Ingredients

  • Almond flour: 2 cups 480 grams
  • Coconut flour: 1/4 cup 60 grams
  • Unflavored protein powder: 1/3 cup 80 grams
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Warm water: 1/2 cup 120 ml
  • Active dry yeast: 1 packet about 2 1/4 teaspoons or 11 grams
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon 2.5 grams
  • Garlic powder optional: 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams)
  • Dried oregano optional: 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and protein powder in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the warm water with the active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy.
  • Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to the flour mixture.
  • Toss in the eggs and olive oil, and mix well to form a consistent dough.
  • If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of warm water. Conversely, if it’s too wet, sprinkle in some additional almond flour.
  • Add salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Give everything one last thorough mix.
  • Spread the dough on a pizza stone or a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into your desired pizza crust thickness.
  • Bake the Low Carb High Protein Pizza Crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove, add your desired toppings (keeping them light and healthy, of course), and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Once done, let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and indulging!

Notes

If you’re not a fan of coconut flour, you can replace it with more almond flour. Adjust the consistency with water or almond flour as needed.
Feel free to get creative with seasonings – think basil, rosemary, or even a dash of chili flakes for a kick!
While this Low Carb High Protein Pizza Crust is designed for pizza, it can also work as a base for flatbreads or other savory baked goodies. Experiment and enjoy!
