Start by placing a pizza stone in the oven. Turn the heat up to 450 F and preheating the stone. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the arrowroot starch, coconut flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Next, in a small pot over medium heat, warm up the coconut milk, butter, water and garlic. Remove the pot from the heat when the ingredients just begin to simmer.

Add the hot liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to combine. Allow the mix to cool a bit.

      Mine turned out okay- It was soft, not mushy though! But if you want a harder crust, cook for 10-12 minutes. Then take it out and add all your toppings and place it back in the oven to cook for another 10-15. Also make sure you’re allowing the batter to sit and thicken for at least 5 mins prior to spreading/placing in the oven :)
