►INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups almond flour (not almond meal)

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

►DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and prep 2 pieces of parchment paper the size of a baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, add almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, yeast, baking soda and salt. Whisk well. Add olive oil.
3. In another small bowl, whisk the eggs and add to the bowl with flour and oil. Mix well with spatula until pizza dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough onto parchment paper, form a ball, flatten a bit and cover with another piece of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out into a round pizza crust about 11 inch (28 cm) diameter. I found this was a perfect thickness but you can make it a bit thinner 12 inch (30 cm) or thicker 10 inch (25 cm). Using your hands, shape the edges so there is a bit of "a lip".
5. Transfer the crust on a piece of parchment paper onto baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown on a middle rack. Your pre-baked crust is ready.
6. To make pizza, spread thin layer of favorite pizza sauce (I used marinara) and sprinkle with favorite toppings ( I used 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese). I recommend not to overload your pizza, so it doesn't become soggy. High water content veggies like mushrooms, zucchini and overall any veggies are best to be pre-cooked (skillet or air fryer), so they do not make crust soggy and come out cooked (we do not bake pizza for long).
7. Return pizza to the oven and bake for another 4 minutes or until cheese is bubbly on a middle rack. You can broil it (like I did) but I recommend to cover the edges with foil as almond flour burns fast!
8. Allow pizza to set for a few minutes, cut into 8 slices and enjoy!
🍕Store: You can refrigerate leftover baked pizza in an airtight container for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate prebaked pizza crust wrapped in plastic wrap for 3 days and add toppings after.
🍕Freeze: You can freeze leftover pizza slices in an airtight container or a resealable Ziploc bag for up to 3 months. If you would like to freeze the crust, I highly recommend to freeze the prebaked pizza crust (vs. the uncooked) wrapped in a plastic wrap for 3 months. Thaw on a counter for 2 hours, the add toppings and bake as per recipe.
