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 :)

Raw pizza crust recipe
I made the crusts yesterday, put them in the dehydrator and they were ready this morning. I took a bite of the one I broke in half. Dang it! It was good....but not nearly as good as it tasted once I put the goodies on top!!!!! I hand-crushed a mixture of young greens and sliced up some red bell pepper really thinnly; then coated that mixture with a little olive oil and sea salt; then I put some crushed raw garlic on top of the crust and put that, plus the veggies in the dehydrator for about an hour to warm up. After that, I assembled the pizza, added some sliced, grape tomatoes and devoured it!! My goodness!! I'm going for seconds. I'm going to have to make more to last throughout the week for work.
Oh yeah....by the time I made my spongy bread and whatever else I made to freeze for the week or two...I was out of almonds, so I used Brazil nuts for the crust. Great substitute (tons of Selenium)!

Might oregano work in place of thyme?

Hello,
I wondered what I could substitute the flax seeds with? My skin reacts terribly to the oils in flax!
The Rawtarian

Hi Adriane, you could try ground chia seeds instead (chia seed meal)

Could you just use almond meal if you don't have a processor?

Definitely Rebekah - as long as your flaxseed is already ground also (AKA flaxseed meal)

Raw pizza crust recipe
Great recipe!! The first time I made these it was difficult to spread the mixture. This time I placed a piece of Saran Wrap over the balls of dough and pressed down to form the crusts. So much better!! It worked beautifully.
Please keep posting more recipes.
I also loved your tomato sauce. I added a few dates to add a little more sweetness. Delicious!

Can I substitute the almonds for anything in this recipe? Thanks!

Cashews would work out great instead of almonds. Hope they turn out well for you, Jessica!

Raw pizza crust recipe
Made this last night and had to leave early for a 12 hour shift at work. I tasted a corner and it was delish. Can't wait to make some pizza on my ready made crust! I also had a friend make some ranch (last night) for my BLT for work today so the rest can go on my pizza later- yum ^_^

Woohoo you are on a roll, Jessica!!! Hopefully your BLT will keep you going on your 12hr shift! Mmm jealous of the pizza you'll be having later. yum!

Can I just heat the pizza up in the oven after I top it? Obviously I need to still dehydrate the crust, but once that's done and I top it, will the oven work fine for faster results and also to retain some of the juices in the food? Or will that mess it up somehow?
The Rawtarian

Hi Nikol, I haven't done the oven myself, but at a low temp just for the reheating procedure (not the first dehydrating part) will probably be fine, although it may crumble a bit in the oven.
PS: Nice abs in the avatar!

I dehydrated mine in a gardenmaster dehydrator last night and it was dry. I didn't bother with parchment paper since I knew it wouldn't fall through the cracks. I made it as thin as I could and cut it into rectangles (like they used to give you in school) so that it would fit in the dehydrator better. I posted a picture of how I made it work for me in the comments here. Hope that helps!

Quick answer is two-fold:
(1) increase the heat for the first hour
(2) spread out thinner
But also, round dehydrators generally suck :) The air doesn't circulate properly in them.
Best dehydrator is 9-tray excalibur, hands down. But... it is expensive! http://tinyurl.com/ah6o3qt
You can also get a Vegikiln - they are cheaper, white, not as "reputable" but they get the job done: http://tinyurl.com/avb59e3

What could I substitute for olive oil? Thanks!

I'm going to try it without the oil and a little extra water. There's already a stack load of oil in the nuts and seeds so I don't want to be adding more either. Fingers crossed it works.

Hi Jason! Let me know how it turns out! :)

Seems to have held ok. I spread the base a little thin I think but it has held minus the oil. I can imagine it would bind so much better with it though if you're not concerned about eating the extra oil.
Recipe tastes great though and makes super tasty snack pizzas.
