This Almond Flour Pizza Crust is an easy low carb and gluten-free pizza option. Since my almond flour recipes have been so popular lately I thought I’d share this one with you as well. This almond flour pizza crust is based on my almond flour biscuit recipe (Gluten Free Cheddar Bay Biscuits) which is an easy gluten-free biscuit recipe.
Where to Buy Almond Flour:
So before we get started on almond flour recipes and this almond flour pizza crust, let’s talk about almond flour. Almond flour is finely ground almonds. I know a lot of people wonder how to make almond flour at home. You can make your own in a food processor, but it’s tough to get the almonds as finely ground as commercial almond flours that you can buy.
Almond flour is widely available now in many large grocery stores and specialty grocery stores. You can also find it on Amazon and Costco.

How to Make Almond Flour Pizza Crust:
Ok let’s get started on this Almond Flour Pizza Crust. Before you get started, be sure to preheat your oven so it’s ready to go when your crust is done.
Like I mentioned I based this on my almond flour biscuit recipe. In a mixing bowl, mix together the almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Then stir in the cooled melted butter and eggs and stir until combined.
Press the dough on the bottom of a greased cast iron pan. I used shortening to grease the pan but you could also use oil. Make sure the dough is flat and even. I used a 10-inch cast iron pan but you could use one slightly smaller or larger.
Bake the crust at the bottom of your oven, for about 12-15 minutes or until browned around the edges. I like baking the crust toward the bottom of the oven so that the bottom is crispy.
Then remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza or tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings and place back in the oven for a few minutes until cheese has melted.
Once your pizza is done, you can cut out slices using a sharp knife. You might need to use some kind of spatula, fork, etc. or something for that first piece to get out. Then the rest of the slices should come out a lot easier.
If you’d like a more soft crust, I’d suggest baking the pizza crust more in the middle of the oven and for slightly less time.
You can make this pizza any way you’d like. I like to chop up fresh herbs like basil, Italian parsley, or oregano for the top.
You can also add other dried herbs and spices to the crust itself.
Just for the record, this crust is great, but it will never compare to pizza crust with yeast and flour. You just can’t get that kind of consistency and chewiness with almond flour. Sad I know, but this Almond Flour Pizza Crust is a great substitute so don’t worry!

Notes
Janet says
This is second time I am sharing my feedback.
First time I used little baking soda ( you didn’t mention it in your recipe) so the pizza was very good
Second time today I forgot to use baking soda it became more crust and delicious then last time .
I think that’s why you didn’t mention about baking soda in the recipe.
Anyway I really enjoyed both times
I hope everyone could find your recipe who is doing keto.
Thanks again
Great job 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks Janet!!

I tried many recipes but this is best one.
I never like forehead pizza but I used to make ( had no choice ) just wanted to have keto pizza
But this is best I ever had since I am in keto.
I don’t have to use mozzarella in the dough.
Thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Carolyn Morgan says
The best keto crust I have ever made. It was actually very good..I added olives, pepperoni and mushrooms. So, so good. It’s was so high in fat and filling that I really didn’t have an appetite for the rest of the day. Definitely a keeper.
Lisa Huff says
Awww thank you! :)
Dennis says
I’m just curious as to why you need to bake the crust first, then put the toppings on it and then put it back in the oven? Are you able to roll out the dough, put toppings on, and then bake it (kinda like a normal pizza)?
Lisa Huff says
If you spread it thin enough you probably could. I just like to bake it first to make sure it’s fully cooked through.
