My husband loves this low carb and keto pizza crust and whenever he is cutting his carbs he asks for it. It can be dairy free depending on the topping you add to this paleo friendly pizza. I hope you like it as much as we do and you can find more great recipes like this in our book Mediterranean Paleo Cooking.
Low Carb Pizza Crust
Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 25 mins| Yield: 1 (12-inch) pizza crust
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups blanched almond flour ( order here)
1/4 cup ground flax seeds (order here)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (order here)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt (order here)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (order here)
2 large eggs, beaten (order here)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle of the rack of the oven.
- Place the almond flour, flax seeds, olive oil, salt, pepper, and eggs in a large bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Set the dough on a large sheet of parchment paper and press it into a circle that’s about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Place it on a baking sheet or pizza stone, still on the parchment paper.
- Bake the crust for 15 minutes and remove from the oven. Add toppings of choice and bake for 10 minutes, until golden brown.
