Instructions

Nomato Sauce:

1. Drizzle beets and carrots with oil, season with salt and pepper.
2. Cut off the tops of the garlic heads, drizzle with oil, and wrap in aluminum foil.
3. Roast veggies and garlic in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes.
4. Cut bacon into small pieces and fry in a large skillet until well cooked and crispy.
5. Remove bacon from the pan and add to the pressure cooker pot. Leave the remaining fat in the skillet.
6. Add the diced onions to the skillet with the bacon fat.
7. Cook on medium heat until well caramelized.
8. Add the onions, garlic, beets, carrots, mushrooms, pumpkin puree, bone broth, and salt and pepper to the pressure cooker pot.
9. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes, allow to natural release.
10. Once veggies are cooked through, make sure the liquid level is about even with the veggies. If they’re freely floating in a lot of liquid boil the liquid down on high.
11. Add a handful of Italian herbs and more salt/ pepper if needed.
12. Squeeze in juice of one lemon, add more lemon juice if the sauce needs more acidity/ brightened.
13. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth.

The nomato sauce recipe works best with an Instant Pot pressure cooker, 8 quart size.
If using a stovetop pressure cooker you may need to add more liquid.
This is a large recipe and makes a little over 3 quarts of sauce.
It can easily be halved but freezes incredibly well so I prefer to make a full batch.

Pizza Crust:

1. Whisk together the dry ingredients.
2. Make a well in the center and add the water and oil.
3. Combine together and knead into a dough.
4. Add water a bit at a time if the dough is cracking, add a dusting of cassava flour if the dough is wet/ sticky.
5. Roll out into a thin round, 1/8-1/4″ thick.
6. Bake in oven, on a baking sheet or pizza pan, at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes, until it holds it’s shape and is lightly golden brown.

This makes a small pizza but the dough doesn’t do well doubled.
If you would like to make more servings it’s best to make the dough multiple times.

Pizza Assembly:

1. Evenly spread the sauce from edge to edge on the crust.
2. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly across the crust.
3. Sprinkle the bacon on evenly across the crust.
4. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees until the cheese is completely melted and begins to brown/ bubble.

This can be made with regular sauce, of course, but this is a nightshade free pizza.
This is not a dairy free pizza but it contains no cow’s milk cheeses.
