This recipe is for all my gluten-free, grain-free and vegan friends that need a quick and easy pizza crust recipe! Once you top your crust with your favourite toppings, bake your pizza in a preheated oven for about 15 minutes! Enjoy!

@@cannabisasmr8745 Totally! I just made a cassava wrap, and yes, you could make a wrap or pizza crust ahead of time and freeze them. I don't see why not! Once made, I would cool them on a wire rack (cookie rack) and then place them in a sealed container or freezer-safe bag to freeze. Freeze for 1-2 months.

What if I want to make an 18 inch pizza dough I don’t think I’d be able to fit it on the skillet I will probably have to put it in the oven but if I put it in the oven what degrees do I set it to and how long do I cook it in the oven?

[@FreshisReal]

Hi! You could probably double the recipe for an 18-inch crust. The oven temperature could be anywhere between 425-450°F. Bake for 15-20 minutes, add your toppings, then finish baking for another 12-20 minutes (until your toppings are cooked to your preference). If you have a baking stone, use it, as it will be perfect for baking a pizza crust. If you don't, bake your crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Also, don't be shy to customize the dough with herbs and spices that you like. This dough is very forgivable. If it's too thin, use a spatula to help you spread it flat or add more flour to help thicken the dough. If your dough is thicker, like playdoh, you can roll out the dough in between two sheets of parchment paper. And remember to use warm to hot warmer when mixing the ingredients; it works well for this grain-free dough. Good luck! Ps. I created a cracker recipe yesterday with similar ingredients! I can't wait to share it as it's really good, but I might keep it for my first cookbook. I'm testing another grain-free baked treat today, I hope it turns out!

Cassava flour is lectin free, I believe. If you don't consume flax on your lectin free diet, you can simply leave it out.

[@christinerutherford3462]

Which flour could I use to replace cassava

[@FreshisReal]

Hi Christine! Being that this recipe is prepared with primarily just cassava flour it's a little tricky to replace. There are many other recipes you could try to make an easy pizza crust. Are you looking for a recipe without yeast? Which GF flours do you have at home?

[@holyhex6520]

I'm going to try this recipe in a couple of hours. The only thing I will do different is not add garlic (I have sulfide issues). I will report back.

[@holyhex6520]

Sorry, not impressed, it was kind of gross and doughy. The proportions you used yielded dry dough that wouldn't hold together. I watched the video closer and you used way more than 1/2 of a cup of water. I added water and it started having a consistency similar to yours, but would still break apart. It is baking now, hopefully after baking and adding loads of cheese to it will make it better. The ingredients are expensive. I'm not happy right now.

[@holyhex6520]

Not even the cheese could save it. It was nasty. Nobody else in the house would eat it. I did so we weren't throwing out money. Not recommended.

[@FreshisReal]

@@holyhex6520 If you use warm water next time it might come together better for you. You can add more water if you want. The texture will be a little different and you might have to use a soft spatula to spread it out in your pan. You can use two sheets of parchment paper to roll out the dough too! Did you add a little oil to help with the texture? Perhaps the brand of cassava flour you have is a little different?

[@sarafeuerhahn3587]

Can cassava flour be changed in this recipe by tapioca or any other flour?? Thanks

[@FreshisReal]

Hi Sara! Well, cassava is pretty starchy but not as processed as tapioca flour. I'm not sure that I would use only tapioca flour or arrowroot starch to replace the 1 cup of cassava flour. I would be afraid of it being too gummy. Potato starch, in combination with another starch like tapioca flour or arrowroot starch with another flour like rice flour or oat flour, could work. I would still keep the warm water, flaxseed meal, salt, and oil to help bind everything together. Let us know if you try it!

Can you use chia instead of flax?

[@FreshisReal]

Yes, you could for sure! You can leave it out too, but adding a little flaxseed meal or ground chia helps the texture and adds nutrition. Are you in my baking group on Facebook?

