Instructions
Crust

- Add psyllium husks and blend for another minute until it all starts to stick together due to its binding properties, so you can easily form any shape you want.
- Use a spoon or lightly oil your hands to shape the crust into your desired size.
- You can make one big pizza crust or a few smaller ones.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Cashew spread

- Topping
- Once the crust is out of the oven, let it cool down a bit.
- Top it with cashew spread and vegetables: zucchini slices, cucumber slices, roasted blue potato slices (if available), figs, peas, corn, red cabbage, basil...
