Faraali Pizza Crust Recipe (Ekadashi Friendly)
PLEASE READ THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY AS THE RECIPE IS VERY TRICKY! It will definitely take a few tries to master this recipe but please try to stick as close as possible 🙂
-1.5 cup Tapioca flour
-3/4 cup Super fine blanched Almond Flour+ more if needed
-3/4 cup Coconut flour+ more if needed
-1.5 tbsp ground flax seed (+3.5 tbsp water)= (1 egg substitute)
-2 tbsp Oil (Optional: Homemade Chili herb oil)
-1/2 cup warm water+ more if needed
-Salt to taste
Method:
-Preheat oven to 375F.
-Mix all the dry flours together evenly.
-In a small bowl, Mix the ground flaxseeds with water and make sure it forms an egg yolk like mixture. (add .5 tbsp more water if needed)
-Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture and add the Flax egg, oil, salt and a little bit of lukewarm water.
-Mix the dough really well and add lukewarm water as needed.
-Since this is a Faraali/Gluten free recipe, it will not be as a normal dough. The mixture will be a little crumbly but try to mend it together as well as possible. (Your dough should be little like a pastry dough consistency)
-Once you have a well mixed dough, oil a baking sheet and start spreading the dough/ rolling out the dough on the sheet. (can use tapioca starch for dusting the dough)
-If your dough is too wet to bind together, add some more coconut flour first and then almond flour if needed.
-Bake the dough by itself on 375 F for 7-10 minutes/ until you see the edges and the dough getting a little golden brown.
-Cool for about 5 minutes or store for later use*
-Spread some homemade marinara sauce, fresh herbs (Italian parsley, basil, oregano), olives, green peppers, cheese and bake until the cheese starts to melt. DO NOT OVER BAKE!
-FOR USING LATER: If your dough is very crispy/hard, sprinkle a few drops of water over it and microwave it for 15-20seconds. The dough should be a little warm, and more easy to work with. Spread the sauce and toppings over it and bake for a few minutes or until your cheese starts to melt!
