There is an amazing array of pizza choices in this town. For under ten dollars one can get a all organic pizza, a spelt crust pizza, a pizza cooked in a wood-fire oven, a gluten free, vegan, or a totally raw one on a sprouted buckwheat crust, but nowhere can you find a grain free pizza...unless, I guess, you come visit me.
I don't like to consume a lot of flour, but there are just some things I don't want to give up. While there are some dishes, which I find perfectly enjoyable sans bread (burger is the obvious one that comes to mind), there are some things that require their carbohydrate element. Pizza on a lettuce leaf just doesn't cut it for me, and while I have seen things like frittatas used as a pizza base, the addition of eggs makes the dish off-limits for some. Inspired by the idea of the cauliflower crust, I have worked on a grain-free vegetable based pizza, but instead of the mild flavoured cauliflower, I have substituted sweet and creamy winter squash. And boy oh boy, am I happy with the results!
Because there isn't any gluten in this pizza, it's not as durable as the traditional crust. Hannah (whose inner ninja turtle called this pizza "totally awesome") and I had no problem picking up a piece and eating it. Adam on the other hand found it a little delicate and opted for knife and fork option. The durability of your crust will all depend on the weight of the toppings used.
Recipe
Incredible Squash Pizza
Equipment
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Roasting pan
- Small mixing bowl
- Large mixing bowl
- Parchment paper
- Baking tray
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mashed Butternut Squash 1 large roasted squash
- 1 cup Almond Flour if you want a nut-free pizza, try using fine cornmeal
- ¾ cup Garbanzo Flour
- ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons plus
- 1 tablespoon Ground Flax
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Toppings
- Green Pizza Sauce recipe below
- A handful of pitted Kalamata olives
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes chopped
- A couple of handfuls arugula herbs, or baby beet greens*
- Or pizza sauce and toppings of choice
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the squash for roasting. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Lay cut side down in a roasting pan and fill halfway with water. Cook in a 200°C (400°F) oven for 40 minutes to 1 hour (adding more water as needed to top up), or until a fork can easily pierce the flesh of the squash. Let cool, then scoop out the flesh.
- In a small bowl combine the 2 tablespoons of ground flax with 4 tablespoons water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a larger bowl combine 3 cups of squash with the soaked flax meal, almond flour, garbanzo flour, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and extra ground flax. Stir to combine.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined tray and create a 30 cm (12 inch) circle, making sure that the edges are a little bit thicker. Bake in a 220°C (425°F) for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are crisp and golden and the centre is set (and can peel away from the paper).
- Top with pizza sauce, tomatoes, and olives, and bake for another 10 minutes. Let sit a few minutes before garnishing with greens.

What a stunning dish! I am excited to try it.
Sally says
Great recipe thank you - really tasty and filling. I made quite a large bowl full of squash base mixture so saved half in the fridge overnight and served it the following night baked crispy topped with a spicy bean chilli.
PRANITA DESHPANDE says
Fantastic recipe.I think you have made green lawn for pizza.
Anna says
Hi Sophie! I can't wait to try this!! Do you think this would work with sweet potato instead of butternut squash?
Sophie says
totally! Just use 1 to 1 🙂
Dawn says
Amazing recipe thanks for sharing
Maariyah says
I tried this last night and the whole family loved it, such a fantastic and easy recipe. I was sceptical of the chickpea flour however tasted delicious. I topped my base with tomato sauce and vegetables. I have discovered your blog through this recipe, cannot wait to check out other recipes you have to offer.

Sophie - Wholehearted Eats says
Hey Elisha!
The flax helps it hold together. You can try replacing it with an egg if that suits you, or chia! You luck 🙂
Elisha Owen says
Hi does anyone know if I could make this minus the flax seed or substitute it for anything?
Sophie - Wholehearted Eats says
I'm so pleased you liked it!! Once cooked, I think the bases should freeze just fine. 🙂
Elizabeth Choi says
I made this and it was amazing! I plan on making it again this week, but because it made so much last time I was thinking about making personal size pizzas. Do you think I could freeze the extra dough I don't use to save for later?

Hey, sorry to hear you didn't care for the pizza. It's true, the crust does taste a lot like squash. I'm happy to hear the pesto was a hit at least. You might prefer the lastest pizza recipe (if you're looking for a gluten free crust). It's a lot easier to make and much more cost effective. All the best,
Sophie <3

So this pizza didn't turn out as I would have liked it too. It wasn't really worth all the time, effort and money for me.. I did realize I don't like the taste of butternut squash very much. The dough wasn't cooked all the way through tasting like mashed squash! It wouldn't even cook through although I baked it longer. Hmm, I liked the pesto and I definitely added mozzarella. Would I make it again? No but I had to try it.
Dina D says
Hello there from California. So, my dough is in the oven and I cant wait to eat! Im a little concerned about the dough being a bit sticky prior to putting it in the oven. I added s little extra garbonzo flour but still sticky. Also, I substituted almond flour for brown rice flour (less fat snd couldnt find it)
So, is this a concern? Hope it turn out ok after all the work! Keep you posted.

