Almond Crust Pizza
Yields: 6 servings Prep Time: 0 hours 5 mins Total Time: 0 hours 20 mins

Ingredients

Dry:
1 1/2 c. almond flour
3/4 c. grated Parmesan
1 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. dried oregano
Pinch of salt

Wet:
1 tbsp. garlic, minced
2 eggs
3 tbsp. olive oil (or avocado oil)

For pizza:
1/3 c. almond flour (for dusting)
1 c. shredded mozzarella
1 tomato, sliced

For garnish:
Fresh basil
Red pepper flakes

Directions

Set oven to 400°.
Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, beat together the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir and fold everything together. If the batter is too wet, simply add teaspoons of almond flour until it thickens.
Pro-tip: Let the batter rest for a few minutes in the fridge. Add a few tablespoons of almond flour to a clean countertop. Knead the dough, folding and re-folding, adding tablespoons of almond flour until the dough is no longer sticky.
Add the dough to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Carefully spread out the dough in the form of a circle or rectangle (or your desired shape).
Bake in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes until the edges of the pizza are lightly browned. Be careful of over-baking – the longer you bake it, the crispier it will be upon cooling. Remove the pizza from the oven.
Add the cheese and the tomato slices. Bake in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and lightly browned. Remove from the oven.
Garnish and enjoy!
