📝 Ingredients
Serves 4🥬Fresh Produce(1)
- 1 cup of cooked carrot (240 ml)
🥛Dairy & Eggs(1)
- Half-cured cheese or mozzarella
🫙Pantry Staples(2)
- 1 and 1/2 cups of oat flour (188 g)

- 2
Shape it into a pizza on a baking tray and bake in the air fryer for 9 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius or in the oven for 25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Let it cool.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Steam carrots until fork-tender (12-15 minutes) rather than boiling to retain maximum starch content - boiled carrots lose 30-40% of their binding starches to the cooking water.technique12-15 minutes steaming
- ✓Achieve the right dough consistency by adding oat flour gradually until moisture content drops to 65-70% - the dough should feel slightly tacky but not wet to ensure proper crust formation.ingredient65-70% moisture
- ✓Pre-bake the carrot crust for exactly 6 minutes before adding toppings to create a moisture barrier - this prevents soggy centers by allowing surface proteins to set at 160°F internal temperature.timing6 minutes pre-bake
- ✓Use a perforated pizza pan or parchment with holes to improve airflow underneath - carrot-based crusts need 40% more bottom heat circulation than wheat crusts due to higher moisture content.equipment40% more airflow
- ✓Let the baked crust cool for 8-10 minutes before cutting to allow residual moisture to redistribute and prevent cracking - carrot starches continue setting during this resting period.timing8-10 minutes cooling
