Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 30 mins
Total Time 45 mins
- 4 Tbsp ground flax seeds
- 9 Tbsp water
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch or arrowroot
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- ½ cup almond milk or other milk alternative
- 1 Tbsp olive or coconut oil melted
- ½ tsp cider vinegar
In a small saucepan, combine flax meal and water. Bring to a simmer, cooking until mixture is thick. Set aside and allow to cool.
Combine remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a large measuring cup combine wet ingredients, then pour into large bowl along with flax mixture. Whisk until well blended.
Divide mixture in half and spread in 2 8” circles on a parchment lined baking sheet (greased with oil and sprinkled with a bit of cornmeal if desired – this will prevent sticking as well a giving the crust a crunchy bottom). If mixture is too runny, spread into pie plates (prepared the same as above using parchment).
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and add pizza sauce and toppings, and bake for an additional 20 minutes until crust is golden and toppings are hot.
