2½cupsMozzarella cheeseshredded

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, coconut oil, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
Once the mixture is boiling, turn off the heat and quickly add garlic powder and tapioca flour to the saucepan. Stir together with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. The dough will feel a bit gummy and won’t look like regular pizza dough; that’s perfectly normal!
Set the saucepan away from heat and cool the dough mixture for 5 minutes.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, add eggs. If needed, stir with a wooden spoon to combine, using your hands to knead the egg into the mixture.
Add coconut flour to the mixture, kneading the dough for about 4 minutes until it feels more like regular dough.
Knead dough into a large, smooth ball and place it on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Using a rolling pin (and hopefully an extra pair of helping hands!), roll out the dough until it spans your entire baking sheet. This dough can be spread extremely thin; the thinner, the better. Don’t worry about any small holes or transparency in the dough. It will be crispier that way.
Bake dough for 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the dough is slightly crisp to the touch.
While the dough bakes, take all vegetable toppings (except for fresh basil leaves, if using) and toss them in olive oil, seasoning to taste with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Remove dough from the oven and spread fire-roasted tomato puree over the dough, all the way up to the edge of the crust.
Top tomato sauce with cheese and other toppings.
Return pizza to oven and broil for 10 minutes, occasionally checking to make sure toppings don’t burn.
Remove pizza from the oven and garnish immediately with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy!
