Who doesn’t love pizza?   My kids sure do.  This week we created this gluten, grain, and dairy free pizza that is officially now my new favorite pizza: Spinach Artichoke Pizza with Caramelized Onions.

Since giving up dairy, I haven’t eaten much pizza.  Sadness!  Pizza used to be such a fun comfort food to indulge in.  I’m pretty sure that it was my favorite food growing up.

What I cook for my family these days consists mostly of organic, season vegetables and properly-sourced meats and eggs.  They do, however, ask for carbs at times.  That is why I created my Grain Free Rosemary Garlic Flatbread.  It is hands down my most favorite grain free and paleo bread recipe.

Last week, we had a craving for pizza and decided to use the flatbread recipe to create a pizza pie that we could all eat.  Pizza just isn’t pizza without the cheese so I created a “creamy” sauce with artichokes and spinach to go on top.  I sprinkled it with a bit of dairy free Parmesan cheese that is ridiculously easy to make.  Add a few caramelized onions.  This was the final result:

Finally, a pizza that I can eat.  And it tastes amazing. The sweetness of the caramelized onions combined so well with the savory artichoke and spinach sauce.  You will never even miss the cheese.  I will definitely be making this again.

Hope you enjoy!

Instructions

TO MAKE FLATBEAD:

1. Preheat oven to 450’F and place a pizza stone, cast iron skillet, or very thick pizza pan into oven to heat up.
2. Gently heat up coconut milk and ghee in a small sauce pan until very warm but not boiling. Combine tapioca flour, sifted coconut flour, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Pour coconut/ghee mixture on top. Mix until thoroughly combined.
4. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes to cool and for coconut flour to absorb.
5. Add beaten egg and mix again until full combined.
6. CAREFULLY remove hot stone/pan from the oven, cover with unbleached parchment paper, and pour mixture into center. Using a spatula, evenly spread mixture until it is about 1/4 inch thick. (you can also prepare flatbread on a cutting board lined with parchment paper and
7. CAREFULLY slide the parchment paper and flatbread onto hot stone in the oven.) Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.

TO MAKE CARAMELIZED ONIONS:

1. Saute onion rounds in 2 TBS ghee or coconut oil for 20-25 minutes on low-medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

TO MAKE DAIRY FREE PARMESAN:

1. Process cashews, nutritional yeast, and salt in a food processor until you have a coarse, even consistency- like crumbly Parmesan cheese. Set aside.

TO MAKE SAUCE:

1. Saute spinach in 1 tsp of fat of choice for about a minute, until it starts to wilt. Add spinach and rest of sauce ingredients to food processor and process until creamy smooth.

TO ASSEMBLE PIZZA:

1. Decrease oven temperature to 400’F. Spread spinach artichoke sauce onto pizza. Add caramelized onions and optional chopped tomato.
2. Bake for 10 minutes, or until pizza is done to your liking. I prefer to bake it right on the rack for a crispier bottom.
3. Remove from oven and sprinkle with dairy free Parmesan.

Notes

Time saving tip: Everything for this pizza can be made ahead of time and assembled for a quick and easy meal. Simply prepare and store sauce, dairy free Parmesan, and caramelized onions in air-tight containers in fridge. The flatbread can sit out on the counter, covered, for a whole day.
