This recipe is AMAZING!!! I was afraid it would be mushy like a black bean burger, but it was crispy and sturdy enough to pick up! I will always make this from now on!!!

I'm so very happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Pamela Sachs-Kapp says
Hi Kristen, I just found you and love your recipes. Thank you kindly for coming up with such delicious alternatives. I am gluten, dairy, tapioca, corn, sugar free. I wonder if any of your pizza crust recipes (except Quinoa that I don't like) could be made with arrowroot starch for the tapioca flour or alternative dairy cheeses instead of cheddar etc.? Thank you!
Kristen Wood says
Hi Pamela! Thank you so much for saying so. I'm so happy to hear that. 🙂 This Brown Rice Pizza Crust can be made with vegan parmesan. I am partial to the Violife brand! My Red Lentil: https://moonandspoonandyum.com/red-lentil-flatbread-gluten-free-vegan/ and my almond flour: https://moonandspoonandyum.com/butternut-squash-lentil-flatbread-pizza-crust-gluten-free/ would both be suitable choices for your diet. This is my most popular pizza recipe: https://moonandspoonandyum.com/the-best-gluten-free-pizza-crust-recipe/ and while I haven't tested it with vegan cheeses, I have received feedback that they work as a suitable replacement and it does work with arrowroot starch as well. I hope this helps! And thanks again!

Would these work to make a calzone or a pizza pocket?
Kristen Wood says
Hi Yvette,
Unfortunately I do not think that would work with this kind of pizza dough. But I have actually made pizza pockets with this dough before with great results: https://moonandspoonandyum.com/pan-de-yuca-gluten-free/. You simply roll out each dough ball into a small rectangle, add filling ingredients, top with another rectangle, press the sides together and bake at 400F for about 20 minutes. I hope this helps! -Kristen

We made this last evening and was surprised how like a real pizza crust it was! Loved it.
I am curious, have you made this without egg for the vegan members of our family. Not sure the typical egg substitutes would give it the binding and structure it needs?

Kristen Wood says
Hi Shelly - I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it! I haven't tested it with an egg substitute before, but I do think there is a possibility of it working out. The rice itself adds a fair amount of binding power when combined with a liquid. If I were to try it I would start with 3 flax eggs and add a little water if needed to get a similar consistency. If you try it, I would love to hear about it! Thanks again! 🙂
