Pizza Crust that’s Delicious and Nutritious
I’ve been really enjoying cooking from the Nourishing Traditions Cookbook lately. We mostly eat in accordance with the Weston A. Price / Ancestral diet these days, and boy oh boy let me tell you – it does not feel like a diet (ps: it’s not). I never feel deprived and we still get to eat plenty of delicious foods! So, when I saw that they had a pizza crust recipe – I just had to try it! We love pizza, and giving it up would be a non-negotiable, with this crust recipe, we can still enjoy our weekly pizza nights and not feel so bloated afterwards!
This crust is so good! It’s also very different from the typical chewy pizza crust you may be used to. However, it got raving reviews from all my kiddos and even my hubby, so it’s our new go-to for Friday Pizza Nights! This crust also makes a great empanada dough and pie crust (it most closely resembles pie dough in taste & texture, actually).
For some inspiration, you can try the following Pizza topping variations:
- Good ol’ Marinara sauce & Mozzarella cheese
- Sausage, Pepperoni, Bacon, Ham, etc. (toss ‘em all on there for Meat Lovers!)
- Homemade Alfredo sauce with Chicken and/or Broccoli
- Chicken, Bacon & Homemade Ranch
- BBQ Chicken
- Hawiian (Chicken & Pineapple)
- Add some jalapenos, onions, mushrooms, black olives or anything else you might enjoy!
