Cassava Pizza Dough
Gluten free cassava pizza crust is very easy to make and it will definitely stand out from your other gluten free pizza recipes.
Equipment
- 1 cast iron pan or use pizza stone/sheet pan
- 1 Rolling Pin or you can also use your hands to shaping
Ingredients
- 126 grams (¾ cup) cassava flour very finely ground
- 58 grams (½ cup) tapioca starch same as tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg see post for substitute ideas
- ¼ cup olive oil or any other oil
- ½ cup water add water ¼ cup at a time and see if the dough needs more
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. It is best to let the oven heat for30-40 minutes at least!
- Mix all the dry ingredients, then do the same with the wetingredients in a separate bowl. If you are using an egg substitute,now is the time to add the baking soda and apple cider vinegar! Bringall the ingredients together and mix them with your hand. Cover thebowl and let the dough rest for at least 5 minutes. Once the doughrested, it will become firmer.
- Press the dough in between two pieces of parchment paper. Don’t tryto roll this dough out! You will not be able to transfer it as it isvery fragile. If you don’t have parchment paper just shape thedough straight on the pizza stone or the cast iron pan (or a sheetpan if that is what you are using). Transfer the bottom parchmentpaper and the pizza crust onto the cast iron pan/pizza stone/sheetpan and pop it into the oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the pizza crust from the oven and add your toppings then return to the oven and set to broil until the cheese is melted! Thisstep should take about 5 minutes. Let the pizza cool for 5-10 minutesand enjoy! If you would like to make 2 pizzas just double the recipeand separate the dough into 2 balls at the shaping stage.
Notes
- There are different types of cassava flours. If yours is not super finely ground you will need way less water than is indicated in the recipe. To be on the safe side, add the water ¼ cup at a time and keep in mind that the flour will tighten up a bit after 5-10 minutes!
- Warm up the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking for best results!
- To create a perfectly round pizza crust use a knife to cut out the circle in the dough after squeezing it in between paper and use the leftover dough to for the frame of the crust.
- To make a richer crust use broth in place of water!
