Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup rolled oats ground into a flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 ¼ cups sweet potato cooked and mashed
- ½ cup tapioca starch or arrowroot powder
- ½ cup flax meal
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Sauce
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp basil
- ¼ tsp thyme
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp tamari low sodium
- ⅓ cup water
Cheese
- ½ cup cashews
- 1 tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp tamari low sodium
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ⅓ cup water
Toppings
- 12 slices my pepperoni recipe
- 3 mushrooms sliced very thin
- 3 tbsp olives sliced, kalamata or black olives
- 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes chopped into small pieces
Instructions
Dough
- Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork and then mash together with your hands, similar to making a pie crust dough.
Sauce
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk together.
Cheese
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Assembly
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roll out half of the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper until you have a rectangle that measures around 12 inches long by 8 inches wide.
- Make one cut dividing the dough lengthwise in half. Then make 2 cuts dividing the two halves into 3 equal sections.
- Spoon sauce onto 3 of the sections being sure to leave at least 1/4 inch of the edges clean.
- Layer on the pepperoni and olives. Then spoon on some of the cheese. Lay the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes on top.
- Carefully place the remaining three sections on top of the sections with the filling and gently crimp the edges together using a fork.
- Place them onto a parchment lined baking tray and finish assembling the remaining dough into 3 more pockets.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Turn the oven temperature to broil and carefully watch the pockets until they reach the desired brownness.
- Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Pizza! Pizza! Pizza! I can’t wait to make these, they look so fun!
Can the oat flour be replaced with another kind of flour? I can’t tolerate oats.
You can make them with all almond flour. Not sure about any other flours that will work, sorry
Can I use cornstarch in the dough instead of tapioca?
Yes
These turned out so amazing!! So perfect in my lunches this past weekend!
Thank you so much ?
