Description

This pizza crust offers a delightful alternative for those seeking a unique homemade pizza experience. It provides a distinctive texture and flavor that complements a variety of toppings. This recipe is an excellent way for people to customize their individual pizza slices with their preferred ingredients.

There are several ways to make a pizza crust using alternative flours and fats. This particular recipe uses coconut flour, crushed pork rinds, grated mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasoning to create the dough. An egg binds these ingredients, creating a cohesive mixture that bakes to a golden brown.

Once the pizza crust is ready, you can let your culinary imagination run wild with toppings. A classic combination of tomato sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni is always a crowd-pleaser. Alternatively, you can venture into something different with a white pizza sauce, marinated artichoke hearts, and roasted red pepper slices.

The pork rinds add a surprising savory depth and satisfying crunch to the crust, contrasting beautifully with softer toppings like melted cheese and sliced mushrooms. The coconut flour provides a subtle sweetness that balances the richness of the cheese and the saltiness of the pork rinds. The crust itself is sturdy enough to hold a generous amount of toppings without becoming soggy, yet it remains tender and easy to bite into.

The Italian seasoning infuses the crust with a warm, aromatic flavor that enhances the overall pizza experience. The baked mozzarella contributes a golden-brown, slightly crisp exterior that adds another layer of textural interest. Whether you're creating individual mini pizzas or a large family-sized pie, this crust provides a versatile base for your pizza creations.

It's a fun and engaging way to experiment with different flavor combinations and cater to individual preferences. From simple margherita-style pizzas to more elaborate creations with multiple toppings, this crust is a blank canvas for your culinary artistry.

    1 teaspoon
    4.
    Coconut Flour

    ½ cup
    5.
    Mozzarella Cheese

    ½ cup, grated

Instructions

    1.
    Add the pork rinds to a food processor. Pulse until broken down into a dense breadcrumb consistency. This may take about a minute.
    2.
    Add the coconut flour, mozzarella, and Italian seasoning to the food processor. Pulse again until well combined, achieving a heavy crumb consistency. The cheese should be broken down. Salt is typically not needed due to the saltiness of the pork rinds.
    3.
    Crack the eggs into the food processor. Blend well to combine until a slightly sticky, easy-to-handle dough forms. Scoop the dough into a bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
    4.
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange a square of baking parchment on a work surface. Turn the dough out onto the parchment, cover with another sheet of baking paper, and roll into a circle of approximately 1/4 inch thickness to create your pizza base.
    5.
    Remove the top layer of baking paper and carefully transfer your pizza base (on the bottom layer of paper) to a large oven tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden all over. Remove from the oven to add your chosen toppings, then return to the oven to finish cooking the base and toppings as needed.
