23. Grain Free Pizza Crust
Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- optional: 3 tablespoons Romano or Parmesan cheese (I omit for dairy-free and prefer it omitted, but my husband likes his better with it in so you pick!)
- ⅓ cup avocado oil, olive oil, or other fat of choice
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- optional: 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, add in your tapioca flour and sea salt (and cheese, if using). Set aside.
- In a small pot over medium heat, add your oil, water, apple cider vinegar and minced garlic clove.
- As it heats up and comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and add it to your tapioca flour bowl. Stir until combined. Set aside for about 2 minutes to cool.
- Once it’s not hot to the touch, add in your egg. Stir until combined.
- Add in your coconut flour (and Italian seasoning, if using) and stir until the coconut flour is absorbed and it becomes dough.
- Form the dough into a ball and press or roll out on a parchment lined or lightly greased pizza stone or baking pan. You will have enough dough to do a 12 to 14 inch circle.
- Bake 14-15 minutes or just until the crust starts to become a very light golden brown.
- Remove from oven, add your toppings and bake for 3-5 more minutes. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
I prefer my crust plain, without the optional cheese and seasoning. My husband likes his with the optional added cheese (Romano) and Italian seasoning. Try it both ways and see which one you like better! ?
