Sweet Potato Crust Pizza with Prosciutto, Fig, and Goat Cheese

This sweet potato crust pizza is easy to make and unlike other alternative pizza crust options, it will hold up to the toppings you put on it. Perfect for being indulgent without all the guilt!

I ate cheese today, and it was worth it. I firmly believe in not being so firm on everything, and if you know me, you know pizza gets a pretty high priority in my life. So when I made this quiche with a sweet potato crust, and had the idea to turn the crust into a pizza, there was no stopping me.

I've tried a lot of paleo pizza crusts in the past. I've never fallen in love with any of them. But this sweet potato crust pizza, my friends, is love. This is my paleo pizza soulmate.

My paleo pizza crust struggle is that nothing ever holds together well enough to pick it up and eat it like a pizza. They all fall apart, and require a fork and knife, and then we've just lost the whole pizza experience, have we not?

This one here, though, this one stays together.

When you're forming the  sweet potato crust, make sure you press it out into a thin layer. If it's too thick, it won't crisp up. After you bake it the first time, you're going to carefully take the parchment paper that it's on, and carefully turn it out onto the pizza stone or pan.

You'll want to do this quickly to keep it in one piece. Baking it again after flipping, without the parchment paper, is where it will really firm up.

Add your toppings, bake, and then let cool for about 5 minutes. (You can omit the cheese if you want to, but I don't recommend it. It's one of those "scaleo" things that falls in the worth it category.)

Just before serving it, sprinkle it with a pinch of salt. Slice, then pick it up with your hands and eat it!
