So it was Friday night and I wanted pizza… So I get out all my flours and such and start creating a wonderful pizza crust. Well, not really. The first paleo pizza crust I made was hard and far too chewy… After some okay pizzas, I can now have a great paleo pizza!!
I still make my hubby his traditional wheat, yeast, and dairy filled pizza… My days for that pizza have been far over for quite a while. I am very happy to say that I get to enjoy my pizza just as much as he enjoys his!
You can use whatever topping that you prefer, as well as a traditional tomato based sauce or a pesto base. Both are absolutely fabulous!
Paleo Pizza Crust (Gluten Free/ Dairy Free/ Vegan/ Nut Free)
Crust:
2/3 c. tapioca or arrowroot starch
1/3 c. coconut flour
1/3 c. ground flax
1 tsp. ground basil (or Italian seasoning)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 c. water
2 Tbsp. olive oil (or desired oil)
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together tapioca, coconut flour, flax, basil, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Then add in water, oil and vinegar. Stir thoroughly. Spread batter out onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
Then remove from oven and top with tomato sauce or Pesto (not if nut free) and add your favorite pizza toppings
I also make a batch of Cashew Cream ( not if nut free) to top off my pizza.
After adding your toppings, bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Omg this pizza looks amazing! I am definitely going to give this a go. I love pizza (vegan pizza) but usually make it with a wheat flour dough. This crust is so much healthier, and will take me the same time to prepare it!
Yep, doesn’t take long at all to prepare.
This looks really good Sandi!! Pinning and sharing!
Thanks Tessa!

Oh my goodness! This sounds scrumptious, Sandi! I have made several attempts to make pizza crust and fail each time, but will definitely give this one a try. I’m curious to try the coconut flour as I haven’t really used it yet.
Thank you so much for sharing this at Healthy Vegan Fridays – this recipe is being featured this week as a fav (no surprise here!). I have also pinned this to the Pinterest Board.
Thanks so much for your continued contributions =)
Thanks so much Kimmy!
