METHOD
In a large bowl, combine lemon pepper seasoning, salt, psyllium husk powder & baking powder.
Add self raising flour (gf), further combine.
Make a well in the middle of the flour mix.
Add apple cider vinegar, coconut oil & water. Stir with a spoon until semi combined.
Use your hands to combine the flour mix, creating a ball.
Place in some cling wrap & pop in the fridge. Refrigerate for an hour.
Dice brown onions. Strain beetroots, so no juice is remaining.
In a saucepan on medium heat, add coconut oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt & pepper. Add onions & beetroots, sautee for roughly 15 minutes until translucent.
Once cooked, remove from heat. Let it cool for roughly 10 minutes. Add to a high speed blender, and blend until well combined & smooth.
Preheat oven to 200c.
In a frypan, place coconut oil, kale, baby spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, curry powder, salt & pepper.
Cook on a medium heat until mushrooms have browned. Remove from heat.
Slice pumpkin & chop tomatoes. Set aside.
Remove pizza dough from the fridge. Grease a pizza baking tray with coconut oil (you can use the base of a cake tin also).
Knead pizza base straight onto your pizza tray.
Once flat, place in the oven to slightly cook for roughly 10-15 minutes. Remove.
Spread beetroot relish on the base.
Spread sautéed veggies on top of the relish, then place pumpkin pieces & tomatoes on top.
Spread crumbed goats cheese on the pizza.
Bake for 20-25 minutes (just keep an eye on it)
Serve with fresh rockett on top.
ENJOY!
