This Primal, clean spin on buffalo sauce pizza with grain-free pizza crust includes an easy-to-make crust made from an almond flour mix—no messy crumbs of cauliflower all over the counter. Medium-heat Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce, made with avocado oil and without xanthan gum or artificial flavors, blankets the grain-free pizza crust with peppery, cayenne-colored sauce. Shredded whole-milk mozzarella and sour cream cool the heat a notch, cubed chicken thighs add meaty bite, and fresh cilantro adds a sprinkle of fresh flavor and a pop of green.
Grain-Free Pizza Crust
Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 box Simple Mills Almond Flour Pizza Dough Mix*
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil (plus more for forming)
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
*The entire box makes two 8-inch circular pizza crusts.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Whisk vinegar, olive oil, and water together in a large bowl. Add pizza dough mix and stir well until dough forms.
- Note: Dough should be soft and easy to form into crusts without crumbling. If your pizza dough crumbles, add up to 2 tablespoons additional water the dough.
- Use extra oil to coat two sheet pans, and your hands. Roll dough into two equal-sized balls. Place each ball onto oiled sheet pans.
- Form each dough ball into an 8-inch crust with raised edges (crust).
- Bake the crusts for 15 minutes without toppings until crusts are lightly golden on top.
- Remove crusts and top with toppings; follow the instructions below to finish making Buffalo Sauce Pizza with Chicken.
- Allow the extra pizza crust to cool, then wrap in parchment paper or foil, place in a freezer-safe resealable bag and freeze to use later.
