About this recipe
Ever since I was a kid pizza was my favourite meal. When I first lived on my own, I had one rule: I could eat as much pizza as I wanted as long as I made it myself. From scratch. I got good really fast at making the classic yeast dough.
When I stopped eating wheat flour one of the first things I tried were keto pizzas, with mixed results. Cauliflower dough? Nope. Mozzarella-almond mix? Better! But this dough is the closest in texture as I can get to the original pizza dough. Try it for yourself!
I usually make two pizzas out of this recipe and use different toppings on each, like the Tomato Mozzarella Sauce instead of pesto. Serve it with a large mixed salad and keep left-overs in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to four days.
Pizza
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 3-4 tbsp psyllium husk powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 tsp vinegar
Toppings
- 2 tbsp basil pesto
- 30 g mushrooms
- 1 small red onion
- 100 g Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Mix the ground almonds, psyllium husk and baking powder in a large bowl.
- Mix the boiling water and the vinegar in a glass. Let it cool off a bit!
- Pour most (but not all) of the water-vinegar mix over the dry ingredients and mix everything with a spatula. Only use your hands to knead once the dough is cool enough. Knead until you get a smooth and wet-feeling dough. Add a bit more of the water-vinegar mix if necessary. Knead for at least 10min.
- Leave the dough to rest for 10 more minutes.
- Slice up the mushrooms and the peeled onion.
- If you prefer a firmer base, like me, pre-heat the oven to 220℃. Roll the dough out flat in-between two sheets of baking paper. Put it on a baking tray and bake it for 5min.
- Take the dough out of the oven and spread the pesto on it.
- Top it with the mushrooms. Sprinkle pepper over the mushrooms before you add the onions. Salt to taste. (Easy on the salt when you make the pizza for the first time. You can always add more once it is done.)
- Top it all with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the pizza in the oven for 30min or until the cheese has melted and is the colour you like it to be. Enjoy!

Toppings
This is just like a normal pizza. You can top it with anything you want. Don’t have any pesto or not a fan? Use tomato paste (no added sugar) or some Tomato Mozzarella Sauce. And top the pizza with anything you like! No mozzarella at hand? Emmental, gouda and cheddar also work well.
