Notes: From time to time, Cooking With CSA shares free recipes on their website. The original recipe used brown rice flour and advised to cook in a springform pan, which we don't have. So we improvised and used our eco-nonstick pan. We also made a few changes to the instructions. Now if you are expecting doughy pizza, you will be disappointed. There were some crunchies, but overall, we enjoyed it, AND it didn't fall apart.  We topped this one with raw sliced tomatoes and goat cheese. Additional toppings after it was baked: cheeze topping (coming soon!) and red pepper flakes.

Ingredients: 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp water 2 tbsp ground flaxseed 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour 1 1/2 cups cornmeal 1 cup tomato sauce (add whatever flavors you prefer, such as oregano, basil, nutritional yeast, etc.) + toppings

Instructions: 1. Lightly oil an oven proof round pan. 2. In a large bowl, combine water, flaxseed, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes. 3. After 5 minutes, add the flour and cornmeal and mix well. Knead in the bowl with your hands. 4. Spread the dough in the baking pan and form a crust going up on the sides of the pan. 5. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 13 minutes. 6. Remove pan, then add tomato sauce and toppings. 7. Bake for an additional 13 minutes. 8. Optional: Turn on the broiler on low for an additional 2 minutes.
