    This cassava flour pizza crust recipe is perfect for a family-friendly weeknight dinner. The crust is made with cassava flour, plus it's yeast free and paleo friendly.

    My family loves pizza nights! And while I adore my almond flour pizza crust recipe, I wanted a nut free version that we could enjoy as a family. This cassava flour pizza crust is the perfect solution!

    This crust is made with cassava flour and tapioca starch, it's completely unsweetened and paleo friendly. Even better, this recipe is yeast free, so the crust comes together in minutes.

    My recipe is not only paleo friendly, but it's also gluten free, dairy free AND nut free. This is the perfect gluten free and nut free pizza crust for anyone with common food allergies.

    Why You'll Love this Cassava Pizza Crust

    • Easy to make - a one bowl dough that's rolled, shaped and then baked. No yeast!
    • Healthy - made with simple, paleo friendly ingredients you can feel good about.
    • Gluten free, grain free and nut free - made with cassava flour and tapioca starch.
    • Holds together well - this crust cuts easily and doesn't fall apart after baking. You can store it for leftovers or pack in a sack lunch.

    Ingredients

    The full recipe for this cassava pizza crust can be found in the recipe card below, but here is an overview of what you'll need:

    • cassava flour - since this is a cassava flour pizza crust. I have a ton of cassava flour recipes on my blog. You can check all of them out HERE.
    • tapioca starch - needed for the proper dough texture. The best replacement is arrowroot starch.
    • baking powder - for the rise.
    • salt - enhances the flavors
    • spices - dried oregano, basil, and garlic powder. These are all optional and can easily be swapped for any other dried herbs.
    • unsweetened yogurt - I used a dairy free coconut yogurt, but almond milk yogurt will work well too. I suggest a yogurt that is unsweetened and isn't too thick.
    • egg - I've tried this recipe without an egg and I don't think it works as well. You can try an egg replacement, but it will change the texture of the dough.
    • oil - a little avocado or olive oil works best

    How to Make Pizza Crust with Cassava Flour

    Tips and Tricks

    • Measure the flours by weight - I like to use a small kitchen scale to measure flour, as it's more accurate than measuring by volume.
    • Bake on a stainless steel baking sheet - I baked this pizza on my 360 Cookware stainless steel baking sheet, which is great for pizza and cookies. Stainless steel sometimes bakes differently than other materials, so if using an aluminum or ceramic baking sheet, then be sure to pay close attention to the crust while baking.

    Storage

    Place any leftover pizza in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, place pizza slices in an airtight baggie, each separated by a piece of parchment paper. Keep in the freezer up to one month.

    FAQ

    What is cassava flour?

    Cassava flour comes from from the cassava (or yuca) root.  The cassava root is peeled, dried and ground to make cassava flour. It is white in color, dense and has a fairly neutral taste and smell, similar to wheat flour.

    To learn more, check out my cassava flour guide.

    Is this pizza crust yeast free?

    Yes! You don't need any yeast to make this paleo pizza crust.

    Can I swap tapioca starch for more cassava flour?

    No, these two ingredients are not interchangeable in baking. Tapioca starch is necessary for the proper dough texture. The best substitute would be arrowroot starch.

    Description

    This easy pizza crust recipe is made with cassava flour.  It's made without yeast and is paleo, gluten free, dairy free and nut free.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup cassava flour (130g)
    • 1 cup tapioca starch (115g) + more for rolling dough
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • ¾ tsp salt
    • 1 tsp dried basil
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • ½ tsp garlic powder
    • ¾ cup unsweetened yogurt (I used coconut yogurt)*
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive)


    Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.  This includes the cassava flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt and spices.
    3. Mix in the wet ingredients (yogurt, egg and oil).  Mix first with a spatula or fork, then use your hands to combine the dough.  It should have a playdough-like texture.
    4. Dust a sheet of parchment paper with tapioca starch.  Place the pizza dough on the parchment and dust with additional tapioca.  Grab another sheet of parchment paper and place that on top of the dough.  Roll the dough between the parchment paper to about ¼ inches thick.  The crust will be about 12 inches in diameter.  Remove the top layer of parchment paper and use your hands to shape the edges of the crust.
    5. Keeping the pizza crust on the bottom layer of parchment paper, transfer it to a large baking sheet.  Add your favorite toppings.
    6. Place the pizza in your oven and bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes**

    Notes

    *Any type of yogurt will work.  I recommend one that is unsweetened and runny rather than thick.

    **The bake time will vary depending on the thickness of your crust, the material of the pan you're baking your pizza on and how crispy you want the crust.  A longer bake time will result in a crispier crust.
