Authentic Venezuelan Cassava Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups cassava flour (Gluten-free alternative)
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (For dough and greasing)
  • 1 cup shredded pork (Cooked and seasoned)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (Shredded)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce (For spreading)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano (For flavor)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (Sliced, optional topping)
  • 1 cup onions (Sliced, optional topping)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine cassava flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

    Knead the dough for about 5 minutes for better texture.
  2. Shape the Pizza Base

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to form a pizza base.

    Make the base as thick or thin as you prefer.
  3. Pre-bake the Base

    Transfer the shaped dough onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until slightly firm.

    Check to avoid overbaking; it should be light golden.
  4. Add Toppings

    Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pre-baked base. Top with shredded pork, mozzarella cheese, and optional vegetables.

    Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings.
  5. Bake the Pizza

    Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Keep an eye on the edges to prevent burning.
  6. Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
