Sweet Potato Pizza Crust Recipes

PALEO SWEET POTATO PIZZA CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Roast sweet potatoes. I roast my sweet potatoes at 420 degrees F for 1 hour - 1 hr. 20 minutes, until they are very soft.
• Once potatoes have cooled, scoop out the flesh, and measure out 2 cups of sweet potato puree.
• In a large mixing bowl, add sweet potatoes, and use a hand mixture to whip the sweet potatoes until they are smooth.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, and use the hand mixer again to mix well.
• Preheat oven to 425 degree F.
• Line a cookie sheet with baking paper. Scoop "dough" in heaping 1/2 cups (the recipe will make 4 small pizza crusts).
• Wet your fingers, and lightly press down on the top of each mound.
• Cover 1 mound of dough with another piece of parchment, and then use a flat-bottomed smooth plate to press down until the sweet potato is about 6 inches in diameter. Watch this process in the video above.
• I like to use wet fingers to gently mold the edges of the crust, but this is optional.
• Bake the crusts for 30 minutes.
• Top the crusts with sauce, cheese, or other toppings, as desired.
• Return topped pizzas to the oven for 12-20 minutes, depending on how many toppings are added. A basic cheese pizza will bake in 12 minutes, but a pizza loaded with tons of veggies will take 20.

SWEET POTATO PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F. Peel, dice (to about ½" pieces), and measure out your Sweet Potato. I recommend using a food scale for best results. Fill a steamer basket with a small layer of water, then steam the Sweet Potatoes until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes.
• While the Sweet Potatoes are steaming, prepare the Flax "Egg" in a small bowl and set aside. Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well.
• Transfer the Sweet Potatoes to a large bowl, then mash well. Add the Flax Egg and mix until evenly combined, then add in half of the dry ingredients and mix with a fork. Add the remainder of the dry ingredients - at some point you will need to switch to using your hands to knead the dough into a ball.
• Next, place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a circle about ⅓-½" thick, then peel back the top layer of parchment paper. Transfer the dough + bottom layer of parchment paper to a baking sheet, then bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, and cover the crust with the second piece of parchment paper. Flip the crust over so that layer is now on the bottom, then peel back the base layer of parchment paper, which should now be on top.
• Top the Sweet Potato Pizza Crust as desired, then return to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes. You can broil the pizza at the end for an additional 1-2 minutes if you'd like your toppings to be extra crispy! Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to one week.

3 INGREDIENT SWEET POTATO PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pulse the sweet potato and oats through the food processor until very fine. Add the egg and garlic powder and salt; pulse again to mix. The mixture should resemble a loose dough or thick batter.
• Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet or round pizza pan. Press into crusts and shape with your hands - you can either make two smaller crusts (you'll get more crispy edge surface area) or one larger crust. Crusts should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is dry to the touch. Remove from oven, let cool, and invert back onto the pan with the dry side facing down. Peel the parchment very gently off the top layer and brush with olive oil. Bake for another 5-10 minutes to get a nice crispy top.
• Top with your favorite pizza toppings and pop back into the oven to melt the cheese! Voila.