@@FreshisReal thanks I’ll check it out. Yea there’s cassava, plantains, millet, sorghum, tiger nuts, coconut, all locally grown and cheaply available handmade fresh at the local outdoor markets because they are all used in traditional dishes. Just certain things that are not locally available and have to be imported are harder to find and expensive because of the cost of importing.

Is it possible to make this recipe oil free? This looks incredible and I would love to make it xx

I'm pretty sure it will work fine. It might make the dough a little bit crumbly, but you could add a touch more water or even plant milk to compensate. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out for you!

Fresh is Real sure! I’ll try to make it soonish haha when I have some time xxx

[@mariabenjamin8018]

If u are AIP you can use psyllium instead

[@FreshisReal]

You can but both are optional. I add some flaxseed meal for nutrition purposes. If you want to add whole psyllium, 1 tsp will be enough for this recipe. Also, it's important to use hot to boiling hot water to help bind the dough together, especially if you're not adding flax or psyllium.

[@sovereignsoulutions6612]

What if I can't have flax?

[@FreshisReal]

You can leave it out but use warm to hot water as it will help to stick the dough together better. Adding a little olive oil can help too. You could use some ground chia as a substitute or whole psyllium husk (but add less than you would with flax or chia). If you're gluten-free, not necessarily just grain-free, you can also consider adding a small amount of GF oat flour or other GF flour to the mixture.

[@sovereignsoulutions6612]

@@FreshisReal Perfect! Thank you!!!

[@sherilivingwell9112]

What could you use instead of flax?

[@FreshisReal]

Hi! For this recipe, you can leave it out and it will be fine. I like to add some for extra nutrition and it does help to bind/stick the dough a bit better. If you do want to replace the fibre with something else ground chia seeds would work too even if you just add one tablespoon or half a tablespoon of whole psyllium husk is great too. But again, if you mix the dough with warm to hot water (boiled from the kettle) the dough will come together nicely. On Instagram (instagram.com/p/Cel8ExGpxdx/) I shared a modified version of this recipe with the option of adding a little bit of another GF or grain-free flour. Here are the details: Ingredients: * 2 tablespoons golden flaxseed meal (Optional or replace with a half of a similar fibre i.e. chia, psyllium) * 1-2 tablespoons olive oil * 1 cup cassava flour * 1/2 cup of another GF flour or sourdough starter (e.i. light buckwheat*, brown rice, GF oat, sorghum, millet, chickpea*, almond*, tiger nut flour*) (optional) * 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional) * 1/4 teaspoon sea salt * 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) * Hot water to combine the dough (approx. 1/2 cup) Instructions: 1 - Preheat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or non-stick ceramic pan to medium/low. Grease if necessary to prevent sticking or use parchment paper like in the video ;) 2 - Combine and mix all the ingredients in a bowl. If 1/2 cup of hot water was not enough, add a touch more until the dough comes together nicely. With the right amount of water, you should be able to pick up the dough with your hands to roll a ball. Divide the dough into four balls or one portion for a larger pizza crust. 2 - Cook each side for a few minutes or until desired doneness. Enjoy! PLAN B: If you accidentally add too much water, don't worry. You can always use a soft spatula to spread the dough in the pan. NOTES: *Grain-free flour. Note that some people on a grain-free diet do consume buckwheat flour.

Can i use eggs instead of the flax?

[@FreshisReal]

That's a great question! All I can suggest is for you is to try it with one egg, although the flax is only added for extra texture and flavour. It works even without, so in this recipe, you don't need the flax or the egg. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out!

@@faizam5789 Hi Faiza! When you made the recipe, was your water warm (even a little hot)? That helps for sure!

Maybe try it once with the suggested measurements and then double or triple the recipe for more? It's actually quick to make a few batches one after the other because this recipe is simple. Try it with one batch then make more if necessary. Although if you do make too much, you can refrigerate and leftovers for a few days or freeze them for later ;)
