Top Tips
- Add as many variety of greens as you possibly want to the vegetarian pizza! I sometimes mix kale, spinach, and chard.
- If you have a picky eater, cover the entire top of the pizza with sauce so the crust is nowhere to be seen.
- Encourage the little ones to eat "colored pizza" for the holidays. Hence, green pizza for Christmas!

FAQ
Add more flour and knead it well. I prefer the dough to be a bit sticky, it helps keep the inside of the pizza soft and the outside crispy.
It's a high gluten dough that needs to cook at a high temperature. It makes a tasty pizza!

Green Pizza Crust
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- ¼ cup Bisquick (or anything similar)
- ¾ cup 00 flour
- ¼ cup warm and pureed, green leaf vegetable (spinach, kale, etc)
- 2 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon blended flax seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon blended chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon blended hemp seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- red chili powder (optional)

Pizza Toppings

Instructions
Knead the Dough
- Combine all of the ingredients for pizza dough and knead it into a soft dough.
- Dust more all purpose flour over the dough and then cover with a damp paper/kitchen towel.
- Let it sit in warm place for about 10 minutes.
Roll Out the Pizza
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Dust a surface with all purpose flour and roll out the dough into ¼" thick pizza crust. (I like mine thin and crispy)
- Lay the crust on a pizza pan, puncture holes with a fork, knife, or meat tenderizer to prevent rising, and bake for 5-7 minutes (will be based on thickness)
- Remove the pizza from the oven.
- Switch oven to Broil Mode.
- Layer with pizza sauce, cheese, a sprinkle of oregano, and your favorite toppings.
- Cook for an additional 7 minutes on (until cheese starts to brown a little).
- Wait a few minutes before cutting with a pizza cutter. This will help prevent the cheese from sliding off.
- ENJOY! <3
