  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Pizza Crust Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato (approximately 235 g)
  • 3/4 cup white rice flour
  • 1/3 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Cooking spray (for greasing parchment paper)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potato: Peel and chop one medium sweet potato into 3 cm chunks. Boil in water for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain the water and mash the sweet potato until smooth to yield 1 cup (235 g).
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pizza crust.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In the same pot or a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato with white rice flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well with a spoon to integrate all ingredients.
  4. Knead Dough: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then knead with your hands into a ball. Adjust the texture by adding a small amount of water or oil if too dry, or more rice flour if sticky, aiming for a dough similar to traditional pizza dough.
  5. Roll Out Dough: Place the dough onto a greased sheet of parchment paper and cover with a second parchment sheet. Roll out to roughly 0.7-1 cm thickness in your desired shape.
  6. First Bake: Remove the top parchment sheet, transfer the dough on the bottom sheet to a baking sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes to set the crust.
  7. Flip Crust: After baking, remove from oven and carefully flip the crust using the second parchment paper to avoid burning. Peel the hot parchment paper off the crust.
  8. Add Toppings and Final Bake: Place your favorite pizza toppings on the crust and return to the oven for an additional 10 to 18 minutes. Cooking time varies depending on the toppings used.
  9. Serve and Store: Enjoy your sweet potato crust pizza fresh. Store any leftovers refrigerated for up to 3–4 days.

Notes

  • Using a kitchen scale for measuring ingredients ensures accuracy and consistency.
  • Adjust the dough texture by adding small amounts of water, oil, or rice flour as needed.
  • Greasing parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes flipping the crust easier.
  • Baking the crust before adding toppings improves firmness and prevents sogginess.
  • Cooking times for the final bake vary depending on the number and moisture content of toppings.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3–4 days for best quality.
