  • Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and optional seasonings (if using). Gradually add the dry mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  • Shape the Dough
    Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll it out to your desired thickness. For a crispier crust, roll it thinner.

  • Pre-Bake the Crust
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough (still on the parchment paper) onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
  • Add Toppings and Bake Again
    Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Notes

  • Keep the dough manageable: If the dough becomes difficult to handle, pop it back in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it.
  • Adjust baking time: Keep an eye on the crust while baking, as oven temperatures can vary. You want a golden and firm texture before adding toppings.
  • Prevent sticking: Rolling the dough between two sheets of parchment paper prevents it from sticking and makes it easier to transfer.
