Ingredients

  • 240 grams buckwheat flour approx. 2 cups
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ cup water filtered

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C) and line a 9 inch round pizza tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Add the flour, salt and water to a large bowl and mix with your hands until combined. Then tip out the dough to a clean surface that has been lightly floured.
  3. Knead the dough, using your hands until you have a somewhat smooth ball. At this point, adjust the water or flour if needed. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour and knead it in. If the dough is too dry and not holding together, add a teaspoon of water at a time until you have a playdough consistency.
  4. Now place the ball of dough on the sheet of parchment paper you set aside earlier on a flat surface, like a kitchen countertop. Use a floured rolling pin to stretch the dough to the edges of the parchment paper. Then slide the parchment back onto your pizza pan.
  5. Bake the buckwheat pizza crust for 5-6 minutes and remove it from the oven. Then remove the parchment paper (for a crispier crust), top your pizza as desired, and bake an additional 2-4 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Weigh your flour for the most accurate results. Scooping flour from a bag will often result in extra flour being used.
  • Adjust the water and/or flour, as needed. The dough shouldn't be too sticky, nor too dry. You want a playdough consistency that is only slightly sticky.
  • Roll the dough on the parchment paper to make it easy to transfer to your pizza pan, without breaking the crust.
  • Remove the parchment paper after the first bake for a crispier crust.
