Coconut Flour Pizza Base

Also on grain-free pizza night we made a coconut flour pizza crust. To spruce it up a little we used an eggplant topping.

This base is very filling so make sure you make it nice and thin. On the taste side it has a drier taste than a normal flour pizza crust sp make sure you add some sloppy toppings.

Zucchini Base Pizza

Zucchini Base Pizza

This recipe is based off Christina’s zucchini pizza base. We used the base recipe as a guide and added out own toppings.

Note that I have given very broad ingredient measurements because it’s pretty hard to mess it up.

You will need:

The base

  • 3 or 4 zucchini’s, grated, moisture squeezed out
  • 2 eggs
  • a pinch of salt
  • mozzarella, broken up
  • tasty cheese, grated

The topping

  • rocket
  • salami
  • tomato
  • mushroom
  • red onion

Here’s what we did:

The base

  1. Turn the oven on to 180 degrees Celcius.
  2. After you have squeezed out the moisture from the zuccini place it in a bowl and add the eggs, salt and cheese.
  3. Once it’s well mixed, spread it evenly in a greased pan.
  4. Pop it in the oven for 20 minutes and let it brown up.
