How to make keto pizza crust with almond flour

Please see the Recipe Card and video for detailed instructions on making low-carb pizza crust.

• Firstly, combine the dry ingredients.
• Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix.
• Roll into ball of dough.
• Place on parchment paper.
• Place another sheet of parchment paper over the ball of dough.
• Use a rolling pin or, for example, a wine bottle, and roll the dough into a 10- or 12-inch circle, depending on how thick you want the crust to be. You can also roll it into a rectangular shape if you plan to bake it on a rectangular baking sheet.
• Remove the top layer of parchment paper.
• Shape the edges as described in the video.
• Pick up the parchment paper with the pizza crust on it and put it on a baking pan.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 F until the top is golden brown.
• Remove from oven and put toppings on it.
• To melt any cheese you might be using, put the pizza back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. I don’t, however, recommend broiling it since you might burn the crust, so just bake it.
