I love pizza. And just because I eat a raw diet, does not mean I'm going to sacrifice this dish. Nohow, no way. Last week I had the opportunity to spend 4 days with Alissa Miller, gourmet raw food chef, going through her Raw Food Teacher Training.
That's right, if you want me to make you the most delicious raw food, you know who to come to now. ;-) The recipes we prepared all week were absolutely mouth watering. Honestly, you'd never know most of them were raw. Flavors popping, colors bright and glorious. And of course everyone's skin, energy and moods were at an all time high. How could they not, absorbing all of those live nutrients? Anyway, if you're a pizza love, you'll love this one too.
What You Need For the Pizza Sauce:2 1/2 cups tomatoes
12 sun dried tomatoes soaked overnight
3 dates pitted and soaked overnight
1 cup of mushrooms
1/4 cup olive oil
2 TBS parsley (optional)
1/8 tsp cayenne
1 tsp Himalayan sea salt
4 cloves garlic
2 drops Oregano essential oil
What You Need For the Creamy Cheddar Cheese:
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup macadamia nuts
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cup red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
1 TBS Bragg amino acids
1 drop Black Pepper essential oil
What You Need For the Crust:
2 cups ground flax seeds (not soaked)
1/2 cup onion
2 celery stalks
1 carrot
1 large tomato
2 gloves garlic
1 tsp Himalayan sea salt
1/2 cup water
Toppings: your choice (spinach, onions, mushrooms.....)
What You Need To Do For The Crust:
For the crust, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth
Remove and place on a Teflex sheet on top of a mesh dehydrator screen
Smooth into a 1/4 inch (keep it thicker than you think) large circle
Make the edges a bit thicker
Dehydrate for 8-10 hours
What You Need To Do For the Pizza Sauce:
You can put the sauce (made in processor) and the cheese on the pizza crust after it's dehydrated for 2 hours and let it all go over night, but I kind of like the sauce and cheese at room temp and it makes the crust a little less soggy in my opinion. But either works.
Super easy recipe. It just takes time to prep the crust.

P.S. Thanks Alissa!
P. S. S. The reason I use Essential oils in my recipes is because they have amazing holistic properties: Oregano oil: Infamous for balancing your metabolism and immune system. It is also extremely helpful with respiratory and muscle health.
Pepper oil : Is great for stimulating your metabolism and improving your circulation. Not all essential oils are therapeutic grade and can be taken internally. I use only the very BEST. If you want to know where I get them click
