INGREDIENTS π₯β£β£
β1/2 cup + 2 tbsp coconut flour (75g)β£β£
β2 tbsp psyllium husk (9g)β£β£
β1/4 tsp saltβ£β£
β1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)β£β£
β1 cup lukewarm water - not boiling, think bath temperature (240ml)β£β£
β£β£
METHOD π₯β£β£
β£β£
Preheat oven to 220C (430F). In a large mixing bowl add the coconut flour, psyllium husk, salt, olive oil and lukewarm water.β£β£
β£β£
π₯ Combine with a spatula first then use your hand and knead the dough for 1 minute. The batter will be very moist at first and dry out as you go and that is what you want. Gather the pieces of dough and form a ball. π§If it is too dry simply add a bit more water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough hold well together.β£β£
β£β£
π₯£ Set aside in the mixing bowl, at room temperature, for 10 minutes. It will give time to the fiber in the flour and psyllium husk to absorb the extra moisture.β£β£
β£β£
βοΈ Roll out your dough now into a large circle. βοΈβ£β£
β£β£
Your pizza base is now ready to be pre-bake (keep your pizza crust on baking paper to bake!). Pre-bake the crust for 12-15 minutes. β£β£
β£β£
Garnish your pizza base and return to the oven for 5-8 minutes or until your cheese is melted and grilled. You can also switch the oven to grill mode for 1-2 minutes at the end of the baking process to grill the cheese even better... Enjoy !! πππΌβ£
