Instructions

  • Make sourdough starter according to recipe in link. This is a five day process. You can use your starter for this recipe on day five.
  • Make pizza sauce: Put all ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth. Taste test and adjust seasonings if desired. Keep refrigerated until using.
  • Make cheese: if your making your own cheese you need to make it the day before.
  • In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the cashews and carrot and boil for 10 minutes, or until the carrot is well cooked.
  • Pour cashews and carrot through sieve over a medium size bowl. Transfer the cashews and carrot to a high-speed blender. Do not discard the cooking water.
  • Combine the nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water in a blender. Blend sauce for 2-3 minutes on high speed, until completely smooth. Add more water if needed to create a thick, creamy sauce.
  • Pour the mixture back into the pot and heat, stirring over medium heat. Clumps should immediately begin to form. Continue stirring for 10- 15 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and stretchy. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
  • Let cool and pour into a flat container. Let cool completely.
  • Once cooled, place in the freezer and freeze overnight.
  • Once frozen, cut so it will fit into a food processor chute. Shred and return to the freezer. Keep frozen until ready for use.
  • Make pizza: Preheat over to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Well grease and flour a pizza stone or pan. Set aside.
  • Combine the starter, all purpose and oat flour and cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
  • Add the olive oil and stir in. Add 1 cup of water. Stir it in and add more water by 1/2 cupfuls until a firm, slightly moist, sticky dough is formed. 
  • Cut dough in half and place half in a food processor. Knead for 2 minutes at high speed. If using a stand mixer or by hand, knead for four minutes.
  • Once kneaded, place dough on the prepared pizza pan. Flatten with hands and press out until the dough reaches the edges of the pan. Make sure dough is of even thickness. Coat with olive oil and set aside.
  • Repeat the kneading process with other half of the dough. Prepare as with the other half or set aside for freezing.
  • Cover pizza pan with a clean tea towel and let rise at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
  • Prepare vegetables by slicely thinly and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Place tomatoes and shredded kale in separate bowls.
  • Marinade all with olive oil, lemon juice, italian seasoning, and stevia seasoning marinade. Mix gently until all vegetables are well coated.
  • Place vegetables on two baking sheets, mixed vegetables on one, tomato and kale on the other. Bake each for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Turn oven heat up to 450 degrees F.
  • Spread pizza sauce evenly and liberally over pizza crust.
  • Layer tomatoes on top, then kale and then the mixed vegetables.
  • Bake  pizza for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes more until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  • Remove from heat and slice into 8 pieces with a pizza cutter or knife and kitchen scizzors.
