Healthy Sweet Potato Pizza Crust
If you adore pizza as much as I do but want to make a pizza that is much healthier than a regular pizza, then try out this sweet potato pizza crust. Why is it healthier than a regular pizza crust?
Simple Ingredients
Only 5 ingredients are in this gluten-free pizza crust. The most important one is, of course, sweet potato! Next, I added rice flour, tapioca flour/starch, salt, and baking powder. And that’s it! I really wanted to keep this recipe as simple as possible. I am pretty sure you could use regular all-purpose (wheat flour) instead of rice flour if you aren’t gluten-free (I haven’t tried it out, though). Please read the “Useful Tips” below for a grain-free and paleo version.
How To Make A Sweet Potato Pizza Crust?
It’s really easy to make this pizza crust. All you need is a cup of mashed sweet potato, two different flours, baking powder, salt, a baking tray, and two sheets of parchment paper. Of course, you will also need an oven and your favorite pizza toppings. You have to pre-bake the pizza crust in the oven for 10 minutes, then top and bake again for 10-18 minutes. The baking time depends on the toppings you are going to use and also on the thickness of the pizza dough (how thin you rolled out the dough).
Is The Crust Freezer Friendly?
Yes, you can pre-bake the crust and freeze it! I would recommend making smaller pizzas (for example, use one dough to make 2 smaller pizzas). Simply pre-bake the pizza dough for 10 minutes, let cool, and put each crust into a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. As soon as you want to eat pizza, grab one crust out of the freezer and bake it in the oven for 10 minutes, then top and bake for an additional 10 to 18 minutes until crispy.
