Why use leftover Sweet Potato for Pizza Crust
What would the reason be why I used leftover Sweet Potato for a Pizza Crust? I turned leftover Sweet Potato into a Pizza Crust as the base is gluten-free, wheat-free, grain-free, and perfect for people with allergies or trying to avoid wheat flour
Ingredients
- 1½ cups cold cooked and mashed sweet potato
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- A crack of sea salt
- 2 tsp psyllium husk (optional)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 Tblsp dried parsley flakes
- 2 Tblsps coconut oil
Method
- Using a fork, mix the egg with the sweet potato until well blended and incorporated.
- Add the rest of the ingredients together and it forms a soft ball of dough.
- Leave the dough to rest and firm up for at least 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Press the dough into the shape you prefer.
- Be careful not to make it too thin.
- Poke tiny holes into the base with a fork.
- Bake at 180C until the bottom is brown.
- Remove from the oven and gently flip over.
- Add any sauce of your choice as well as pizza toppings.
- Return to the oven and bake until browned at the bottom and the cheese has melted.
- Cool slightly before cutting.
