Dehydrated Buckwheat Pizza


Mmmmmm, pizza--my favorite!  This doesn't taste like the real pizza, but it sure tastes delicious.  You may be wondering why I put dehydrated pizza on the title and not raw pizza.  Well, the buckwheat groats that I bought online were actually roasted, but I figured I should still use them.  You can try to find raw buckwheat if you can, but I heard that most buckwheat is going to be cooked in some way.  I like the way they turned out though, just the way I like them--soft with lots of vegetables.


When I say lots of vegetables, this is what I'm talking about!  If I can take a bite out of that veggie layered pizza without the vegetables spilling, that would be awesome.





Dehydrated Buckwheat Pizza 


Buckwheat Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup buckwheat groats
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsps ground flax seeds
  • 1 peeled zucchini
  • 3 tbsps almond butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp himaylian salt
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsps nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsps Italian seasoning
  • a small amount of water
Directions:

1. Grind the buckwheat and sunflower seeds into a flour.  In a food processor, blend the zucchini well and add it into a medium sized bowl along the rest of the ingredients.  Add a small amount of water and combine the dough and knead it with your hands.  

2. On a piece of parchment paper, lay some dough onto it and with a rolling pin flatten it until you get the pizza thickness you want.  If you desire, you can cut the dough with a cookie cutter or use the inside of a measuring cup to get round pizzas.  When you are done making the pizza crust shapes, gently place each crust into a dehydrator and dehydrate them at 105F. for 12 hours or more.


Best Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of ripe tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil or the olive oil from the sun dried tomatoes jar
  • 2 tsps Italian seasoning or the Italian seasoning from the sun dried tomatoes jar.
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
Directions:

1. In a food processor, blend the sun dried tomatoes and then add the regular tomatoes and blend well.

2. In a small bowl, pour in the tomato sauce and then the rest of the ingredients and stir them together.


Cashew Cheese

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp water
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsps nutritional yeast
Directions:

In a food processor, add all of the ingredients and blend well.  The cheese should resemble a small chunky mixture.

Chop the vegetables and shred the cheese and place them on the pizza.
