My verdict is that the texture was great - it was a nice thin crust that you could lift piece by piece, and the taste was, well, coconut-y. No big surprise. I didn't mind it much though, and would make this again. If I was a garlic eater, I would add some garlic salt/powder into the crust to mask the coconut flavor. I initially was a little worried the pizza would be too dry - coconut flour is dry and dense, and without cheese it might be more so - but drizzling olive oil over the top solved that problem. It turned out very tasty.
Flipped over crust on parchment |
3 eggs
1/3 to 1/2 cup coconut flour
2 tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. oregano
1 T olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Start with about 1/3 c coconut flour, and add more depending on final consistency - brands vary so much that this will help achieve the best result.
2. I spread the dough on a piece of parchment, though I contemplated going directly on a pizza stone. You will need to flip the crust once, but it didn't seem to want to stick. I recommend spreading on parchment, or on a metal cooking sheet. Try directly on a pizza stone if you are feeling adventurous! Spread dough pretty thin, and bake for about 10-15 minutes, until brown.
4. Let it cool a minute, slice and eat up!
As I said, my toppings were pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, red pepper, and thinly sliced onion. They went on top of a thin layer of tomato sauce sprinkled with red pepper flakes, salt and oregano. Then the whole pizza was drizzled with olive oil and baked. It tasted great.
