    This Gluten-Free Pizza Crust is crispy at the edges, sturdy enough to hold all the toppings!  The challenge of finding a vegan, grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free pizza crust is over.

    This is one of my favorite doughs to work with.  It isn’t too sticky and rolls out beautifully into whatever shape you desire. 

    An alternative to using a rolling pin is to mix and mold it with your hands into the desired shape.

    Pro Tip:  This dough can be made ahead.  Just make a batch (or two) and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to use.  

    Ingredients:

    • Finely blanched almond flour
    • Tapioca flour
    • Coconut flour
    • Olive oil
    • Flax egg
    • Dairy-free milk
    • Sea salt

    Making Your Paleo Pizza Dough:

    1. Gather the ingredients – almond flour, tapioca flour, olive oil, coconut flour, flax egg, almond milk, and a pinch of salt.
    2.  In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk together, taking the time to smooth out any lumps.
    3. Add the wet ingredients (flax egg (see below for how to make), olive oil, almond milk,  and use a spoon or your hands to combine the ingredients.

    4.  Form paleo pizza dough into a smooth ball.

    5. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.  Or if using a rolling pin, a parchment-lined surface.

    6.  Roll the dough (or shape with hands), into a round, 8″ diameter, pizza shape.

    7.  Bake the pizza dough in a 400 degree F oven for about 10 minutes.

    8. Remove from oven and add sauces and/or toppings.  Combine this pizza with homemade paleo pizza sauce (Zesty Multi-Purpose Pizza Sauce)!  

    I have topped this paleo pizza with mushrooms and some dairy-free vegan cheese.

    9.  Place back in the oven for about 10 more minutes, until edges are lightly brown and crispy.  Once out of the oven, I added additional toppings: sliced grape tomatoes and arugula.

    10.  Slice using a pizza cutter (my favorite way).

    11.  Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and heated up later.

    Pizza Crust Tips:

    • Do not roll the dough too thick (or the dough will be chewy) or too thin (could burn easily).
    • Use room temperature ingredients if possible.
    • May substitute a regular-sized chicken egg for the flax egg.  The recipe will not be vegan if you do.
    • Have all toppings and sauces prepared and ready ahead of time.

    How To Make A Flax Egg:

    1. Add one tablespoon of ground flaxseed to a small bowl.  I prefer organic golden flaxseed and grind myself using a coffee grinder that I use only for this and herbs.
    2. Add three tablespoons of water and mix with a spoon or use a small whisk.
    3. Let stand ten minutes and use it in the recipe.

    Note:  the consistency of the flax egg should resemble a real egg.  One large chicken egg may be substituted for the flax egg in the recipe.

    Author: Christine Galvani
    Ingredients
    • 1 cup blanched almond flour
    • 1 cup tapioca flour/starch
    • 1/2 cup coconut flour
    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil - melted (sub-coconut oil)
    • 2 flax egg
    • 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
    • 1/4 teaspoon pinch fine sea salt
    Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    2. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the almond flour, tapioca flour/starch, and coconut flour. Whisk to combine and remove all lumps.
    4. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine. The dough will be easy to handle and not sticky.  Mix with a spoon or your hands.

    5. Roll dough between two pieces of parchment paper, into your desired shape. Or shape with your hands.  I usually make an 8 inch round, but there are many options.

    6. Bake the dough for about 10 minutes until it starts to harden and slightly brown. Take out of the oven and spread sauce and toppings and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven, slice and enjoy!

      Can you make the dough ahead of time and freeze it?
