Weeknight Cast Iron Pan Pizza

I prepared this cast iron pan pizza on a pellet smoker, but it works just as well on a grill or in the oven. The key is to cook the crust without toppings until lightly browned first in order to get nice crisp edges!

Ingredients

Crust

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup tapioca flour
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut flour
  • 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. avocado oil for the pan

Toppings

  • ⅓ cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 4 oz. fresh mozzarella
  • 1 oz. thin sliced uncured salami or prosciutto
  • 3-5 ea. fresh basil leaves torn

Instructions

  • Preheat your pellet smoker, grill or oven to 425° F.
  • In a mixing bowl combine almond, tapioca, coconut flours, flaxseed, salt and baking soda; whisk to combine. 
  • In a liquid measuring cup stir together water, olive oil and apple cider vinegar.  Pour liquids into flour mixture; stir to form a wet dough. Allow to stand about 5 minutes to hydrate flours.
  • Meanwhile add avocado oil to a 10-inch cast iron skillet. It will seem like a lot of oil at first but it helps with crust browning and texture.
  • Transfer the dough to the skillet, use hands to pat into an even layer in the pan.
  • Place skillet on the smoker; cook 12-15 minutes or until crust looks set on the top and the bottom is starting to brown.
  • Top crust with sauce, cheese and salami. Return to the smoker and cook another 10-12 minutes or until cheese is hot and melted and the edges of the crust are golden brown. 
  • Top with fresh basil just before serving.
