Coconut Flour Pizza Base

Corn, gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, nut, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

I have been experimenting with Lucy Bee's fair trade organic raw coconut flour. The coconut flour doesn't have a strong flavour and so is fine for recipes that you don't want to taste of coconut. This pizza base is not like a traditional wheat one, but it holds together well.

Ingredients

  • 60g coconut flour
  • ½ tsp gluten free baking powder
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • pinch of salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 100ml hot water

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / Gas 4 / 350°F.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, herbs, psyllium husk, salt and pepper together in a bowl.
  3. Stir in the oil and eggs until the mix looks like breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the hot water a little at a time until you have a dough - the coconut flour takes a little time to absorb the moisture so don't rush this bit.
  5. Place the ball of dough onto a sheet of baking paper, dusted with a little coconut flour.
  6. Dust the top of the dough with a little flour and place another sheet of baking paper on top.
  7. Roll out with a rolling pin until it is about ¾cm thick.
  8. Remove the top sheet of paper and neaten up the edges with a knife.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes, turn over gently and bake for another 10 minutes.
  10. Cover with the topping of your choice and bake for about 12-15 minutes.
