Scale
Pizza Dough
- 2 cups mashed white-fleshed sweet potato (Murasaki Japanese or Hannah variety)
- 2/3 cup cassava flour*
- 3/4 tsp salt
Filling
- 1/2 cup nomato sauce (use tomato paste/sauce if you eat tomatoes)**
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup bacon bits
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, omit for AIP)
- Olive oil (for brushing rolls before baking)
- Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
To Make the Gluten-free Pizza Roll Dough
- In a large bowl, combine sweet potato mash, cassava flour and salt until ingredients come together into a pliable ball of dough.*
- Place ball of dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 8 1/2 x 11 and no less than 1/4 inch thick.
To Prepare the Pizza Rolls
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking dish (8×8 or larger) with parchment paper or grease with olive oil.
- Using an offset or rubber spatula, spread the nomato sauce or tomato sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder, bacon bits and red pepper flakes (if using), over the lower 2/3 of the dough (Image 1).
- Use the parchment paper to help you fold the top 1/3 of the dough down to cover the middle 1/3 (Image 2) and fold the bottom 1/3 up to place on the middle third like a letter (Image 2)
- Starting from the short edge, use a large sharp knife or bench scraper to cut dough into 3/4-inch wide strips (See Image 4)
- Carefully roll each strip inward into a tight circle. If the dough cracks in a few places, use wet fingertips to help bring it back together.
- Brush pizza rolls lightly with olive oil to enhance browning.
- Place into a baking dish of choice and bake in the middle rack of oven for 33-35 minutes.
- If desired, place oven on broil HIGH for 2 minutes to crisp up the tops of the rolls.
- Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
Notes
*If necessary, add more cassava flour by the TBSP to achieve this consistency. You want a soft and pliable dough that is not wet or sticky. See video for desired consistency of dough.
** If using tomato sauce or paste, season with salt according to taste
