The recipe looked pretty simple to make, and didn't require any special ingredients, so I decided to give it a go. Now, this was my first attempt at making a pizza from scratch, as I've always been a bit lazy, and normally would just use a pre-made pizza base from the supermarket. Fortunately, this recipe is dead easy to make.
The actual pizza wasn't completely primal, as I cheated a bit, and used barbecue sauce, rather than tomato paste, but I figured that two or three spoonfuls of barbecue sauce wasn't going to be too bad for me. Rather than simmering the sauce, I simply watered down the barbecue sauce until it was at a nice consistency, and then mixed in some Italian Herb mix. Two or three dessert spoonfuls of the sauce covered the pizza quite well.
On top of the sauce I added a thin layer of cheese, followed by pepperoni (another non-primal ring-in that I couldn't resist), ham, crispy bacon, mushrooms capsicum and another thin layer of cheese. I think that in future, to make the pizza truly primal, I'll stick to a tomato sauce, and leave of the pepperoni, but I'll have to add some chillies, and some other spices to the sauce to add some zing.
Having topped the pizza, it went back into the oven until the cheese started to brown nicely. The end result looked fantastic, and smelled amazing. The taste was as good as it looked and smelled.
The recipe is supposed to feed four, and I have to admit, I didn't think it would. The plan was to have half of the pizza tonight, and save the other half for tomorrow's lunch. Sadly, the pizza didn't survive tea tonight, so I was forced to make a second one for lunch tomorrow (it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it).
