Popcorn Crust for Pizza Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

A fun, gluten-free pizza crust made from popcorn, perfect for a crunchy and unique twist on traditional pizza.

Ingredients

• 8 cups popped popcorn (plain, no butter or salt)
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Your favorite pizza toppings

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, pulse the popcorn until it resembles coarse crumbs. You should have about 2 cups of popcorn crumbs.
3. In a large bowl, combine the popcorn crumbs, beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a 12-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Use your hands or a spatula to shape it evenly.
5. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, until golden and firm.
6. Remove from oven and spread pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and add toppings.
7. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder or red pepper flakes to the crust mixture.
• Store leftover crust (without toppings) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• This crust is best enjoyed fresh, but you can reheat slices in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
