Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1/4 cup tapioca starch

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 large egg

• Optional seasonings: garlic powder, dried herbs, or grated Parmesan cheese

  
  

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   
   

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt.

   
   

3. Add olive oil and egg to the dry ingredients, mixing well to form a uniform dough. If needed, add a teaspoon of water at a time to achieve the desired consistency.

   
   

4. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a second sheet of parchment paper.

   
   

5. Roll out the dough between the parchment sheets until it reaches a 12-inch round shape. Remove the top parchment sheet and discard.

   
   

6. For a golden-brown crust, brush the surface with olive oil or beaten egg before baking. Optionally, sprinkle with garlic powder, dried herbs, or grated Parmesan cheese.

   
   

7. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings.

   
   

8. Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and golden brown.

   
   

Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with your favorite pizza toppings, such as tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil for a classic Margherita pizza.

Tips

• To prevent sticking, make sure to roll the dough between parchment sheets and bake on parchment paper.

  
  

• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes before adding pizza toppings and returning to the oven.
