Paleo Sweet Potato Crust Pizza

By ROBandSEAN

Once I took my first bite, I knew this was the recipe I had been dreaming of. The high-protein, vitamin-A-rich crust keeps a nice crunch on the outside and tastes like an extrafluffy mashed potato in the center. Even better, half of this pie offers over 20 percent of recommended fiber for the day, so unlike your standard neighborhood slice, this pizza will keep you full and satisfied hours later

Ingredients

• 2-3 medium sweet potatoes (enough to yield 1 cup of mashed sweet potatoes)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400ºF degrees, and set a large pot of water to boil.
Peel and cut your sweet potatoes into quarters. Add potatoes to boiling water, turn down to simmer, and boil them for about 20 minutes or until a knife easily pierces the flesh.
Drain potatoes from the water, and mash well in a large bowl.
Add one cup of your sweet potato mash, almond flour, baking soda, Italian seasoning, and salt to a large bowl. Knead well together with your hands until the mixture resembles a ball of orange pizza dough.
Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper, and press out the dough to a large circle. The dough should be about a 1/2 inch thick.
Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges of the dough are slightly browned.
Remove your pizza from the oven, add the sauce, cheese, and preferred toppings, and broil for three to five minutes until cheese is melted.
Slice up, and enjoy immediately
