Warning: Raw Foodies can have pizza too. But please plan your craving ahead of time and this recipe does require a dehydrator. And depending on how much time and resources, you can choose from the gourmet crust or a much easier creation.

LET’S START MAKIN’ THIS PIZZA!:
For Crust:
Combine all ingredients in food processor until well blended and smooth.
Remove from food processor and place on a teflex sheet on top of a a mesh dehydrator sheet.
Smooth crust into 1/4 inch thick round pizza dough (lip for crust and all).
Dehydrate crust for 2 hours at 105 degrees then flip over, removing the teflex sheet and dehydrate for a few more hours until firm, but not crispy.
For Sauce & Cheese:
Place all ingredients for the tomato sauce in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl for later.
Do the same for the cheese.
To Assemble:
Remove crust from dehydrator and flip the crust back onto its original side before topping so that you have the thick outer crust that you molded facing upward.
Spread cheese sauce over the pizza crust (leaving space near the edge of the crust)
Pour marinara sauce over the cheese sauce.
Top with your favorite toppings
Place pizza back in the dehydrator for another 6-10 hours depending on desired texture* (optional).
Sprinkle some fresh olive oil on top and enjoy!
* Recommended for a more traditional taste, but if you don’t have the time, it’s also appropriate to simply place raw veggies on top of the pizza and enjoy as is.
