I started making this pizza crust for my family when I sensed(read: heard loud and clear) that my family wanted a new, fun, and different side dish with dinner. Night after night of roasted potatoes and plantains apparently gets old for some of us (read: but not me!)

Anyway, I actually made this crust for a while in a large cast iron skillet, and topped with sauce and (GASP!) mozzarella cheese for the kids, but it took me awhile to actually get around to solidifying the recipe, AKA finally remembering to write down ingredients/measurements.

It turns out that some of my favorite recipes are also ones that take months to make it to the blog for this very reason. My “work time” is usually during the mornings after taking the kids to school, so all the “real-life” recipes I make for us sometimes fall through the cracks.

Luckily, I finally got around to making this one official during Spring break when the kids were home. I was totally ready to get my camera timer going to show the recipe steps, until Drew happily volunteered to make the whole thing himself (as you can sort of see below) 🙂

And, it really is easy enough for a 5 year old (or almost 6, his birthday is tomorrow!) to make this paleo pizza crust from start to (almost) finish. You simply mix the ingredients in a bowl and then spread out the dough!

Don’t forget to sprinkle the tapioca flour over the top just like director-momma says to…the dough can be sticky but the extra tapioca (or arrowroot, if you’re using it) helps to easily spread the dough into a circle.

That was of course, his favorite part. This recipe will make a 10 inch crust or a very-thin 12 inch.

It’s meant to handle quite a bit of toppings so you go wild and make it super filling, or go light on toppings for a side dish or snack. We’ve done it all, and it’s a hit every time.

Now for a couple of tips. First, since the recipe involves a decent amount of coconut flour (and we know how absorbent and tricky it can be) I recommend sifting it before adding.

Also, after adding the egg, you will add the remaining 3-4 Tbsp of coconut flour, however as many times as I’ve made this, I’ve never added the full 4 Tbsp – it’s usually around 3 and 1/4 or 3 and 1/2.

The dough will be warm initially and feel somewhat sticky, but the extra tapioca will help with that – don’t add too much coconut flour or you’ll get a grainy “stuck-in-your-throat” texture that I know all too well.

When in doubt about spreading out the dough, add some tapioca, allow the dough to cool, and work with it slowly. I’ve even used a silicone spatula on occasion, especially when I’ve made it in my cast iron skillet.

I hope you enjoy! Now let’s start cooking!!