i was a little nervous about the smell of the dough after i had mixed everything. It didn't smell very appetizing. I used garbanzo flour and cornmeal like u had suggested. To my surprise after i had put on the sauce and baked it some more, it turned out SO DELICIOUS! i love it! thanks!

awesome! this turned out great. i found that with a little thicker spread of the crust and alot of the pesto turned out perfectly.... thin crust was good too but the thicker one loaded with the basil pesto was amazing!!! i had no problems with the crust sticking to the baking paper... Thanks 🙂
another good version of GF pizza is the cauliflower yam pizza.... mmmm

I'm sorry to hear about your food allergies, those can be such a pain. It's wonderful that this pizza works for your diet, I am so thrilled that I could restore pizza to your life.

I just found out I have multiple food allergies (gluten, eggs, dairy) and was so sad about not being able to have pizza. My roommate made this for me last night and it is OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing!

I made this pizza last night and it was delicious! I didn't have any garbanzo flour on hand, so experimented with substituting 1/2 cup quinoa flour and 1/4 cup brown rice flour. It worked perfectly, and the pizza wasn't too delicate to be cut into slices and eaten by hand. I topped it with kale pesto, grape tomatoes, olives, onions, and avocado. Thanks, Sophie!!

Hello Marilyn,
You're very welcome! I am glad you loved the pizza, but a little disappointed that it didn't turn out for you. I recall checking mine by (very gently) lifting the base away from the parchment. I kind of feel like this would be pretty hard to over bake, so on that note, you might want to bake it for an extra 10 minutes before adding the toppings. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Hello! I am so happy you loved the pizza, yay! I'm not too sure why it stuck, but parchment paper is one of those things that sometimes just doesn't like to behave. I don't have too much experience with using a baking stone, but I'm pretty sure that it would work well. If worse came to worse, I bet it would be easier to pry off with spatula than the parchment would. I say give it a try 🙂 You're very welcome and good luck with the experimenting!
Marilyn Lauzon says
I loved this recipe! The center of my pizza came out too soft, so I'll cook it longer than 30 minutes next time... but I'll definitely do it again and experiment with various toppings! Thanks!

Do you think I could put the squash dough directly onto my cooking stone with out the parchment paper? For some reason, my parchment paper stuck to the bottom of the crust after baking - was able to pull it off and only lose a little bit of the crust - was thinking of oiling the stone and baking directly on it?? Would love to know your thoughts! Thanks again - it was a delicious hit at home and the next day when I took it to work and shared 🙂

Thanks so much for posting this, your recipe turned out amazing! I made it a second time last night but substituted Almond Flour for Quinoa Flour and added a bit more Garbanzo and the durability was excellent. Everyone thought the consistency was identical to regular pizza crust... still can't believe it! Also experimented with an oil-free sauce which turned out really well: Juice of 1 Meyer Lemon, 1 Garlic Clove, 1 Handful of Raw Cashews, 1 Tablespoon of Raw Almond Butter, 2 Tablespoons of Low Sodium Tamari, 1 Jalapeño, 1 Handful of Spinach, and 2 Handfuls of Fresh Basil.

Thank you, Qantaqa! Sometimes garbanzo flour is labeled as Gram flour. It can often be found at Indian food markets, or even French and Spanish delicatessens. For the almond flour, just simply use finely ground almonds. Good luck finding the ingredients! And yes, proper kitchen gadgets always helps 🙂

This looks so amazing. I really wanna try it. Have to find out where to find all the ingredients (like almond or garbanzo flour, I've never seen it in shops around, but then again, I haven't tried that much gluten free stuff, yet). I assume I could make it if I had a proper kitchen machine to ground nuts and stuff.

Nora | Buttercream Fanatic says
I can't tell you how excited I am to see this posted today. I have been scouring the web trying to find a GF pizza crust for dinner tonight that doesn't involve complicated flour mixtures. This is perfect. I am going to adapt it slightly to use the flours I have on hand (I don't have chickpea), but I'm sure it's going to be phenomenal.
ilona says
did this work using other flours? I tried with wholemeal flour and it was very squidgy!
Sophie says
Hello Ilona,
Sorry the wholemeal flour didn't work. I personally didn't try it using other flours but I have a feeling all flours that contain gluten, like wholemeal, might be too stodgy.Another flour similar to almond like millet flour or cornmeal might do the trick, as well as a flour similar to chickpea (like buckwheat, oat, or rice). All the best to you xox
Cindy says
Hello there,
I saved this recipe in my bookmarks and found it today. Game Day! I eat for my Blood Type. I am O+ and my husband is AB! Ugh...night and day. He can't have chick peas, but I can....sometimes he can of course so I may just grind some chickpeas in my coffee grinder and combine it with the Almond Flour. Oat may make it too soggy. I love Butternut Squash, Acorn, and any other kind. It's comfort food for me.
Thanks for making recipes that are a bit different, but oh so so healthy and wise!
