Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 1 pizza crust
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place gluten-free oats in a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse until the oats become a fine, flour-like consistency.
- Transfer the ground oats to a large mixing bowl and add almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk dry ingredients together until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in olive oil and water. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to hydrate and bind together.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and use your hands or a rolling pin to spread it into a thin, even circle approximately 10-12 inches in diameter.
- Use the back of a spoon or offset spatula to smooth the edges and create an even thickness across the crust.
- Pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown and the surface looks slightly dry.
- Remove from oven, add desired pizza toppings, and return to oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until toppings are cooked and crust is crispy.
- Allow pizza to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- • Ensure your oats are certified gluten-free to maintain the recipe's gluten-free status. • For the best texture, use a food processor to grind the oats into a fine flour-like consistency. • Let the dough rest for exactly 5 minutes - this helps the ingredients bind and improves the crust's texture. • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make transferring easier. • Don't overload with toppings - too many can make the delicate crust soggy. • For extra crispiness, you can brush the crust edges with a little olive oil before the final bake. • Experiment with different toppings, but be mindful of moisture content to keep the crust crisp. • Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing to help the crust set and maintain its structure.
