Description

Low carb pizza crust, can it be true?! And guess what? It isn't made with stinkin cauliflower! Hooray! All you do is mix all the ingredients and spread out the dough onto a baking sheet.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large Egg (Whole)
  • 1/4 cup Tap Water
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 cups Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

Optional add-ins: 

  • 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the egg, water, and olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, parmesan cheese, and baking powder.  Slowly incorporate the first bowl of ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  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.
  4. 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.
