Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 5 dl (2 cups) 100% whole-grain spelt flour
- 2 dl (¾ cup) coconut flakes
- 2–2.5 dl (¾–1 cup) water (adjust based on flour texture)
- 1 tsp salt
Filling
- 500 g (17.5 oz) carrots
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 dl (⅓ cup) water
- 1 dl (⅓ cup) tomato purée
- 0.5 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Stuffing
- 5 dl (2 cups) water
- 1 dl (⅓ cup) cashew nuts or sunflower seeds
- 1 tbsp salt
- 0.5 dl (3 tbsp) coconut flakes
- 2 tbsp fiber husk (flakes) or 1 tbsp powder
- 1 tsp bell pepper powder (optional)
Instructions
Pizza Dough
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) with the fan function.
- Finely grind the coconut flakes in a blender or coffee grinder.
- Mix the ground coconut, spelt flour, salt, and water in a bowl until a dough forms.
- Sprinkle flour on a clean surface and roll the dough into a rectangle.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Prick the dough with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
- Prebake for about 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
Filling
- Grate the carrots, chop the onions, and press the garlic.
- In a large pot (about 4 liters), combine the vegetables and add the 1 dl water.
- Add dried parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
- Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the carrots soften and reduce in volume.
- The natural moisture from the carrots should be enough; no additional water is needed.
Stuffing
- In a blender, combine the water, cashews or sunflower seeds, salt, coconut flakes, fiber husk, and bell pepper powder (if using).
- Blend until thick and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the cooked carrots and mix thoroughly — this forms the topping.
Assembly
- Preheat the oven again to 200°C (390°F), fan on.
- Spread tomato purée evenly over the pre-baked dough and lightly sprinkle with salt.
- Distribute the carrot mixture evenly on top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the topping is firm and lightly golden.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Tips & Variations
- Add herbs like basil or oregano for extra flavor.
- Serve with a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
