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.

FAQs
Absolutely! If you par-bake in the oven the pizza bases can be stored in a ziplock bag and kept frozen for up to 3 months (or longer).
Using this gluten free pizza base recipe simply swap the almond meal for sesame flour or use a sunflour meal and pepita meal mix instead.
Ways to Serve Almond Flour Pizza Crust
Firstly you need to make our very delicious Keto Marinara Pizza Sauce. It is so fresh and delicious and is certainly my favourite sugar free pizza sauce recipe.
For delicious keto pizza toppings let your imagination (and keto food lists) be your guide. If you want a tuna mornay pizza go for it! But here are my favourite toppings
- Cheese – it has to include a few varieties,s not just mozzarella
