Instructions

- Add the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, spices, and egg to the melted cheese. Mix all together, it might be easier to use your hands. Form the dough into a ball.

Be sure to poke holes in the dough before baking.
If the dough is too sticky to work with, put a little olive oil on your hands.
Keto pizza crust can be frozen either before or after baking.
Once the pizza has been assembled and baked, it will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
To reheat – place in the microwave for 30 seconds, or in the oven at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes.
