For the base

500g (approx 3c) buckwheat, sprouted for a few days until it has a small ‘tail’
2 avocados or 1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil
3 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium tomatoes

- Grind all ingredients in a food processor until you have a paste consistency.

- Spread onto a Paraflexx sheet in a circle and dehydrate for a few hours or until you are able to turn it upside down onto another dehydrator tray and peel off the plastic Paraflexx sheet.

- Dehydrate for another 8 to 10 hours or until base is dry enough to hold together.

For the caramelised onions

5 large onions, sliced thinly (use a mandoline if you have one)
1 cup soft dates
3 tablespoons tamari
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup water

- Blend all ingredients except the onions in a high-speed blender, until smooth.

- In a bowl, hand-mix the date mixture with the onions until they are thoroughly covered.

- Dehydrate on a Paraflexx sheet for 2 to 3 hours, so they soften and take on a cooked appearance.

For the pesto

2 cups basil
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice

- Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until broken down, but leaving some texture to the finished pesto.

For the tomato sauce

10 basil leaves
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup tomatoes
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 of a medium onion
1 soft date

- Blend all ingredients in a high-power blender until smooth.

For the cheese

1 cup macadamias
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

- Grind all ingredients in a food processor until you have a fluffy consistency.

To serve, spread the tomato sauce onto the base then sprinkle the pesto, macadamia cheese and caramelised onions evenly to produce a beautiful layered and textured pizza.

    You should be able to get dry buckwheat at a grocery store – if not you can get it at a health food store.

    It’s really easy to sprout – there’s plenty of Youtube videos on that, and I’ve written instructions in response to someone else’s comment below.

    I can usually only eat 1 or 2 slices at the most.

    i know this has been asked a lot but I’m not allowed any kind of wheat for health reasons or yeast or flour is there a substitute for it?
