❓ FAQ
Q: Can I make this crust dairy-free?
A: Yes! Use dairy-free cheese alternatives and flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water) in place of the egg. The texture will vary slightly.
Q: Can I freeze this pizza?
A: Absolutely. Bake the crust first, let it cool, then freeze. Add toppings and bake when ready to eat.
Q: Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
A: It’s possible, but the ratio changes (use ¼ to ⅓ the amount). Coconut flour is more absorbent, so the texture and taste will differ.
Q: Is this kid-friendly?
A: Yes! Kids love customizing their own side of the pizza with favorite toppings.
