Herbed Gluten Free Coconut Flour Pizza Crust slice with toppings

Prepared by Sarah Shilhavy, Photos by Jeremiah Shilhavy

Servings: 1 small pizza
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

3 eggs
1 clove garlic, crushed or minced
1 cup whole milk or coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Beat eggs in a medium sized bowl. Mix in milk and garlic.

Add remaining ingredients and beat into the milk mixture. The dough will be thinner in consistency then regular dough (more like a batter). Add just a bit more coconut flour if needed. The dough needs to be spreadable and thin but not extremely liquid-y like pancake batter.

Spread thinly and evenly on a pizza pan or cookie sheet lined with greased parchment paper (parchment paper is a must require!! This sticks terribly!).

Bake for 12-20 minutes in preheated oven. Crust is done when fully cooked through and bottom edges begin to brown.

Remove crust from oven and turn over. Carefully peel parchment paper from the bottom of the crust and place crust back on parchment paper with the bottom side up.

Top your pizza with sauce and whatever else you would like. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, depending on the toppings.

I absolutely love Pizza, so this Coconut Flour Pizza recipe is definitely bookmarked!

I dehydrated the finished baked product to turn it into chips!! I divided the crust into two, baked them according to directions then cut them w/ a pizza cutter and placed them in my dehydrator overnight at 135 degrees. They were crisp, wonderful and ready to be dunked in salsa for the superbowl!!

Thank you very much Jennifer!!!!!!
I was missing pizza for 4 years being grain free. Your recipe rocked my world. It's delicious!!! I'm eating while typing with smile on my face.

This is a really decent gluten free pizza crust. Much better tasting than Pizzeria Uno's pizza crust.

Do you think that this can be frozen after the initial baking, before toppings are put on?

I can't wait to try this recipe once I get some coconut flour. I will post a comment with my results once I make it.

Yes, I'm sure it would freeze well.

I have two of these in the oven right now, they smell great! I added about 1/4 cup of flax meal and it made it a nice dough texture.

Can you make this on the stove top with a flat pan? My oven has been out of order, and I for now I've been making regular pizza dough, but having to cook it stovetop. It's not the same, at all (much denser) however it worked. Do you think that will work with this? Thanks

Probably; coconut flour just burns easily sometimes so keep an eye on it.

Ok, just tried it - flavor GREAT!!! But DO NOT use Wax paper!! First - it makes LOTS of smoke to set off sensitive smoke detectors in your home :) Second... couldn't use the crust cuz it stuck to the wax paper even greased waxed paper!!! Just FYI!

# Posted By Alicia | 1/10/11 12:08 PM

Alicia: You should only use parchment paper for baking, as the recipe calls for. Wax paper, as you mentioned, will burn and doesn't help with sticking issues at all. So, only use parchment paper and you'll have no problems. :)

Super good! I followed recipe (using lt coconut milk) and baked in well greased cast iron skillet... perfect! No sticking and no need for parchment paper.

Can you use plain water for the milk/coconut milk?

# Posted By Rebecca | 4/21/11 9:23 PM

Rebecca: Water should work.

# Posted By Sarah:) | 4/21/11 10:22 PM

I don't east dairy products, is there anything that you know of that can be used to substitute eggs? I've missed out on a lot of baked goods because of the use of eggs. Thankfully, I can use the coconut milk, but what the eggs?

# Posted By Angela | 5/31/11 7:13 PM

Angela: There are many egg substitutions out there, you could do a search on a search engine to see your options. One that is very popular and works well is "flax eggs" (1 tablespoon of freshly ground flax seeds soaked 2 tablespoons of water for 3 minutes). You can see it used in a recipe like this: http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/index.cfm/2011/5/20/sweet-potato-vanilla-patty-cakes

Another one that I've had success with is corn starch (1 tablespoon corn starch to 1-3 tablespoons water/milk).

Give those a try and see how it works for you!

My first attempt was a bit too moist. I thought I had it thick enough at first, but it came out not so right. I'll try it again this weekend with a thicker consistency and see how it goes. Tasted great though!

# Posted By James | 7/26/11 7:08 PM

Awesome! I've been missing pizza! I didn't have whole milk so I used half a cup of Greek yogurt and half a cup of skim milk. It came out great!

# Posted By Nicky | 11/29/11 6:05 PM

Angela: Eggs are non-dairy.

# Posted By Kirsten | 12/21/11 10:49 AM

Many thanks for this recipe!! I eagerly tried it at home but had no coconut milk or milk - so I used plain yoghurt. The end result was delicious - the based is delicious by itself.

# Posted By Sam | 1/21/12 10:36 AM

Not a bad mix. I waited till the edges were brown, but it came out a little bit more moist than I like. I will try upping the baking time in the future, and see if that helps. Maybe swapping out some of the milk for an egg might help too...
The base would make a great bread replacement.
