This is a healthier option and a creative way to prepare a simple, quick, and healthy pizza.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (cooked and mashed pumpkin);
  • 1 egg;
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (or wheat flour, if preferred);
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder;
  • 1 teaspoon Brisa salt;
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil.

Toppings of your choice:

  • Tomato sauce;
  • Mozzarella cheese or another cheese of your choice;
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved;
  • Fresh basil leaves;
  • Sliced black olives.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.

  2. Prepare the pumpkin base: In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, egg, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil until you obtain a homogeneous dough.

  3. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin until it reaches the desired thickness for your pizza.

  4. Remove the top paper and place the dough on a baking tray. Place in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until the base is firm and golden.

  5. Remove the base from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it. Add the cheese, cherry tomatoes, and olives.

  6. Return the pizza to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the toppings are golden.

  7. Remove from the oven, add the fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve!

This is a delicious option for those looking for a healthier pizza with a unique twist.
