Coconut Flour Pizza Crust (thin and thick crust versions)

 

Left pictured recipe: thin crust

 

Ingredients

4 eggs

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup hemp or other milk w 1/2 tsp vinegar

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp basil

1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese

2 cloves organic garlic, minced

1/4 tsp sea salt 

 

Directions

 

Whip the eggs in a large bowl with the milk misture and sea salt.   Add the coconut flour and whip until very smooth with no lumps.    This may take a few minutes to accomplish as it takes some time for the coconut fiber to absorb the liquid.    Blend in the onion powder, oregano, basil, garlic, and parmesan cheese.

 

Line a pizza pan with parchment paper or use a cured pizza stone.   Gently pour the batter onto the paper lined pan.   Use a spatula or other kitchen utensil to spread the batter out in thin, even layer  (the thinner the better). Bake at 400F for 10 minutes.    Remove pan from oven, add homemade pizza sauce, cheese and other toppings as desired.    Place back in the oven on broil for about 8 more minutes more.

Right pictured recipe: thick crust

 

Ingredients

3 eggs

1 cup hemp or other milk

2 cloves organic garlic, minced

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp basil

1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/2 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp baking powder

 

Directions

 

Beat eggs in a medium sized bowl. Mix in milk and garlic.  Add remaining ingredients and beat into the milk mixture. The dough will be thinner in consistency then regular dough (more like a batter). Add just a bit more coconut flour if needed. The dough needs to be spreadable and thin but not extremely liquid-y like pancake batter.

Spread thinly and evenly on a pizza pan lined with greased parchment paper or on a cured pizza stone.

Bake for 12-20 minutes in preheated oven at 375. Crust is done when fully cooked through and bottom edges begin to brown.

Top your pizza with sauce and whatever else you would like. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, depending on the toppings.
