Just about everyone loves pizza! But all that fat from the cheese and empty calories from the crust can be a killer…literally. Our wizards in the Optimum Health Institute (OHI) kitchens have cooked up – or rather dehydrated – a delicious and healthy alternative that coaxes tons of satisfying flavor from seeds, grains and vegetables.
It takes a little time to create because of the dehydrating required, so plan ahead; then prepare to be delighted with this delicious recipe that’s been a guest favorite for years.
This recipe yields 8 servings, or 2 pizzas.
Gomashio “Cheese” Topping
2 cups dehydrated sesame seeds (or dried sesame pulp)

Blend ingredients together and set aside for sprinkling on top of the pizza.
Crust

Grind dry flax. Blend berries and water. Add flax to batter, stir until smooth. Spoon half the mixture at a time onto dehydrator sheets to make two crusts and let dry at 105 degrees for 24 hours.

Add sauce and toppings immediately before serving.
