You make it in two stages. First, you mix the crust ingredients and bake them. Once you have your crust, you can top it and return it to the oven to melt the cheese. This coconut flour pizza crust is so good! The seasonings mask the inherent sweetness of the coconut, so the result is a pleasantly savory crust that goes wonderfully with the toppings. You can top this pizza simply, with sauce and cheese, or add your favorite toppings, including pepperoni, olives, and mushrooms.
Ingredients
Recipe Card
Olive oil spray: I use it to grease the parchment-lined pizza pans. Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes, including this one. Water: To thin out the mixture. Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Coconut flour: Since it’s so extremely absorbent, it’s best to measure it by weight and not by volume. Each gram counts! Grated parmesan cheese: Make sure you use finely grated cheese and not coarsely shredded. Toppings: Pizza sauce (try to use a sugar-free sauce such as Rao’s) and shredded mozzarella.
Prepare your pans. Line two pizza pans with parchment paper circles and spray them with olive oil. You can also make these pizzas side by side on a large baking sheet, or make one large rectangular pizza. Mix the crust ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the crust ingredients in the order listed. Allow the mixture to rest and thicken for a couple of minutes. This will allow the coconut flour to soak up the liquid. Bake. Bake the crusts until set and the edges are beginning to brown, about 15 minutes in a 400°F oven. Top the pizzas. Remove the pizzas from the oven. Spread each pizza with half the pizza sauce, sprinkle it with half the shredded mozzarella, and add any other toppings you like. Return the pizzas to the oven and bake them until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Slice and serve. There’s nothing wrong with skipping toppings altogether and using just pizza sauce and cheese, as shown in the photo below.
How to Tell When the Crust is Done
When the crust is done, you should be able to gently lift it off the parchment paper with a wide spatula, as shown in the photo below. If you can’t, the crust is too wet and needs more time in the oven. If you’d like to recreate a pizza takeout experience, you can serve this pizza with baked wings or buffalo wings, fresh-cut veggies, and blue cheese dressing. You can also freeze the cooled leftovers in freezer bags for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge and reheat them in the oven.
