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!

Great recipe! After looking over our previous comments in this thread, I took the advice of a few others… I added the dry grated Parmesan cheese to the crust; I also preheated a baking stone; one small amendment I made was adding an additional tablespoon of olive oil just to ensure that the crust wouldn’t be too dry and fall apart. It worked out perfectly! I rolled the dough out on parchment paper using a rolling pin! I sprayed the rolling pin slightly so it wouldn’t stick to the dough. I then picked up the parchment paper and transfer the whole thing onto the preheated baking stone and it cooked up nicely! I am wondering how you got 8 g of carbohydrates in your factoring? I used great value super fine blanched almond flour. Based on 2 1/2 cups of flour, the carb count alone would be 20 g. The rest of my toppings came to a total of approximately 4 to 5 g …totaling about 25 g of carbohydrates for the whole pizza. Which is still amazing!

Thanks Jennie! I used an online calculator. I’d definitely go with your calculations based on brands you use as well as any ingredient changes.

Nope. Didn’t hold together at all. Guess I could have put the sauce and cheese on it and ate it with a spoon but it was so dy i could swallow it.
Lisa Huff says
Hmmm it definitely shouldn’t be dry. Did you make any substitutions?
