    Tips for Making the Best Almond Flour Pizza Crust

    • Adding the yeast is optional and won’t help the dough rise since almond flour doesn’t contain gluten, but it will give the crust a more classic flavor.
    • When adding toppings, be aware that using veggies will make the crust soggy since they release water during baking.

    Which Flour is Best for Low-Carb Pizza Crust?

    Almond flour is a great low-carb ingredient that’s also gluten-free. Those who want to cut out gluten and carbs will delight in the fact that almond flour can easily do both.

    What are the Most Popular Pizza Toppings?

    There are so many options when it comes to pizza toppings! The most popular are meats like sausage, pepperoni, and beef. Vegetables like onions, mushrooms, and black olives are a close second.

    There are a lot of fun toppings nowadays that people like to add to their pizza, such as kimchi, pineapple, and artichokes.

    Ingredients Substitutions

    • If you want to add a slight sweetness to the crust, you can use coconut oil in place of the olive oil.
    • If you’re not a fan of marinara or pizza sauce, you can opt for a gluten-free alfredo sauce as well.
    • Mix and match the toppings so that the pizza is different each time you make it.
