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.

Eggs are full of nutrients! A single serving of 2 eggs provides at least 10% or more of the daily value of 17 different nutrients, with the yolk containing the vast majority of the nutrition.

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 cup tapioca starch
• 1/4 cup coconut flour sifted (measure after sifting)
• 1 teaspoon oregano dried
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic dried, granulated
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup coconut milk full fat, warmed
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 large egg beaten
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the tapioca starch, coconut flour, oregano granulated garlic, and salt 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.
• Rub a pizza stone or large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet with the olive oil and place in the oven to heat. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Remove the hot pizza stone or skillet from the oven. Pour the pizza crust dough into the heated pan and spread it with a spatula to a 9- to 10-inch circle of even thickness (it should be about 1/4 inch thick).
• Bake for 7 to 9 minutes depending on how crispy you like the crust. See note below.
• If making more than one pizza you may transfer the baked pizza crusts to a baking sheet. Lower temperature to 400 degrees. Top with your favorite toppings and return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes and serve!

Notes

Tip: You can par bake the crust and then store it in the freezer for an extra-quick weeknight meal later. Bake the crust for 7 minutes. let it cool completely, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place in a freezer-safe container. Par-baked crusts will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you’re ready to make a pizza, you can use the crust directly from the freezer, simply increase the baking time to 12 to 14 minutes.
