Recipe Steps

steps 7

40 min

  • Step 1

    Add the psyllium husk and 3 tablespoons of water to a small bowl. Stir then set aside until a thick gel forms. In a large bowl, add the almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and a good grind of black pepper. Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients together.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Add 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese to a heatproof bowl. Microwave the cheese on high for 30-second bursts to make sure the cheese doesn’t burn. Give it a stir and add in the psyllium gel and egg, stir to loosely combine, but don’t worry if it doesn’t mix through.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the melted cheese and egg mixture. Use your hands to gather the ingredients and form a ball of pizza dough.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C. Transfer the pizza dough between 2 sheets of baking paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to ⅙-inch/ 4mm thickness, peel back the top layer and use a cookie cutter approximately 3.5-inch / 9cm diameter to cut out 12 discs. You will need to roll out the leftovers again to yield more discs.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon tomato concentrate with 2 tablespoons of water to form a loose paste. Roughly chop the chorizo. Smear a small amount in the center of each disc. Sprinkle oregano over the tomato paste along with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and a few chorizo pieces.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Hold the disc in the palm of one hand and gather the edges of the disc by pinching them together to seal. Use any leftover dough to seal any gaps or tears. Place on the baking tray and repeat with the remaining discs.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Bake in the center of the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden and crisp. Serve immediately as they are with some fresh basil, or alongside a small bowl of marinara sauce.
