Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed yuca (peeled, cut into large pieces, boiled until fork tender, drained)
  • 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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Place all ingredients (except for coconut flour) in a food processor or Vitamix (or other high speed blender).
  3. Process until a dough is formed.
  4. Empty dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
  5. Add in coconut flour.
  6. Allow dough to cool completely then divide into 2 pieces (for two crusts) or keep as one large crust.
  7. Roll out dough to create a crust (or 2) that is about ½ inch thick or less.
  8. Bake for 15-20 on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or until nicely browned).
  9. 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.
