Ingredients :
For the coconut flour option
- 8 large egg whites for thicker bases, use 5 whole eggs and 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup coconut flour sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Spices of choice salt, pepper, Italian spices
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour to dust very lightly
For the almond flour option
- 8 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Spices of choice salt, pepper, Italian spices
For the pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions :
To make the pizza bases/crusts
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs/egg whites until opaque. Sift in the coconut flour or almond flour and whisk very well until clumps are removed. Add the baking powder, mixed spices and continue to whisk until completely combined.
- On low heat, heat up a small pan and grease lightly.
- Once frying pan is hot, pour the batter in the pan and ensure it is fully coated. Cover the pan with a lid/tray for 3-4 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on top. Flip, cook for an extra 2 minutes and remove from pan- Keep an eye on this, as it can burn out pretty quickly.
- Continue until all the batter is used up.
- Allow pizza bases to cool. Once cool, use a skewer and poke holes roughly over the top, for even cooking. Dust very lightly with a dash of coconut flour.
To make the sauce
- Combine all the ingredients together and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes- This thickens up.
Notes
For a crispy pizza base, bake in the oven for 3-4 minutes prior to adding your toppings.
To freeze: If you want to freeze them, allow pizza bases to cool completely before topping with a dash of coconut flour and a thin layer of pizza sauce. Ensure each pizza base is divided with parchment paper before placing in the freezer.
