Cross-Contamination Warning for Gluten-Free Almond Flour Pizza Crust: When preparing this baking recipe, baking powder can contain wheat starch, so pick one labeled gluten-free, along with the garlic powder and dried oregano. A pizza stone that has baked wheat crusts holds flour and crumbs in its porous surface, so keep this crust on its parchment or use a stone reserved for gluten-free baking.

2 cups blanched almond flour Shop
0.5 cup tapioca starch Shop
1 tsp baking powder Shop
1 tsp fine salt
1 tsp garlic powder Shop
1 tsp dried oregano Shop
2 large eggs
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
2 Mix almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and oregano in a bowl.
3 Add eggs and olive oil. Stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms. It will be stickier than wheat dough — this is normal.
4 Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Press or roll to a 12-inch circle, about 0.2 inches thick.
5 Slide (still on parchment) onto the hot pizza stone. Par-bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
6 Add toppings and return to oven for 8–10 minutes until cheese is bubbling and crust edges are golden brown.

Tips & Notes

If the dough is too sticky to roll, chill it for 15 minutes first.
Roll the crust evenly to 0.2 inch. Thin spots brown and burn before the center sets.
Keep toppings light and precook watery vegetables. An almond flour crust softens under wet toppings.
