  • 12 servings Simple Mills Artisan Bread 1 box of bread-mix
  • 4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Ground Flaxseed (for flax eggs)
  • 6 tbsp Water (to make the flax eggs)
  • 2 tbsp Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar

  • 2 cups Broccoli
  • 20 Kalamata Olives
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (mix with BBQ sauce for dressing)
  • 2 tbsp KC Natural - Paleo AIP Mastodon Barbecue Sauce (mix with EVOO for dressing)
Side
  • ½ Pineapple Chopped, side

Equipment

  • mixing bowl, measuring cups and spoons, baking sheet, oven, knife, spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to regular bake at 350°F.
    Then, set up your steamer for cooking the broccoli before you make the dough:
    In a steamer or pot with a steamer insert, add 1" of water. Bring the water to a slow boil over medium-high heat while you make your dough.
Pizza Dough
  1. Make the dough per "Simple Mills Artisan Bread" instructions for the FLAT BREAD. (we included the necessary dough ingredients above)
    *You'll need to let the dough sit for 4 minutes, so feel free to cook your broccoli while it sets.
Toppings
  1. To the steamer, add your broccoli florets. If using raw broccoli, we recommend cutting into smaller pieces before cooking. Cook on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, then chop the broccoli into smaller pieces.
  2. While the broccoli is cooking, slice the kalamata olives (or favorite olives) in half or thirds, to your liking.
Building the Pizza
  1. Place the dough on a greased cookie sheet, or on non-stick baking mat or on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Roll out a rectangle-ish shape.
  2. Brush the top with the olive oil - BBQ sauce mixture. Add the chopped cooked broccoli and olives.
  3. Bake per package instructions (about 20 minutes). Let cool briefly and serve it up!
Side
  1. Chop the Pineapple to your liking, serve it as a side.

Programming Notes:
  • YES! This recipe is Paleo, Wheat & Gluten Free, Lactose & Dairy Free, and Vegan. 
  • The "Sugar" on the nutrition facts label is from the pineapple. No added sugars here.
  • The cost per plate is higher because we are saving time using a pre-made paleo dough mix.
  • Feel free to substitute your favorite pizza veggies. Broccoli is a great "cost-per-Calorie" veggie.
  • About 40% of the calories in this meal comes from healthy fats: olive oil and nuts. This is reflective of the Mediterranean diet that incorporates healthy fats as a large portion of the calories.
*This refers to the monthly grocery bill if TWO PEOPLE ate cumulatively 4,000 Calories per day, and only ate this meal all month long. If you’re running calculations for one person, divide “monthly cost” in half.
