Almond Flour Pizza Dough

A while ago I gave myself a quest to make an easy keto almond flour pizza crust that actually tasted good. I already have an amazing keto fathead recipe for pizza, but I wanted this to be a dairy free pizza crust recipe. Using a handful of grain free ingredients this keto and paleo pizza crust is perfect! You will love how it is light and crispy and holds firm with all your favourite pizza toppings.

This recipe is originally featured in our new cookbook The Healthy Family Keto Cookbook.

Almond Flour Pizza Crust Ingredients

  • Almond meal – use blanched almond flour or almond meal. I have not tested with other nut or seed flours.
  • Sesame seeds or hemp seeds – I use the seeds to add flavour and to help absorb the moisture from the eggs.
  • Eggs – use room temperature eggs to avoid any eggy flavour to the base

Notes

Low Carb Pizza Crust Ingredients
  • Almond meal – use blanched almond flour or almond meal. I have not tested with other nut or seed flours.
  • Sesame seeds or hemp seeds – I use the seeds to add flavour and to help absorb the moisture from the eggs.
  • Eggs – use room temperature eggs to avoid any eggy flavour to the base.
  • Oil – use coconut oil, MCT oil, extra virgin olive oil or light taste avocado oil.
  • Xanthan gum – helps to hold the almond pizza crust together. I do not recommend leaving it out.
Storing
These keto pizza bases can be par-baked and kept in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen individually.
For a nut-free low carb pizza swap the almond meal for sesame flour.
