Keto Vegan Pizza Crust Ingredients

This vegan pizza base is prepared with coconut flour and ground flax seed as an egg replacement. A little xanthan gum is also used to help bind the base and help hold its shape. The base is seasoned with dried oregano to provide a classic Italian flavoring.

Serving Suggestion

This is a great basic Keto vegan pizza base, perfect to adapt and adorn with your favourite Keto toppings. Once you have part baked the pizza you can go about layering your pizza with your selected ingredients. Why not try sun-dried tomatoes, olives and artichokes for a truly Mediterranean inspired pizza. Optionally you could also scatter with some nutritional yeast to create a cheesy flavor.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt, sea salt
1 teaspoon oregano, dried
1 teaspoon xantham gum gluten free by hodgson mill
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅔ cup coconut flour
½ cup whole ground flaxseed meal by bob's red mill

Instructions

Add the coconut flour, ground flaxseed, salt, oregano and xanthan gum to a mixing bowl. Mix together well until combined.
Add the olive oil and a little water to the bowl. Use your hands to start to bring the mixture together. Add a little more water until it is all fully incorporated and you have a dough consistency. Set aside for 10 minutes to rest and allow the flax and coconut flour to absorb all the water. If after this time the dough feels a little dry, add more water a little at a time until you have a smooth, shapeable dough.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut a large square of baking paper and lay it on a clean work surface. Turn the dough out into the middle of the paper. The dough should not be too sticky, so you can press it into your base shape with your hands, creating a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Alternatively place a second piece of baking paper over the top of the dough and use a rolling pin to roll into shape.
Carefully transfer the dough base, on the baking parchment, to a large oven tray. Place in the oven to bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden and starting to firm. After this time you can layer your base with your selected toppings, then return to the oven to cook for a further 5-10 minutes until your base and toppings are hot through.
