So I totally dropped this pizza face down on the floor. After I had just pulled it out of the oven, loaded with toppings… it was a sad day. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen me capture the sad (but hysterical) moments in my stories.

The thing is, I totally saw it happening too. Like I was predicting that moment. Watching the pizza fall in my head before it actually did. Know what I’m saying?

Here’s how it went down: I was getting ready to transfer the pizza on the parchment paper over to my photography setup. And as I was pulling the parchment paper away from the pan, I stepped away from the oven, and the parchment paper corner ripped, sending the pizza flipping face down SMACK onto the floor. Why did I think I needed to carry the parchment paper over 10 feet away, instead of keeping it on the pizza pan? I mean, that is just not smart. I swear if there was an award for Clumsiest, Messiest Food Blogger. I would come in FIRST PLACE. I am SUCH a mess.

Oh and remember how I decided to paint our kitchen cabinets white? WHAT WAS I THINKING. I mean, honestly? We’re not even six months into our house and I’ve already splattered various bits of food all over them. Most of it comes off but there are a couple of spots that are definitely staying for good. HELP. I thought Mr. Clean magic erasers would do the trick but no sir. He couldn’t help. *le sigh*

ANYWAYS.

So what are we doing today? We’re making a PALEO PIZZA CRUST. I’ve been wanting to try a simple grain-free pizza crust for a while and when I received my tapioca flour from NOW Foods, I figured it was the perfect ingredient to test out a paleo pizza. This pizza crust is definitely not like your gluten filled pizza dough, so don’t get your hopes up there! But it is a great flatbread style pizza with a chewy crust. It’s also super easy to make–no yeast, no kneading–nut free and minimal ingredients.

Ingredients Needed:

• tapioca flour
• coconut flour
• salt
• Italian seasoning
• avocado oil
• water
• egg
• apple cider vinegar

I promise this recipe is quite simple! The ingredients come together in one bowl. And you want to make sure the dough is slightly sticky when you roll it into a ball, because you’ll be using extra flour to roll it out. If the dough sticks to your rolling pin while rolling the dough flat, just simply sprinkle on a bit more flour onto the pizza dough and cover your rolling pin.

One you shape your dough into your circle (or square/rectangle!) you transfer the parchment paper onto a baking sheet and pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes at 400F.

Once the crust has baked a little bit (it should still be slightly soft here) you add on your favorite toppings and bake again for an additional 3-5 minutes until toppings have warmed.

And that’s really it! A simple grain-free, dairy-free paleo pizza crust that comes together in less than 20 minutes.

I hope you enjoy!
