Featured Ingredients

Not only is coconut extremely versatile, it is also the top food source of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) – a beneficial type of saturated fat associated with treating epilepsy, increasing insulin sensitivity, improving memory and cognition in Alzheimer’s patients, improving exercise performance, and boosting gut health.

Garlic is the top food source of thiosulfinates, which are sulfur-containing compounds responsible for diverse health benefits including powerful anticancer properties as well as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-thrombotic effects.

Olive oil is consistently linked with health benefits, including reducing cardiovascular disease risk (both heart disease and stroke), Alzheimer’s risk, and cancer risk, improving blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity, reducing likelihood of weight gain (and maybe even aid in weight loss), reducing joint pain and swelling in rheumatoid arthritis, and generally reduce markers of inflammation.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil for the pizza stone or skillet

For the Flat Bread

• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup coconut milk full fat, warmed
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 large egg beaten
• 1 teaspoon rosemary fresh, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic crushed into a coarse paste
• 1/2 teaspoon salt course and flaky

For Dipping Sauce

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon vinegar balsamic
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper fresh, cracked
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

For the Flat Bread

• Rub a pizza stone or large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place in the oven to heat. Preheat the oven to 450 F.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the tapioca starch and coconut flour until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm coconut milk, oil, and egg. Pour over the tapioca starch mixture and stir to combine. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes to thicken before using to make pizza.
• Remove the hot pizza stone or skillet from the oven. Pour the dough onto the hot stone or into the hot pan, using a spatula to spread it into a 9- to 10-inch circle of even thickness (about 1/4 inch thick). Sprinkle the rosemary, garlic, and salt over the top.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, depending on how crispy you like it.
• Remove the flatbread from the pizza stone or skillet to a cutting board. Cut in half, then slice into 1-inch strips.

For the Dipping Sauce

• Mix the olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, pepper, and salt as a dip for the flatbread
