Coconut Flour Dough Recipe Notes

Making coconut flour pizza crust is a scrumptious work of art, but guess what?? It’s EASYYYY!

Here’s what you need to know:

Ingredient Notes

This recipe calls for coconut flour because it’s low in net carbs due to its high fiber content. If you aren’t familiar with coconut flour, it has unique characteristics that prohibit it from being used as a 1:1 swap with any other flour (even low carb types).

Baking with coconut flour does require some adjustments because it’s gluten free. (gluten helps bind ingredients together) I use psyllium husk powder in this recipe to hold the pizza crust together and add the fluffy, doughy component that makes it so warm and comforting.

Tools to Make

One of the great things about preparing coconut flour pizza crust is that you don’t have to tear up your kitchen to do it. Other than a prepared baking sheet, all you need is a large bowl, a fork — coconut flour recipes has a tendency to “clump” together, and you want to work all of this out before forming the crust.

Forming this coconut flour pizza crust should be done with damp hands. Sometimes after I form the dough, I like to cover it with saran wrap and gently press the bottom of a pot over it to ensure even thickness.

Storing Tips

Storing your coconut flour pizza crust delicacy in the fridge will keep it fresh and delicious. An airtight container or wrap will do the trick, protecting it from both heat and moisture.

Can You Freeze This?

Yes, you can, and you can enjoy your own homemade low carb frozen pizza whenever you want! Coconut flour is naturally very dry, so if you plan to freeze it without any toppings, its probably best to parbake it first.

You can also make the entire recipe from start to finish and freeze the whole thing, or freeze single serve portions. Homemade low carb frozen pizza is one of those excellent healthy dinner ideas as well as DELICIOUS  snacks!

Meal Prepping Tips

Decide ahead of time if you intend to freeze a whole coconut flour pizza crust pie or just individual pieces — When freezing multiple pieces, I like to put wax paper between them to prevent them from sticking together.

The best way I’ve found to meal prep this coconut flour pizza is to use the dough to make keto calzone!

Recipe Variations

This delicious coconut flour pizza crust is tasty so many different ways! Use it to make a traditional type of pizza or top it with low carb barbecue sauce and chicken for a delightful barbecue chicken pizza that’ll knock your socks off!

Chicken taco pizza makes a great meal, just wait until serving before topping with lettuce and tomatoes. Using pesto, veggies and herbs is another popular option that makes an absolutely yummy low carb white pizza.

• Add traditional veggies to your pizza, or get creative with things like artichoke hearts and capers. Making a really vegetable dense pizza is as easy as preparing an eggplant pizza or even a zucchini pizza.
• Add any protein-packed topping that fits your lifestyle and suits your taste buds! There are so many choices you can literally create hundreds of flavor combinations. Another great way to add protein to your meal is to try making a chicken crust pizza or even a Meatzza. They’ll fuel your body and please your palate with that savory, cheesy pizza flavor!
• Turn this into a casserole. Make a tasty keto pizza casserole for the fam with your coconut flour pizza crust. Why not?! Simply use your crust to line a casserole dish instead of a sheet pan and start loading it up!
• Make bite sized pizzas! there is no reason why you couldn’t make small pizzas — but forming several smaller crusts can be time consuming. Making cauliflower pizza bites or zucchini pizza bites is much easier and so delicious that even the kiddos will love them! They disappear quickly around my house.

Lindsey's Tips

• Mild Tasting Oil. You want an oil with a high smoke point and mild flavor -- think avocado, vegetable, safflower, sunflower, peanut. Skip EVOO, coconut, or sesame oil. 
• Psyllium Husk. This recipe has ONLY been tested with NOW Psyllium Husk Powder. Some psyllium husk powders can turn baked goods into a blue-ish purple color, and they absorb liquids in varying amounts.
• Coconut flour is naturally very dry, however this recipe uses a lot of liquid so the texture isn't affected. It has a tendency to crack slightly before these ingredients have been baked together.
• I used NOW psyllium husk powder -- this is the only product I have tested this recipe with, and suggest you use it as well! All psyllium husk products differ in how much water they absorb and the color they make the finished products (some psyllium husk adds a blue-purple tint).
• The amount of water used will depending on the psyllium husk you use and how fresh your coconut flour is. I used fresh coconut flour and NOW psyllum husk, and used 1 1/3 cup of water. Start with 1 cup and see if more is needed.
• Nutritional information is based on 1 slice, if you cut your crust into 8 slices, and includes ONLY the toppings listed above:
