Keto style pizza crust made with almond flour (with nut-free substitution) that is simple and delicious. Recipe makes 2 – 8″ low-carb, grain-free pizza crusts.

Those of you who love to bake with almond flour as much as I do will want to try this low-carb pizza crust recipe. I really hope you enjoy it as much as our family!

The first time I made it, I noticed that no one seemed to miss wheat-based pizza crust in the slightest. This coming from an entire family of huge pizza lovers.

You may be surprised to experience that this almond flour pizza is so very filling. I can only eat one-quarter of a pizza at one time (2 slices).

If you make the crust with freshly ground flour (learn how to make almond flour at the link), it is even more filling than when you make it with store-bought blanched or natural versions. The reason is that homemade is more nutritious, which signals the brain that you are full faster.

The biggest bonus is that it tastes positively gourmet from mixing the parmesan cheese and herbs into the crust!

Preparation Suggestions

If you are sensitive to oxalates or otherwise avoiding nuts, the best low-oxalate flour substitute that is also keto is sunflower seed flour.

It will give you the closest taste and consistency to almond flour, in my opinion, having tried a variety of different alternatives.

The most digestible way to prepare seeds is by soaking or sprouting them prior to milling them into flour. I don’t recommend a grain grinder, as seeds are a bit too oily for these appliances, but a simple coffee grinder works great!

For toppings, I recommend this one-minute, no cook pizza sauce recipe.

More Healthy Pizza Crust Recipes

If you would like to try some other pizza crust variations, try this coconut flour pizza crust recipe or perhaps a sprouted einkorn flour pizza crust.

If you are avoiding wheat, try this homemade gluten-free pizza crust instead.

This recipe for breakfast pizza is fun to try too on the mornings when eggs and bacon seem run of the mill.

Author Sarah Pope

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups almond flour or sunflower seed flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tbl expeller pressed coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano preferably organic
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder preferably organic
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil preferably organic
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, preferably organic
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Beat eggs slightly with Parmesan cheese and coconut oil. Add herbs and flour and mix until well blended dough.

  2. Form 2 small pizzas on a large, greased pizza pan. Grease your hands lightly so that the dough doesn't stick and press it out until you have 2 thin pizza crusts about 8" across.

  3. Bake at 425 °F/218 °C for 10 minutes or until crusts are slightly browned on the edges. Note: this grain free, almond flour pizza crust does not expand while baking.

  4. Remove from oven. Cool slightly. Add homemade pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese and bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese well melted.

Recipe Notes

Feel free to substitute fresh basil and oregano for the dried. If using fresh herbs, use 1.5 teaspoons each.

The best nut-free substitute for almond flour is sunflower seed flour.

    “an entire family of huge pizza lovers”. If they’re huge lovers of pizza shouldn’t they be eating less pizza?

      If you make it yourself, it can be very healthy and a regular on the menu! No one is overweight, so I guess we are doing something right.

    I can’t eat dairy of any kind or amount. I read through all the comments and saw several other people asking about either leaving out the Parmesan or substituting something. I’m sure it does contribute to the taste everyone is loving so I would love to know if anyone has tried the recipe without any parmesan or with a substitution such as nutritional yeast or anything else (it’s the only substitution I know—LOVE nutritional yeast on popcorn with a pinch of salt but not by itself sprinkled on top of an entree—just doesn’t add to the taste that way for me). Almond flour, almonds, and nutritional yeast are all a bit pricy so if it’s been tried I would love to see a comment on the outcome!

    This tastes incredible! Very tender. So glad that I found this.
    The dough is very sticky and I found that I preferred to just use dampened fingers to press it out. Worked well for me.
    And yes, it is very filling! Thank you for an amazing non-grain pizza recipe.

    Can you freeze the crust after baking? It’s just me and my husband so I dont think we could eat that much in one sitting.

      I’ve never frozen it to know for sure, but it would probably be fine.

    But almonds are not sustainable as a crop. They require way too much water, especially when they’re grown in California where water is scarce and they are heavy sprayed with insecticides/pesticides.

      That’s a good point as conventional almonds are killing bees big time. Be sure to buy only organic almonds from sustainable producers. You can easily find sustainable almonds same as many other crops that are primarily unsustainably produced like corn, palm oil etc. Vett your sources then you can eat foods that you love without any concerns.
