by | May 5, 2018 | Main Meals and Sides, Recipes | 0 comments

  • 50g Parmesan
  • 50g cheddar
  • 200g Mozzarella, cubed
  • 150g almond meal
  • ½ tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1 egg

Method:

  1. Place Parmesan and cheddar into TM bowl and grate 10 secs/speed 8. Set aside.
  2. Place Mozzarella into TM bowl and grate 5 secs/speed 5. Set 50g grated Mozzarella aside with the other cheeses for sprinkling on top of the pizzas.
  3. With 150g of the Mozzarella still in TM bowl, add almond meal, salt, and egg and mix 10 secs/speed 4 until mixture starts to come together.
  4. Tip out onto a sheet of baking paper and knead gently to form a soft dough. (Add a little more almond meal if too sticky and wet.)
  5. Roll out between 2 sheets of baking paper and cut into rounds to fit your pizza trays.
  6. Bake until lightly golden then sprinkle 1/2 of reserved grated cheeses over pizza bases and return to the oven for 10 mins to melt cheese.
  7. Using the back of a spoon, spread melted cheese over the bases and allow to cool. (This layer of cheese will help stop your pizza sauce from soaking into the base too much.)
  8. Add your favourite pizza toppings (finishing with the remaining cheese) and return pizza to oven to cook until cheese is golden and bubbling.
  9. Slice and serve.

Traditional Method:

  1. Heat oven to 180C.
  2. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater then place all ingredients into a bowl and stir until mixture comes together.
  3. Follow steps 3-9 above.
