Description
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Whisk the Liquid Base
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the kefir (or Greek yogurt) and the extra virgin olive oil. Add a pinch of sea salt and whisk together with a fork or a small hand whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and emulsified.
-
Form the Quick Pizza Batter
Gently fold the 100% buckwheat flour and the baking powder into your liquid base. Stir the mixture thoroughly using a spoon or a spatula. You will end up with a thick, smooth, and spreadable batter rather than a traditional stiff dough. If the mixture feels a bit too runny, incorporate another tablespoon of buckwheat flour until it holds a thick, scoopable consistency.
-
Spread and Shape the Crust
Line a pizza pan or a large baking sheet with high-quality parchment paper. Lightly brush the paper with a tiny drop of olive oil. Pour the buckwheat batter directly onto the center of the pan. Using the back of a spoon or a damp spatula, gently press and spread the batter outward from the center into a neat, even circle (about 0.5 cm thick).
-
Pre-Baking the Crust
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Slide the bare crust into the oven and bake it on its own for about 10–12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden and the surface feels firm to the touch. Note: Pre-baking ensures your buckwheat base stays perfectly crisp and doesn't get soggy once you add the moist toppings.
-
Top and Final Bake
Remove the par-baked crust from the oven. Slather it with your favorite clean tomato sauce (no added sugars), and layer your compliant toppings of choice (such as fresh vegetables, mushrooms, lean meats, or low-fat cheeses depending on your current protocol). Return the topped pizza to the oven for an additional 10–15 minutes until the toppings are cooked to perfection.
Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!
