Almond Flour Pizza Crust Recipe

This keto-friendly pizza crust recipe uses almond flour, making it an excellent choice for those on low-carb, keto, or gluten-free diets. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour (blanched is preferred for a smoother texture)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (improves texture and rise)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• Optional herbs and seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, etc.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, salt, and any optional seasonings you wish to include.
3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the middle of your dry ingredients. Pour in the eggs, oil, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until you form a cohesive dough. Note: This will be slightly stickier and softer than conventional pizza dough.
4. Shape the Crust: Lay the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. With a rolling pin, shape the dough into your preferred pizza form, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
5. Pre-Bake the Crust: Move the rolled dough (keeping the bottom parchment sheet) to a baking sheet or pizza pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes in the preheated oven until the crust turns a light golden color and feels firm. Pre-baking ensures the crust doesn’t get soggy once you add the toppings.
6. Add Toppings and Bake: Once you’ve dressed your pizza with your favorite toppings, return it to the oven. Bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese becomes bubbly and golden.

Notes:

• Customize the crust seasonings to complement your choice of toppings.
• For a crispier outcome, raise the oven temperature and shorten the second baking duration. However, keep a close eye on it to prevent over browning.

This almond flour crust offers a delightful, gluten-free twist on traditional pizza dough, making it versatile for various topping combinations. Enjoy!
