Cooking Instructions

Once you whisk the dry ingredients together, add half of them to the Sweet Potatoes and mix with a fork. Then, add the remainder of the dry ingredients and use your hand to knead everything together. The dough should be pretty moist but should not stick to your clean hand once finished.

Then, we’ll roll the dough out between two sheets of Parchment Paper to prevent sticking – peel the top layer back, but save it for later! Pop the Pizza Crust in the oven for 10 minutes, flip it onto the other sheet of parchment paper, and then add any and every topping that your little heart desires. No need to skimp here – this crust isn’t going to fall apart, once you finish decking out your Pizza, return it to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
