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)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and protein powder in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the warm water with the active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy.
  4. Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to the flour mixture.
  5. Toss in the eggs and olive oil, and mix well to form a consistent dough.
  6. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of warm water. Conversely, if it’s too wet, sprinkle in some additional almond flour.
  7. Add salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Give everything one last thorough mix.
  8. Spread the dough on a pizza stone or a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into your desired pizza crust thickness.
  9. Bake the Low Carb High Protein Pizza Crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Remove, add your desired toppings (keeping them light and healthy, of course), and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
  11. 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!
