How to Make Low Carb Pizza Crust
Step 1 Whisk together the egg, water, and olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 2 Combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, parmesan cheese, and baking powder. Slowly incorporate the first bowl of ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Step 3 Grease two sheets of parchment. Use the parchment paper to help you roll the dough out because it can be a little sticky. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circular shape with a rolling pin. Take the top parchment paper off and lift the bottom parchment paper off onto a sheet pan.
Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp around the edges. Allow to cool about 20 minutes to form a crunchy crust. Top with toppings and place back in the oven or broiler for a few minutes to cook the toppings. Makes 8 slices.
