Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour ((I use blanched superfine almond flour))
- ½ cup tapioca starch
- 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
Wet ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons nondairy yogurt or you can also use coconut cream, (or cashew cream or thick oatmilk)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ cup nondairy milk such as almond milk (light coconut or oat milk)
Method
- In a bowl mix all dry ingredients really well
- Press and mix to break all the almond flour lumps. Then add in the non-dairy yogurt, oil then 1/3 cup non-dairy milk and mix well. The batter will be pretty thick.
- Add in the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time to make into pancake like batter. You don’t want the batter to be too thin otherwise it will make a really thin crust pizza
- Line a baking sheet with parchment then spoon half of this batter onto the baking sheet then spread using large spoon to make a round or oval.
- Once the batter is spread, even it out. if it’s too thick in the middle, you can spread the batter from middle outwards to keep the center thin.
- Then cover it with another parchment paper lightly, it might stick in some places which is fine.
- Then put the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425F (220c). (if you’re using a thin metal baking sheet, line the baking sheet with 2 parchment sheets. Almond flour can brown really easily so you don’t want it to get sudden heat from a thin metal baking sheet)
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crust and your baking sheet.
- Remove this crust from the oven then top it with topping of choice, sauces, veggies, cheese etc toppings of choice.
- Add toppings to this crust which will require less than 15 minutes of bake time in the oven. Because the crust will start to brown too much after 15 mins
- After adding the toppings and cheese and whatever you like, put it back in the oven at 400F (205 c) for 8-12 minutes, depending on the toppings.
- Then start the broiler for the cheese to melt for 2-4 minutes, depends on the cheese and thickness of toppings.
- Then remove from oven, let it sit for a few minutes then slice and serve! Repeat for the remaining batter Store in the fridge for upto 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave
