Deep Dish Pizza {almond & coconut flour}

August 3, 2020 by Erica 6 Comments


This deep dish pizza recipe uses both almond and coconut flour to build a sturdy crust with a crunch around the edges. It reminds me of a cornmeal pizza crust that I’ve had on a few occasions at an artisan pizza restaurant, way back (over 20 years) when I lived in the Boston area.

I offer some great pizza crust recipes, including this focaccia crust, as well as 2 great flatbread crusts in my Healthy Coconut Flour cookbook: One that uses both almond and coconut flour, and another that uses just coconut flour.

This recipe came by request: My older son is following SCD religiously and is craving a solid deep dish pizza he can make in his cast iron pan. If you don’t have a cast iron pan, a deep baking dish or pie dish will work as well.

Deep Dish Pizza {almond & coconut flour}

This bakes really well in a 10-inch cast iron skillet but you can use a baking dish or pie dish as well.
Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 213kcal

Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet or pie dish

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan or other cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for the dough, plus more for the skillet
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175° C, or gas mark 4).
  • Cover a cast iron skillet with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, generously so that it is well-oiled on the inside.
  • In a bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, cheese, and salt, and blend with a fork.
  • Add the eggs and oil to the bowl and mix with a fork or spoon until well-blended. You can start to roll the dough with your hands once it's blended.
  • Using your hands, spread the dough evenly across the skillet and press it up the sides about halfway up.
  • Bake the crust in the skillet for 12 minutes, or until the top edges turn a bit golden.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and add tomato sauce, cheese, and any other pizza toppings you like.
  • Bake the toppings for another 10 minutes or so.

    My cast iron is a 12 inch, do I need to change the amount of ingredients for this size?

      Totally up to you, really. You can stay with the 8-slice recipe and just have a thinner crust, or adjust the ingredients to a 12-slice recipe. Deep dish usually has a thick crust so if that’s what you’re after, I’d increase all the ingredients. You can make it a taller crust if you use more ingredients.

    I am dairy free as well. Can I just leave the cheese out, do you think?

      I don’t know if it will work but you can try. I’m also interested in a recipe that does not rely on cheese.

    Do you think this recipe would work using egg replacer & vegan cheese?

      Yes, I think so. Normally I would say no but I think the cheese will help hold it together.

    Hi Ruth, yes whole almonds works, just make sure to pulse them well before adding the other ingredients.
