Ingredients

• Bison ground meat - 250 grams
• Blue cornmeal - 100 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Coconut flour - 25 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Water - 150 milliliters
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Bell pepper - 1 small, diced
• Tomato sauce - 100 grams (sugar-free)
• Shredded dairy-free cheese (optional) - 50 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh basil - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine blue cornmeal, almond flour, coconut flour, egg, olive oil, and water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for a minute until smooth.
3. Roll out the dough into a circular shape on a piece of parchment paper to form the pizza base.
4. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, garlic, and onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
5. Add the bison meat to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Stir in diced bell pepper, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the pepper softens.
7. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base, then top with the cooked bison mixture.
8. Sprinkle dairy-free cheese on top if desired.
9. Transfer the pizza on the parchment to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
10. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil before slicing and serving.
