Amazing Paleo Pizza Crust - vegan, autoimmune paleo & cauliflower free
A Paleo Pizza Crust that is vegan and autoimmune paleo friendly. Plus it's cauliflower-free! A great alternative to normal gluten free pizza crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups yuca peeled, cut into large pieces, boiled until fork tender, drained, mashed
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil (or coconut oil)
- 2 heaping tablespoons palm shortening
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour (See Special Diet / Substitution Notes for alternatives)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- dried herbs (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place all ingredients (except for coconut flour) in a food processor or Vitamix (or other high speed blender).
- Process until a dough is formed.
- Empty dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
- Add in coconut flour.
- Allow dough to cool completely then divide into 2 pieces (for two crusts) or keep as one large crust.
- Roll out dough to create a crust (or 2) that is about ½ inch thick or less.
- Bake for 15-20 on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or until nicely browned).
- Remove from oven and turn crust(s) over and continue baking until the reverse side is browned.
Notes
- Both sides of the crust should be crisped and browned. Keep sauce and any other “wet” ingredients to a bare minimum (or consider dipping instead of making a typical pizza) as yuca dough can become soggy easily when overloaded with moisture. A crispy crust will help prevent this to a degree, but still keep this in mind.
- For dried herbs, oregano, basil, and even onion would be great choices.
