Healthy Almond Flour Pizza Crust Mix (paleo, Gluten Free)

Classic keto fathead pizza (the reader favorite!) and cauliflower pizza crust are still my two best low carb crust recipes, but for those that want to reduce dairy or need a paleo-friendly option, this is the best of both worlds.

Alternatively, press the almond pizza crust down with your fingers to a uniform thickness. If you find the almond flour dough too sticky for rolling or pressing, you can refrigerate it for a while which will help remedy this problem. Keep the bottom layer of parchment for the baking step so that the crust won’t stick.

Parmesan Cauliflower Pizza Crust

This recipe has been my go-to for homemade pizza nights for many, many years now and has become one of our readers’ favorite recipes here too! It’s surprisingly easy to make either by hand or with the help of a stand mixer, and only requires one 30-45 minute rise (conveniently the same amount of time it usually takes to prepare toppings plus maybe a side salad). Thanks to the use of white whole wheat flour, this crust bakes up to be wonderfully soft and chewy with a mild (not overpowering) whole wheat flavor. And best of all, our friends and family always absolutely love it!

I always use a hint of honey in the dough to give it a touch of sweetness. And if you’d like, you’re welcome to experiment with adding in some Italian seasonings, garlic or Parmesan to the crust too.

Everyone needs to have a great homemade pizza dough recipe in their back pockets. So if you’re looking for a healthier one to add to your repertoire, bring home a bag of white whole wheat flour and gather up your favorite pizza toppings. And let’s make some homemade pizzas together!

Water: I recommend double-checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the yeast will properly activate. Also, if you would like to minimize the whole wheat flavor of the crust, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of orange juice for 2 tablespoons of the water. (Thanks to King Arthur Baking for the tip!)

Whenever activating yeast, make sure to warm the water to the temperature specified on the package of your yeast. Too cold, and it will not activate fully. Too hot, and you risk killing the yeast.

In this recipe, regular whole wheat flour can be used in place of white whole wheat flour. Just note that the crust will be a little firmer and the nutty flavor of the whole wheat will be more pronounced.

In recipes with whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten adds protein which improves the softness and elasticity of whole wheat dough and helps it achieve a better rise in the oven.

Easy Healthy Pizza (20 Minutes!)

Do yourself a favor, and use a stand mixer to prepare this dough. You can move onto other tasks while the dough mixes in the background hands free.

This recipe, as it is written, is not gluten free. If you would like to experiment, you may try swapping the whole wheat flour and all purpose flour for a gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour of your choice to make a gluten free pizza dough.

A stand mixer is such a time saver, especially for homemade bread because it does all the kneading for you. It’s a great investment for anyone who loves to bake.

How To Make Cauliflower Pizza Crust

When baking with yeast, always check its expiration date prior to using. Also, make sure to measure properly and activate using water heated to the manufacturer’s recommended temperature. Your yeast should “bloom” (meaning look foamy and active). If it doesn’t, your yeast may be bad or your temperature is off.

Some whole wheat pizza doughs recipes are vegan. This one as it is written is not because it contains honey. To make this recipe vegan, you may try swapping the honey for an equal amount of granulated sugar.

Absolutely this a great pizza dough for grilling. My preferred method is to use a pizza stone on the grill to prevent the pizza from sticking. Preheat the stone directly on the grill over high heat, then use a pizza peel to slide the assembled pizza onto it. Cover and cook.

Since whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture than all-purpose flour, you will need to add additional water to the recipe to keep the dough from being dry. Note that your dough will be more dense (but if this is OK with you, it’s OK with me!). This whole wheat pizza crust uses a blend of half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour for the best of both worlds.
