprinkle with a few tablespoons of grated cheese
Add a few slices of tomatoes, olives, jalapeno, onion and the prosciutto
Sprinkle some more cheese over the top
Pop the pizza back in for about 5-6 minutes, until the cheese has melted and browned lightly
Slide the pizza off the parchment paper, cut into desired amount of slices and serve!
