Ingredients Serving: 2

1 cup amaranth flour
1/2 cup red rice flour
1/4 cup flax seeds powder
1 tablespoon dried herbs
1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoon yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
For topping:
2 large potatoes thin sliced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper powder
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
1/4 cup low fat cheese grated
Some dried red chili flakes

Instructions

Take luke warm water in a bowl, add sugar and yeast into the water and mix well. Leave it for 10 minutes until the mixture froths up. If it does not froth, discard the mixture and start again.
In another bowl, add amaranth flour, red rice flour, flax seed powder and mix. Next add dried red chili flakes, dried herbs and salt, mix well.
Make a well in the center, add yeast mix and knead into a smooth dough. Do not add additional water, the yeast mix itself will be enough. If you find the dough too dry, add just 1 teaspoon of water at a time and knead until soft.
Let the dough sit in the bowl covered in a damp cloth for a few minutes while you can prepare the toppings.
Pre heat the oven at 180°C. To make the toppings, wash and pat dry the potatoes. Peel the skin off and slice them thin.
Grease a baking pan with olive oil, arrange the potato slices, sprinkle salt and pepper powder on top of the potatoes.
Bake potatoes at 180°C for about 5 to 8 minutes or until they are half cooked.
Lightly sprinkle some amaranth flour over a clean dry surface, transfer the dough to the surface and knead for about 3 to 5 minutes. Keep sprinkling dough till it becomes sticky and difficult to knead.
Now divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Take one part of the dough, place it on the greased baking pan and flatten to any pizza shape.
After flattening the dough, using a butter knife, very gently, try to release the dough from the baking sheet so it does not get stuck to it.
Bake in a pre heated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the base starts to brown on the edges.
Remove the base from oven, sprinkle a thin layer of fresh grated low fat cheese, arrange half baked potato slices. Sprinkle fresh herbs, dried red chili flakes.
Bake in pre heated oven at 180°C until the cheese melts.
Remove from the oven and slice them up. Serve hot with some iced tea or fresh juice. You can even serve a salad along with this pizza to make your meal more healthy.
