Grain Free Thin Crust Pizza Dough
SERVES: 2 (4 small 8" individual crusts)If you follow me on Instagram, you know that Friday night is pizza night at our house! Through lots of experimentation, I have created a paleo pizza crust that we all love. Imagine our delight when we confirmed that my pizza crust recipe produces a level glucose response too! Ingredient swaps have been key to regaining our health and making family favorites healthier. There are some unconventional ingredients in this pizza crust recipe but it is the closest thing to a real thin crust pizza that I have come up with. We have been using and enjoying this recipe for years now and I hope it becomes and favorite in your house too!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup arrowroot to make this recipe higher in protein and fiber, use 1/2 arrowroot + 1/2 lupin flour instead of all arrowroot
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp sea salt, optional
- 1 cup cashew yogurt coconut yogurt, full fat greek yogurt or goat yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500℉.
- Place all the ingredients into a food processor, or a large bowl. Mix until well combined and no clumps of flour remain.
- Spoon 3 heaping tablespoons (about 1/2 cup) of dough mixture onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Parchment paper is an essential ingredient! The dough will be more batter-like in texture than a typical pizza dough. Do not worry! it is supposed to be this way.
- Dust hands with a generous amount of arrowroot, and sprinkle a bit on top of the dough before flattening the dough into a pizza crust shape with your hands. Add more arrowroot as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers.
- When the crusts have been flattened to the desired thickness and shape they are ready for toppings! We love a traditional red sauce or pesto, then shredded goat or sheep cheese. Some of us like veggies and some of us like sausage and onion or uncured pepperoni.
- Bake in the oven until top is light golden brown, or until the crust is firm and cooked through- about 15-20 minutes.
