INGREDIENTS
- 200g blanched almond flour (or 100g coconut flour)
- 2 scoops protein powder (unflavoured)
- 4 tbsp psyllium husk powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- 1 tbsp Italian spices
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs (4 eggs for coconut flour)
- 1 cup boiling water
- Butter or coconut oil (for brushing)
- Toppings of your choice
Yields 6 slices
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to
190°C (190°C Fan)
- Combine all dry ingredients and mix until blended
- Add eggs and mix until well combined
- Add boiling water and mix until dough thickens and start to
stick to beaters
- Place ball on greased baking sheet. Spray a piece of
parchment with oil and place on top of the dough to help spread without
sticking.
- Use a rolling pin or your hands to spread the dough into a 16
inch round. Dough will raise 2-3 times its size so make the thickness one third
of what you want the final pizza to be (eg. a ¼ inch thick crust is about ⅛
inch or less thickness)
- Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes
- Remove crust from oven and brush with butter of coconut oil
and return to oven
- Broil for 3-8 minutes or until crust is crisp. Start the
broil with it flipped over to crisp the bottom and then flip over and broil the
top
- Add topping and broil for another 5-10 mins until cheese is
melted and starts to brown
- Take it out and let it cool for 5 mins
- Serve and enjoy!
