Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw almonds in food processor. Start processing and keep going until they look almond meal. This is the most important step. Basically, it should look almost as fine as flour. You are creating flour out of almonds!
- 2. Throw your almond meal in a big mixing bowl.
- 3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl that contains the almond meal. Stir/combine with a wooden spoon or even your hands. Your recipe should now resemble the texture of pizza dough!
- 4. Make small pizza crusts out of the dough. You want them quite thin, about 1/4 inch thick. You can try to use a rolling pin, but in my experience the dough is a bit too sticky to roll. I usually make 8 or so single-serving pizza crusts using my dry, clean hands. If your hands get too sticky wash your hands and dry them again. It's easiest to make your raw pizza crusts into circles, but it's also fun to shape them into triangles (make a square out of the dough and then cut into a triangle with a knife so you get clean edges), like pizza slices. However, only bother trying to make triangles if you are going to have guests over for dinner.
- 5. Place your raw pizza crusts on parchment paper or teflex sheets inside your dehydrator. Dehydrate on high for 1 1/2 hours, then reduce heat to 105 degrees and dehydrate for another 7-10 hours or so. Halfway through dehydrating your raw pie crusts youshould remove the parchment/teflex and flip the pie crusts over so that the air can circulate better. Dehydrate them until completely dry.
- 6. Once your raw pizza crusts are done store them in a big ziploc bag and place in the freezer. That way you have raw pizza crusts ready to be thawed and used whenever. :)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Raw pizza crust recipes have always scared me. Why are there so many ingredients? Why do all the raw pizza recipes use "buckwheat" and "zucchini" and other raw ingredients that I never keep in my pantry on a regular basis?? I have been a 100% raw vegan for over 2 years and I have never attempted raw pizza because I feel overwhelmed whenever I look at a raw pizza recipe... Too many ingredients and steps!!
So here you go. I have finally tackled this for you: a super easy and quick raw pizza crust recipe that actually tastes awesome and is a perfect base for raw pizza because it has a very neutral flavor with just a hint of Italian pizza spices.
Oh now, are you wondering how the @#$%#@ do you actually make raw pizza? Let's not overcomplicate things here. Basically, first you need raw pizza crusts. Make them first and store them in your freezer. That's step one. Don't think about anything else yet!
PS: If anyone is wondering about what the heck to do with a dehydrated pizza crust here's a sneak-peak into what to do with it:
Take a dry pizza crust (one that has already been dehydrated). Spread with raw pizza sauce or raw pesto. Top with your fav pizza toppings (pineapple, green pepper, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, whatever) then dehydrate for 2 hours or so - just to warm it up and to get the veggie toppings to dry up a bit. Tadah! Pizza :)

Back in the 60's,while living a rustic lifestyle, we built all kinds of fancy solar dehydrators. However, the one that always worked best was the old car. Just remember to leave a crack in the window to let the moisture out...

Love the recipe-- have been vegan- vegan/raw for four weeks now-- life changing. I've never had more energy in my life and I've lost 12 pounds and never feel hungry. My question is this: Now that I made the crust, and stored it in the freezer, how do I reheat? Put it back in the dehydrator? Can I store it in the refrigerator? Thank you so much! Love your site (just made your delicious "Ranch" dressing, too)!

Hi Brian! Sounds like you are on a ROLL! Well done :)
Great question.
If you want to use them, just take them 1 (or however many you want to use) out of the freezer and put in fridge to let them thaw out and get back to normal.
Then, once they have defrosted in the fridge, just add a sauce (the raw ranch works great!) and some chopped veg (green pepper, sundried tomatoes, onions, etc) then dehydrate for 1-2 hours.
PS: You don't HAVE to freeze them at all, you can make pizzas with them once the crust is dehydrated. You could conceivably make your crusts, then once the crust is ready just add sauce and veg, pop back into dehydrator for a couple more hours.
Hope this helps!

I made this recipe and loved it! My 5 year old son then proceeded to eat the leftovers as is, like chips! Definitely making this more often now!

Dehydrate on high? What is high and if above 45 degrees, is it still raw then? I don't think so but please correct me wrong.

From what I looked up online, it looks like it is still considered raw if not dehydrated above 118°. Which is crazy, because I have been looking through so many raw pizza crust recipes and they all call for a dehydrator and they set it to 150°-200°

Raw pizza crust recipe
Love this!! What if I already have almond meal made up? I forgot to measure it to see how much it was so I was wondering if you do? I try to keep some on hand.

This sounds great and I can't wait to try it. How is the texture after it has been frozen. It is still dry or does it get a little soggy?
The Rawtarian

After you freeze it, you will want to defrost it... then it will be a little soggy, so you'll want to dehydrate it again, just to make it warm, dryer and better! (But you don't need to dehydrate it for very long, depending on the temperature you choose, it could be just like 20 minutes or so.)
Also, what I do:
1. After making a bunch of crusts and dehydrating them..... I freeze the leftover crusts (which have been dehydrated, but they don't have toppings or anything).
2. Defrost the crust in the fridge
3. Add tomato sauce and toppings
4. Dehydrate the whole thing again for about 1 hour (approx) - or if you're in a rush, dial up the heat a bit and you can get it done quicker

If I already have ground almond meal, how much would I need?
The Rawtarian

1 1/2 cups almond meal should do it :)

Just wanna say how much I love these! They are super easy to make, easy to freeze, thaws great & stays crunchy & they just taste amazing! We like to make pizza style but have also made some a little sweeter and added chocolate avocado pudding and fruit.

I've read that the almonds should be soaked before eaten - would soaking alter the recipe?
The Rawtarian

Hi Natasha,
Yes, you can soak them if you want, but it's not necessary. Do pat them dry before processing though.
