Almond Flour Pizza Crust
This almond flour pizza crust is light and crispy, just like authentic Italian pizza. The crust is ready in just 10 minutes!

- 3 tbspwhey protein powder (20g)
- ½ tspxanthan gum
- ½ tspbaking powder

- garlic powder

Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425F / 220C electric or 390F / 200C fan.
- 2
Add all of the dry ingredients to mixing bowl and mix. Then add wet ingredients and fold with spatula to combine.
- 3
Use your hands to knead and then roll into a ball of dough. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
- 4
Roll the dough between 2 sheets parchment paper to about 13 inches in diameter.

Now you lift off the top parchment paper and roll the outer edges in to form an outer crust. The pizza is now about 12 inches. Place the dough (still on the bottom sheet of greaseproof paper) onto a pizza tray.

Bake for 3-4 minutes until the edges are slightly golden and crisp. The thicker you roll the dough, the longer it will take to crisp.

Add your toppings of choice - I added tomato sauce, pepperoni and cheese. Place under the grill / broiler for about 4 - 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Optional: To prevent the outer crust from becoming too dark, protect it by covering it with a ring of aluminium foil.
