Description

Imagine a pizza experience where the crust is satisfyingly crisp, yet tender, forming the perfect base for vibrant, fresh toppings. This flatbread pizza recipe crafts a delightful alternative to traditional dough, focusing on simplicity and flavor. The crust, made from a blend of almond flour, olive oil, and egg, creates a surprisingly sturdy foundation that doesn't compromise on taste.

The almond flour lends a subtle nutty sweetness, complemented by the richness of olive oil, resulting in a crust that is both flavorful and texturally pleasing. It offers a delightful alternative for those seeking to avoid dairy, without sacrificing the comforting experience of enjoying a slice of pizza. The resulting crust is crisp on the edges, soft in the middle, and ready to carry an array of your favorite pizza toppings.

To capture the essence of a classic margherita, this recipe uses a combination of juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil leaves, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, and a touch of olive oil. The sweetness of the tomatoes combines with the peppery notes of fresh basil, while the balsamic vinegar provides a tangy counterpoint that elevates the overall flavor profile. A final drizzle of olive oil adds richness and ties all the elements together.

Feel free to explore a variety of other toppings! Consider adding sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, roasted bell peppers, or your preferred cheese alternative. The dough requires chilling for at least an hour, allowing the ingredients to fully meld and creating a more manageable texture for rolling.

This step is essential for achieving a crisp and stable crust. The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, offering flexibility in meal planning. For even greater convenience, the dough can be prepared in advance and frozen, making it a breeze to enjoy a homemade flatbread pizza whenever the craving strikes.

Simply thaw the dough before rolling and baking. Enjoy the satisfaction of a homemade pizza that caters to your preferences, delivering a harmonious blend of flavors and textures with every bite.

Instructions

    1.
    In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, olive oil, egg, and salt until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a piece of plastic wrap. Use the plastic wrap to knead the dough until the egg is fully incorporated. Shape the dough into a flat rectangle, wrap it tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days.
    2.
    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Roll the chilled dough out into a 6x12 inch rectangle between two pieces of parchment paper. Transfer the flatbread dough, still on the parchment paper, to a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the crust begins to firm up.
    3.
    Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Arrange approximately 2 thin slices of tomato per serving on the crust. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano. Add chopped fresh basil, followed by drizzles of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. At your discretion, include any additional keto-friendly toppings you like. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 17 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through and the crust is golden brown. Let the pizza cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into 2 triangular pieces per serving.
