  • Coconut Flour Pizza Crust Recipe

coconut flour pizza crustI’ve been using both store bought and homemade coconut flour for years. Until very recently, however, I had never tried making it into a coconut flour pizza crust! I held off for so long because of the natural sweetness of coconut flour. I just didn’t think it would work very well in a savory dish.

This changed when I read a post on Food Renegade which featured a recipe  for mini pizzas made with coconut flour.

I was inspired!  I decided to try out that recipe that very night for dinner and even left a comment to that effect.

Problem was, when dinner rolled around, I only had a very few minutes to whip something up (can any of you relate to this?).

The coconut flour pizza crust recipe I had planned to follow called for frying up the mini pizza crusts in a pan, and I simply didn’t have the time to babysit those little critters. To compensate for my lack of time, I came up with another method and added a bunch of herbs to the batter to mask the natural sweetness of  the coconut flour.

It worked!  Best of all, this pizza is so filling compared with pizza made with wheat. I could only eat one slice and we ended up with a lot of pizza leftovers for lunch the next day!

Here’s the recipe and method of preparation I came up with that has turned out to be one of our favorite meals of late.  Many thanks to Kristin and Cara for the inspiration for this recipe.

What Makes a Healthy Pizza Crust?

Whole food ingredients are where it’s at when you make pizza crusts no matter which flour you choose. Remember, not only are you using real food to make your pizza crust at home, but you are avoiding the toxic packaging that the processed pizza crusts come in. Even if the ingredients are organic, the packaging likely contains more than its share of chemicals that can get into that refrigerated dough or plastic wrapped crusts. Most people never consider the packaging as something to be avoided and one of the huge benefits of homemade pizza!

Coconut Flour Pizza Crust

Easy coconut flour pizza crust that will delight both your grain eating and Paleo friends.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 2 8 inch pizzas
Author Sarah Pope

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs preferably pastured or free range
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup Plain, whole milk yogurt
  • 1 tsp onion powder preferably organic
  • 1 tsp dried oregano preferably organic
  • 1 tsp dried basil preferably organic
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Whip the eggs in a large bowl with the yogurt and sea salt. Add the coconut flour and whip until very smooth with no lumps. This may take a few minutes to accomplish as it takes some time for the coconut fiber to absorb the liquid. Blend in the onion powder, oregano, basil, garlic, and parmesan cheese.


  2. Line a pizza pan with parchment paper. Gently pour about 1/2 the batter onto the paper lined pan. Use a spatula or other kitchen utensil to spread the batter into an 8-9" circle that is quite thin (the thinner the better).

  3. Bake at 400F for 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven, add easy pizza sauce, cheese and other toppings as desired. Place back in the oven on broil for about 8 minutes more.

  4. Repeat this process with the remaining half of the coconut flour batter.

    Is the mixture meant to be runny?

      Yes, it is a bit runny compared with dough for grain based pizza crust. It solidifies nicely when baked.

    I would like to try this recipe but I can’t eat eggs or dairy. Can you suggest any substitutions or am I out of luck with this recipe? Thank you.

    I tried it for the first time but I didn’t like the sweeter taste of the crust. Maybe I need to add more seasoning

    Do you think egg whites would work, or think the yolks are necessary for the integrity of the dough?

      You need the whole egg.

    I made this pizza crust and it’s excellent. I can’t even taste the coconut flour, it’s not soggy, and it was a perfect complement to all the toppings. I also loved the fact that I didn’t have to roll out the dough or use special equipment. Thank you for making my gaps journey so much more doable and enjoyable.

    I decided to give this a try. I am on Keto diet so I changed the Yogurt to Heavy Cream, yogurt has way to many carbs, I also only used 2 whole eggs, and 2 yolks only, because of protein needs to be lower on Keto diet as well. It was thicker more like a dough, but next time I will add tbsp of Coconut Oil to help finished crust have less dry taste. If need be add another tbsp Coc Oil.

    Delicious, added a little bit more flour, seemed runny. Used coconut yogurt. Used Penzey’s Pizza Spice. Cooked zucchini, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, garlic and tomatoes in olive oil while crust was cooking. Cooked crusts for 12 minutes. Sprinkled on a little shredded cheese. Came out great, held together, true they are omelet like, but seasonings and toppings definitely make it pizza.
