Paleo Pizza dough or Cracker
Ingredients:
-
½ cup almond flour ( add more as necessary for a workable dough consistency)
-
1 egg (when I use it for crackers I just add the egg yolk and water as needed)
-
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
-
¼ teaspoon or just a pinch of salt (depending on your taste)
-
Italian spices such as basil and oregano to taste
-
1 clove garlic pressed (optional)
In a bowl mix the above ingredients together and add more flour as needed to form a ball. Line a pan( a pizza pan or a cookie sheet) with parchment paper. Add the dough ball pressing it down with hands to form the shape of a small crust. You can also roll it out between two parchment paper and at the end remove the top layer and place it in the oven. Don’t worry if it’s not as big as the pan.Preheat the oven to 350F with the crust in pan(this allows the crust to setup and brown a bit) By the time the oven heats up, the crust should be crisp and ready for toppings. If you use it as crackers bake it until it’s golden brown around the edges (about 10 minutes) then take it out, cool and slice it into square or rectangular shaped crackers.
