Pizza with Flatbread - Pizza Crust, Pizza Sauce, Almond Cheeze and toppings.

My favorite toppings are black olives, red pepper, green onion and pineapple.

Pizza Crust recipe under dehydrated section

Pizza Sauce

• 1 c sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 roma tomatoes
• ¼ red pepper
• 2 T onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 4 large basil leaves (or 1t dried)
• 1½ t oregano
• 1 t salt
• ½ t each marjoram, thyme and cayenne

Blend all ingredients together in K-tec or puree in food processor.

Almond Cheeze

• 2 c almonds
• 2 T miso
• 1 garlic clove
• 1" ginger
• Dash chili powder and cayenne

Process nuts in food processor or K-tec until quite fine. Add miso and 1 c water and blend to mix. Transfer to sterilized glass bottle and cover mixture with tepid water. Cover jar with a mesh screen or cheesecloth and elastic, so mixture can breathe. Set bottle in a warm place and allow to ferment for 10-12 hours. At this time it will likely have separated and have little bubbles in it. If not, it may not have been arm enough or had enough bacterial culture in the miso, but it will still taste great. Continue and strain the whey, the liquid part from the cheese, in a mesh nut bag or in cheesecloth. Let drain and gently squeeze out the liquid then transfer to a bowl. Finely chop garlic and ginger and add these and rest of ingredients. Mix well. Can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
