I appreciated the comments from others about the wet/dry ratio. My consistency was fine with the proportions in the recipe. However, two taste-related notes from me. 1) I think the lime juice can be totally left out. I only used 1tbsp and the lime still came through & was a weird flavor for veggie pizza. 2) overall this was an overwhelmingly oat-flavor crust, not cornmeal. Might try again with some adjustments because texture was ideal!
This was delicious. However, the dough was very wet and sticky so I kept adding more flour until it seemed right and I made one larger pizza because it was hard to work with. Maybe my corn meal wasn’t fine enough? Perhaps adding weight measurements for the flour ingredients would help. Will definitely make again because it was so tasty.
I have been making this weekly since we found it! Thank you! Finally—a dish that is REQUESTED of me! It is a miracle
Love this recipe but when I make this crust I can’t get it not to be sticky, even after I knead it, so it’s very difficult to make a nice crust. Any ideas?
After adding more cornmeal this turned out really well! It was never a stringy texture, more wet and goopy. I made 1 large pizza on a cookie sheet . I put the mixture between 2 pieces of parchment paper (same size as the cookie sheet) and pressed it out smooth and even. Baked it about 12 min at 400F, then added toppings, and baked another 8 min. We loved this crust! Great texture!! Will definitely be making lots more of this!
I’m looking for healthier recipes such as this one to make pizza on the grill. Would this work?
I appreciated the recipe very much, thank you. I’m not a baker so my attempt turned out sticky and I had to improvise. I got something to work so not a total disaster. Perhaps including a bit more tips in the instructions regarding troubleshooting “sticky” texture for us novices at dough would be helpful. Again, thank you!
This pizza dough is like soup, but go with it! Pour out the dough onto the parchment paper–no need to roll it out! Use a spatula to form your poured dough to the correct thickness. (I made mine into rectangle shapes.) It tastes great… as long as you’re making a pizza that has a lot of sauce on it, otherwise, it will taste dry. I used a half cup of BBQ sauce along with “wet” ingredients: fresh pineapple chunks, red pepper, pickled jalapeños and tofu feta. It was perfect!
This isn’t even close to sticky or stringy, its like soup. Going to add more flour. Maybe half the milk would be better?
