Instructions
cook the sweet potato: -peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. -steam or boil until soft, about 10-15 minutes. -mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and let them cool slightly.
prepare the dough: -in a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with ground flax meal, corn starch, chickpea flour, avocado oil, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. -mix well until a dough forms. the dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to hold together. -if it feels too wet, add a bit more chickpea flour; if too dry, add a splash of water.
shape the crust: -preheat your oven to 400°f (200°c). -line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. -place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and use your hands or a rolling pin to spread it into a pizza crust shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
bake the crust: -bake the crust for about 15 minutes or until it’s firm and slightly golden around the edges. -gently flip the crust halfway through baking.
add toppings and bake again: -add your favorite vegan pizza toppings. -return the pizza to the oven and bake for about an additional 15 minutes until the toppings are cooked and the crust is crispy.
serve: -let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.
