Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix well. Gradually add warm water while stirring. Start with 1/2 cup of water
Add more water
Add more water as needed to form a soft and pliable dough. The exact amount of water may vary depending on humidity and other factors.
Roll Out the Crust
Place a piece of parchment paper on your counter and dust it with cassava flour. Place the dough on the parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it into your desired pizza crust shape. Aim for about 1/4-inch thickness.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a clean surface lightly dusted with cassava flour. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Transfer to Baking Surface
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the rolled-out crust onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Pre-Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until it's just starting to firm up and the edges are slightly golden.
Add Toppings
Remove the partially baked crust from the oven and spread your favorite tomato sauce and toppings over the surface. Be creative and add cheese, vegetables, meats, and any other ingredients you prefer.
Bake Until Golden
Place the pizza back into the oven and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cool and Serve
Once the pizza is done, carefully remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
