Go ahead and grab the ingredients below (Claire and Laurel starts listing them at 5:20) before starting the episode.Margherita Pizzamakes one 10-inch pizzaPizza Dough (below)1/4 cup Sicilian Tomato Sauce (below) or store-bought1 cup 1 1/2-inch cubes Dairy-Free Mozzarella (below) or store-boughtFresh basil, for garnishPreheat the oven to 500°F. If you have a pizza stone, place it directly on the oven rack while it preheats. If not, place an inverted baking sheet on the oven rack while the oven preheats. The baking sheet will get very hot and provide a crispy bottom crust.On a counter, place the dough on a sheet of parchment, cover with another piece of parchment paper, and gently roll out into a large circle, about 10 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Using your fingers, pinch the edge of the pizza dough into a small lip. Spread the sauce over the pizza dough, but not the lip, and sprinkle with the mozzarella and fresh basil. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the dough is deep golden brown at the edges.Pizza Doughmakes one 10-inch crust1 1/2 cups almond flour1 cup arrowroot powder, plus more for dusting1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt1/4 cup coconut yogurt, homemade (see page 26) or store-bought1/2 cup unsweetened almond milkIn a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot, and salt.
