Serves 12 (one roll each)
Ingredients

Dough

  • [q:1/2] cup flaxseeds
  • 1 cup almonds or pecans
  • [q:1/4] cup raw agave nectar*

Filling

  • 1 cup dried figs, stemmed and diced (about 10 figs)
  • [q:1/4] cup water

  • [q:3/4] tsp ground cardamom
  • [q:1/4] tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp raisins (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

  2. Add the agave and process into a workable dough, adding a touch of water, if needed.
  3. Remove the dough and place between 2 large sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten into a large square. Peel off the top layer of paper and set the dough aside.

Make the Filling

  1. In a clean food processor, puree the figs, water, cinnamon, cardamom and salt into a thick paste. Spread the mixture evenly over your dough and sprinkle with raisins and chopped nuts, if desired.

Make the Rolls

  1. Next, roll the dough into a tight cylinder, as if you were making sushi, using the parchment paper as the mat.
  2. Place your roll in the freezer to set for about half an hour, then remove and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  3. Store the rolls in a glass container in the freezer. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Prep Time
35 min
Number of Servings
makes 4 pizzas
Ingredients

Flatbreads

  • [q:1 1/2] cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • [q:3/4] cup water
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Pizza Toppings

  • [q:1/2] cup pizza sauce
  • 8 slices (16 oz) fresh mozzarella, broken into [q:1/2]-inch pieces
  • [q:1/2] cup basil, chopped chiffonade-style
  • Dried oregano (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions

To Make Flatbreads

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour and water and mix until mixture has a dough-like texture. It will be sticky.
  2. With floured hands, split dough into 4 equal parts and place on a well-floured surface, sprinkling additional flour on top of each piece of dough. With a rolling pin, roll out each piece into a flat disk. Add more flour to surface if needed to keep it from sticking. The dough should be about N-inch thick. The shape does not need to be perfect.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°.
  4. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add about [q:1/2] teaspoon of the oil. Add first flatbread and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until lightly toasted and dough is cooked through. Cook remaining flatbreads, adding [q:1/2] teaspoon of oil to skillet each time. (You can make flatbreads ahead of time; they will keep for a few days in the fridge and 1 month in the freezer. Layer them between sheets of wax or parchment paper if you freeze them.)

To Assemble Pizzas

  1. Place flatbreads on a baking sheet.
  2. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce to each. Top with mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and a sprinkle of oregano and red pepper flakes.
  3. Bake for 8 minutes and serve warm.
