    This easy homemade vegan pizza dough is made without yeast and is egg-free, Paleo-friendly, and gluten-free. I came up with it somewhat by accident in a quest to find a great Paleo tortilla. I did find that too, but in the process, I also ended up with this awesome pizza dough. This recipe makes 1 large serving or 2 smaller servings.

    Reasons to love this pizza dough recipe:

    • It's simple and fast- Just mix the ingredients together, roll out the dough, and bake. 
    • It's healthy- Almond flour, olive oil, and chia seed meal add healthy fats to this meal and keep the carbohydrate count in check. 
    • It's very versatile- This pizza crust is really good even by itself. Just bake the dough for 20-25 minutes straight rather than taking it out mid-way to add toppings. It works well as a pita bread substitute and is great for dipping.

    A little bit about the ingredients:

    • Cassava Flour- This is just a really reliable type of flour because it acts similarly to regular white flour. I'm a fan of Otto's brand.
    • Almond Flour- Super-Fine Almond Flour (rather than regular almond meal) will produce a softer texture. What's the difference between almond flour and almond meal? These get used interchangeably but there is a difference. Almond meal is made using the entire almond and is courser than almond flour. Almond flour is made from blanched almonds and the skins are removed. 
    • Tapioca Starch- This is really important for helping to bind the ingredients together in a grain-free recipe. Finding a balance can be tricky with this ingredient because too little means the dough falls apart, but too much produces a really stretchy weird texture.
    • Coconut Flour- This is a really soft good tasting flour, but by itself or in large proportions to the other flours, it makes for a very crumbly dough. In small amounts though, it adds to a very soft texture and nice flavor to the dough.
    • Olive oil- I used extra-virgin but a lighter olive oil would produce a milder flavor which is fine. I tried substituting avocado oil in one version of this recipe and it just didn't produce the same results. 
    • Ground Chia Seeds/Chia Seed Meal- This is another important ingredient for binding everything together and allows this recipe to be egg-free. You'll mix the ground chia seeds with the liquids in the recipe which will make a gelatinous egg-like substance. It's important to let it sit in the liquid for a few minutes to get nice and gooey. This holds everything together and makes a beautiful dough. 
    • Apple Cider Vinegar- This gives a little bit of rise to the dough without having to use yeast.
