Cassava Flour Pizza Crust

Use this dough for pizza crust, roll into breadsticks or press into wraps!

Top with desired toppings and cheese of your choice. If you are like me and need dairy-free cheese - I like both Daiya and GoVeggie shredded cheeses.

This makes enough for two 10-inch pizzas or one 16-inch pizza. Can also make into breadsticks if desired.

Ingredients

1.5 cups cassava flour (I use Otto’s)

1 cups arrowroot flour

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

2 eggs or egg replacer (I use either gelatin eggs, Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer, or aquafaba) (flax egg would probably work, too)

1/2 cup avocado oil (plus a little extra for oiling hands if needed)

1 cup water

Italian seasoning - optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 425F and place your baking sheet(s)/pizza stone(s) inside.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl (I use my KitchenAid mixer)

Add wet ingredients and mix well.

Let dough sit for about 5 minutes to let it firm up a little.

Divide dough in half if making 2 pizzas. You may wish to oil your hands a bit if you find it sticking to you. Place the dough on parchment paper or onto greased pizza pan. Press the crust out to desired thickness and size with your hands. (I use it all and press it onto an oiled 16-inch stainless steel pizza pan.)

Place crust and parchment paper onto baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes.*

Remove from oven and add toppings. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted. You can broil it for a few minutes to help brown the cheese.

Notes:

• I do not preheat my pan and pat the crust out directly onto the oiled pizza pan. I like to bake this on the grill and when the pizza is done, slide it off the pan and grill for a couple minutes. This really gives the crust a great crispy, fire-grilled taste!!

• I have baked the crust before adding toppings, and I have just added the toppings to the uncooked dough. My pizza has turned out good both ways. The crust does get a little crispier if baked first, though.

*If you have any leftover, make breadsticks! They turn out great!
