Who doesn’t love pizza? If you’ve ditched gluten and dairy and have been missing this beloved comfort food, then my AIP & Paleo Pesto Pizza will become an instant favorite for sure!

AIP & Paleo Pesto Pizza
Ingredients
- Dough
- 2⁄3 cup arrowroot flour
- 1/4 cup cassava flour
- 2 tbsp tigernut flour
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup filtered water warm
- Topping
- 1/2 cup Tuscan Kale Pesto
- Suggested Toppings

Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the arrowroot flour, cassava flour, tigernut flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the olive oil. Slowly add warm water to the bowl, and using clean hands, mix until a ball forms.
- Place the dough on a sheet pan or pizza stone. Roll out the dough to a 1⁄4-inch thickness. Bake for 8 minutes or until brown.
- Remove crust from the oven and top with the pesto and other desired toppings. Turn the oven to broil and return the pizza to the oven. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, keeping an eye on the toppings to make sure they don’t burn. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing.
