Ingredients
Pizza dough
- 2 cups mashed white sweet potato
- ⅔ cup cassava flour*
- ¾ tsp salt
Filling
- ½ cup nomato sauce
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup bacon bits
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, omit for AIP)
- avocado oil (for brushing rolls before baking)
- fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
To make the pizza dough
In a large bowl, combine sweet potato mash, cassava flour and salt until ingredients come together into a pliable ball of dough.*
Place ball of dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 8 ½ x 11 and no less than ¼ inch thick.
To prepare the pizza rolls
Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking dish (8x8 or larger) with parchment paper or grease with olive oil.
Using an offset or rubber spatula, spread the nomato sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder, bacon bits and red pepper flakes (if using), over the lower ⅔ of the dough.
Use the parchment paper to help you fold the top ⅓ of the dough down to cover the middle ⅓ and fold the bottom ⅓ up to place on the middle third like a letter.
Starting from the short edge, use a large sharp knife or bench scraper to cut dough into ¾-inch wide strips.
Carefully roll each strip inward into a tight circle. If the dough cracks in a few places, use wet fingertips to help bring it back together.
Brush pizza rolls lightly with avocado oil to enhance browning.
Place into a baking dish of choice and bake in the middle rack of oven for 33-35 minutes.
If desired, place oven on broil HIGH for 2 minutes to crisp up the tops of the rolls.
Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
Notes
- If necessary, add more cassava flour by the tablespoon to achieve this consistency. You want a soft and pliable dough that is not wet or sticky.
