Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
- For softer crust, the key to almond flour is moisture. You could add baking powder but it is a waste of time if the dough is still thick. You'd be better off adding more oil or fat to the mix or using less flour. You won't achieve the same type of pizza dough but once you bake it, it'll be exactly what you want. For example, remove 1/4 to 1/2 cup of almond flour and add 2 extra TB of oil. Place it in a pan to avoid spreading and allow it to bake that way. It'll rise this was and the dough is less dense.
- For a crispier crust, reach out and add in a a flour such as tapioca. You'll want it to bake out dry and that'll help. I haven't tested this myself but that is exactly what will do the trick from experience. I just can't give you exact measurements.
- Don't roll out too thin, if you do this removing it from the parchment paper will be a pain in the you know what.
