Healthy Pizza Crust Recipe, Indulge Without The Calories!
A traditional pizza crust recipe is often made with processed flours that Do Not break down easily in the body or intestines. In addition, baked flours tend to clog you up and make you gain weight FAST.

This raw vegan recipe is one of Ken's originals. He often doubles the batch and fills the dehydrator full so we have a bunch on stock for the next few weeks.
They are great to have around, all you need is a raw sauce and other toppings and you have a satisfying, savory meal that has the taste and textures of traditional pizza but without the unnecessary calories that may weigh you down.
Buckwheat is one of the main grains used in this crust recipe. We sprout it so it has even more nutrition that is easily assimilated. Some even say that sprouted grains rejuvenate libido and energy levels, for me I can fill it within a few hours.
We also blend in chia seeds that have an effect similar to flax seeds and bind the crust together nicely.
Pizza Crust Recipe:
4C sprouted buckwheat
2 T coconut oil
1T honey
1t salt
1/2C ground chia seed (or flax)
add water as needed
3 carrots
2T italian herbs
Sprouting the buckwheat:
You will need to sprout your buckwheat a few days in advance. Usually about 2 days. Buckwheat tends to sprout fast. You can follow the instructions on jar sprouting here. The only difference with buckwheat is that you only need to soak it for 3 hours, then strain and rinse it 3 times before sprouting. It gets kinda goopy, so you will want to rinse it till the water is thin and more clear before you sit to sprout it. Once you get it down, it is very easy.
The measurements for jar sprouting buckwheat are: 1 and 1/3 Cup dry whole buckwheat - per 1 quart mason jar
When tiny white hairs begin to pop out your buckwheat is officially sprouted!!

Mixing the pizza crust "dough" with your hands is easiest or use a utensil.
