Finally, Sweet Potato Pizza crust that’s fluffy, healthy, and delicious! Vegan, Gluten-Free, and made with only 5 ingredients.

I LOVE Pizza! However, the search for a healthy AND tasty homemade Pizza Crust that’s also Vegan and Gluten-Free has been a little…difficult, to say the least.

The hunt is over, friends! After some testing in the kitchen, I’ve created this 5 Ingredient Sweet Potato Pizza Crust that actually holds together and ticks all of those boxes. Shall we?

Not only is this recipe made from healthy and wholesome ingredients, but it’s relatively easy to make too! It all comes togetther in just a few simple steps:

1. Steam and Mash Your Sweet Potatoes

Peel your Spud, steam until fork tender, then mash it well in a bowl. Combine with a thickened Flax “Egg”, and our wet ingredients are all done! That’s right folks, this recipe is also Oil-Free too 😉

2. Combine the Dry Ingredients + Seasonings

We’ll use a combination of Brown Rice Flour, Tapioca Flour, and Baking Powder to help or Sweet Potato Pizza Crust get that right balance between doughy and fluffy. I also like to add in extra seasonings to my dry ingredients to really amp up the flavor! My favorite spices to add are Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning, Black Pepper, and Smoked Paprika – but you can really add whatever you’d like.

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.

3. Roll it Out, Pop it in the Oven, Flip, Then Top as Desired

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, then add any and every topping that your little heart desires. No need to skimp here – this crust isn’t going to fall apart, I promise 😉

Once you finish decking out your Pizza, return it to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

You can use this Sweet Potato Pizza Crust for a traditional Pizza like I did in these photos, but don’t be scared to get creative! The Sweet Potato flavor is present in the crust, but I don’t find it to be too overpowering.

I love to experiment with different toppings, and even make Sweet Potato Dessert Pizzas when I’m feeling extra fancy. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, so don’t be afraid to make a large batch and have a Pizza Party!

A Few Final Thoughts:

This pizza dough can be made in advance! Place it in a firmly sealed container, and it’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days before use.
If you’d like a smoother pizza crust, be sure to steam your Sweet Potatoes very well, but if you’d like some Sweet Potato pieces in the crust, you can steam them until only slightly soft. I liked both variations, and think it comes down to personal preference.
I have not tested this recipe with any other flour combinations and cannot recommend substitutions. If you try something else and it works for you, please let me know in the comments below!
