I'm not a huge pizza lover, but my husband is. And after many years of him enjoying his one and only weekly unhealthy indulgence, he was a little sad when discovering gluten was not his friend. Friday night's just weren't the same without pizza. I am happy to say it's been well over a year since he fell face first into a DiGiorno's thanks to the many pizza variations we've come up with using a healthy, gluten-free, low-carb Flatbread Pizza Crust.
Taco Pizza with Flatbread Pizza Crust
I first discovered this recipe in The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam and then again at her website. Elana is a big fan of the Honeyville brand of blanched almond flour, however, I prefer to use my own homemade unblanched almond flour. I have used both, blanched and unblanched and found my flour results in a more crisp crust as well as a “nuttier” flavor. Your imagination is the limit as to how you top this, currently we are on a Taco Pizza kick.
