Paleo Pizza Recipe

Yield: 1 pizza
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

3 tablespoons lukewarm water
1 tablespoon Thrive Market Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Thrive Market Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 bag Thrive Market Paleo Pizza Crust Mix
1/2 cup Thrive Market Organic Tomato Sauce
Handful of dairy-free cheese
Toppings of choice (try sautéed mushrooms, roasted peppers, arugula, fresh basil, Thrive Market Organic Kalamata Olives, or Thrive Market Organic Raw Pine Nuts)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Add pizza crust mix and stir until a moist dough forms. Form the dough into a ball and transfer to a sheet of greased wax paper.

Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle, then prick it with a fork. Transfer the crust to a baking sheet and parbake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and top it with tomato sauce.

Sprinkle with your favorite toppings. Return the pie to the oven and bake at 350° for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool, slice, and serve.
