3 Ingredient Almond Flour Pizza Crust (V, Oil-free)
Make pizza night extra easy with my 3-ingredient almond flour pizza crust! It is vegan, oil-free, gluten-free, grain-free and yeast-free. Make the dough in minutes and press into place (no rolling required).
Servings: 1 12-inch (30 cm) crust (8 slices)
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup 175 mL water
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons 7.5 g whole psyllium husks
- 2 cups 208 g finely ground almond flour
- 2.25 teaspoons baking powder
- Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190 C). Lightly spray a 12 inch (30 cm) pizza pan (or a baking sheet) with nonstick cooking spray (alternatively, use a piece of parchment paper, cut to fit.).
- In a glass measuring cup or bowl, combine the water and psyllium husk until blended. Lwet stand 1 to 2 minutes to form a thick gel.
- In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, baking powder and optional salt.
- Add the psyllium gel to the flour mixture. Use a rubber/silicone spatula, a wooden spoon, or clean hands to mix the dough until completely combined. The dough will be moist and pliable. Shape it into a flattened disk.
- Evenly press the dough onto the prepared baking pan, pressing to the edges of the pizza pan (if using a baking sheet, press out to 10.5 inch square).
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the surface of the dough looks dry and is slightly darker in color (crust should be completely baked).
- Top with desired toppings. Return pizza to oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes longer or until toppings are melted/browned and edge of crust is browned and crispy.
- Transfer pizza to a cutting board and cut into slices.
Notes
Storage: Completely cool any leftover pizza to room temperature. Store in an airtight container (easier if you slice the pieces) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Rewarm in the oven, toaster oven or air fryer.
Use Very Fine Almond Flour: For best results, be sure to use finely ground almond flour, not almond meal. Almond meal is more coarsely ground and will result in a denser crust.
Tip: For an easy cheese topping option, try my 5-ingredient Vegan Mozzarella.
Psyllium Husk Powder in place of Whole Psyllium Husks:
Use the same weight (7.5 grams), which is 2.5 teaspoons of psyllium powder.
Chia & Flax: Neither chia seeds nor flax work as subs dor the psyllium in this recipe.
