Pizza. I don’t know a single person who does not love it and I know for those on the Paleo Autoimmune diet, it has to be tough to give it up. Well, think again.
When flipping through the pages of Mediterranean Paleo Cooking by Caitlin Weeks, Nabil Boumrar, and Diane Sanfilipio, I was seriously impressed by the variety of delicious recipes and how each recipe has a easy chart sharing allergen/dietary restriction. You will find recipes that are aip-friendly, low FODMAP, low carb and so much more inside this gem of a book.
Just a few of the recipes that caught my eye are the strawberry coffee cake, paleo moussaka, paleo pasta and creme caramel. But of course, it was the aip pizza crust that called to me like a siren.
I’m going to say buy this book today! Seriously, you’re going to get over 150 recipes, two 30-day meal plans and a helpful shopping list.
Now back to that aip pizza crust, I decided to get a little fun with the toppings and it turned out just delicious! I know that you will love it as much as I did!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup boiling hot water
- 1 tablespoons gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup palm shortening or coconut oil at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the hot water and gelatin in a small, heatproof bowl. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together the tapioca, coconut flour, salt and baking soda.
- Add the fat to the flour mixture and mix well. Add the vinegar and gelatin water to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Set the dough on the lined baking sheet and press it into a circle that’s about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
- Bake the crust for 15 minutes and remove from the oven. Add toppings of choice and bake for 15 more minutes, until golden brown.
This crust looks delicious but I’m afraid I am not a fan of fruit on my pizza. Would love to win the book.
I can’t wait for this cookbook – so excited!
I would love to win the book!!
What a brilliant topping idea! I bet that was fantastic! I really want this book! It looks like they’ve done such a great job identifying various dietary needs!
I’m so glad you posted this recipe; I’ve been looking for a good pizza crust!
This looks so amazingly good!
I can’t wait to try this! I have been craving some pizza so this is perfect!
Yum! This looks amazing
Looks delicious!
I would never have thought to put those flavors together on a pizza, I bet it tastes amazing, I would love to try some of the recipes in this cookbook, especially the one on the cover. YUM!
It’s getting close to your cookbook coming out Kelly, I can’t wait…..love your blog and recipes.
Love this!!! xoxo
I have been looking for a pizza crust! thank you!
The crust sounds very tasty and I am going to give this a try. Never tried any fruit pizza before and all of your recipes that I have made so far are yummy so I trust that this will be that way too! Thanks for all you do Kelly <3
Looks delicious! Pizza has been the hardest food to give up (or in other words, what I eat when I cheat). I would love to try this one.
I am new to Paleo and love what it has done for my health, thank you for the wonderful recipes! Would love to win the book!
this website has been a blessing since I started on the AIP! Would love to have a cookbook!
This sounds amazing!
The pizza crust looks good. I’ll have to try that.
Pizza is the thing I miss the most and many of the crusts I have tried have been less than exciting 🙂 This one looks like it would work well.
Also, my favorite ethnic food is Mediterranean, as well as Middle Eastern. I would love to have the book! 🙂
Thanks for your encouragement on this food journey.
I am always on the hunt for a good AIP pizza base (for me), we only ever have homemade pizzas now, the men in my life much prefer them. Living in south east queensland in australia is akin to a mediterranean climate so this book would be AWESOME. Keep up the great work Kelly
Looks like a great AIP crust to try!
Sounds great!
This sounds delicious…and easy. Will try this this weekend because I am so hungry for pizza and have not had any for so long. Really though, I will probably make two of these. 🙂 And a chance to win a new book is always a plus!
I love your site. You have literally saved my life with recipes. Thanks a million
This looks so delicious, and since I’m going to be starting the AIP once I finish my non-AIP staples, this comes at a great time! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I need to try this crust! My husband is having pizza as we speak and I really need a version I can eat!
How cool!! I’d love to win this!
This recipe for the pizza sounds interesting – and the topping mix is interesting as well. I think the topic of the cookbook is interesting as well – it’s always interesting to see how easy it is to modify food for Paleo.
Delightful….question? How do you incorporate the palm/coconut oil at room temperature. Isn’t it just a big lumpy mess?
You know, gelatin egg was still hot so it melted the coconut oil. Good question though!
Seriously, how do so many people with gut dysbiosis tolerate tapioca starch? It’s enjoying a huge uptrend right now in AIP recipes and it KILLS me (as do most pure starches). Very creative food making here! thanks for sharing and i’ll continue the hunt for a safe starch. 🙂
Yes, I have to watch tapioca flour also Michelle
Question for you…do you think I could substitute egg(s) for the gelatin and hot water and if so, how many? I was on AIP for quite some time and now working with a new Naturopathic doctor, she is having me eat grain-free, vegan with the exception of 4-5 eggs/week. Thanks so much!
I’m sure you could hun but you would have to play with the ratios. Just looking at the ingredients, I would start with two eggs and then tweak.
I LOVE this recipe!! Thank you so much – such an easy & money-saving recipe for an addition to meals for the week – really helps w/ my busy schedule XOXO
So glad you enjoyed it Angela!
Wow, sounds like a great recipe. It’s exciting to think I can eat pizza still on the AIP.
Enjoy!
COULD I JUST USE ALL COCONUT FLOUR OR ALMOND FLOUR INSTEAD OF TAPIOCA FLOUR?.
Coconut Flour may work however you are changing the recipe so the other ingredients will have to be adjusted also.
What a great recipe! I replace tapioca flour with Cassava flour and it worked well. Instead of parchment paper I used a cast iron pan lightly sprayed with olive oil. This crust was a perfect pizza texture and I was able to slice it and eat it with my hands just like regular pizza. I loved this recipe. I had some left over crust and made an apple, bacon, cinnamon tart. So crazy good! I really love this dough! Thank you for sharing with us!
You are very welcome Sharon!
