Does anyone else find this mixture really difficult to deal with, sticky. I prefer your super dough pizza from the Getting Started cookbook
can you use coconut flour instead of almond meal please?
yes but you would need to use less as coconut flour is very absorbent, id try about 1/4 or less even
I just used cauliflower flour. So good!
This one is on high rotation in our house. Super easy to make & so filling & delicious. I also use this dough to wrap around hot dogs & make chilli cheese dogs! Yum!
Yummm!
So good I don’t like real pizza in comparison any more
Made this for the first time and was a huge success!
I made this and it was so sticky that I can’t remove the top sheet. should i have added more than 80g of almond flour perhaps? Bit of a mess at the moment. Have popped it in the oven with the top sheet on… will see if I can remove it after a few mins.
It is much less sticky if you chill it a few minutes, hopefully it worked out for you 🙂
OH thank you it did work out for me. I didn’t let it cool but just left it with the top sheet on for a while and then could peel it off.
First time making it today as was really wanting pizza but didn’t want to put out my good efforts last few weeks and yum! Even my 2 year old asked for seconds! Will be a regular in our house
Thanks so much for letting us know, and its such a versatile dough too!

I add parmesan to the base – makes it more sturdy and better flavour. try adding 50gr to the mozzarella. Freezing it for 30 minutes before the oven makes it better and more evenly cooked. The only issue I have is a soggy middle, so I recommend to spread the toppings more to the sides and avoid the middle.
Fabulous! thanks so much for sharing your tips we will definitely try this
to avoid the soggy middle, try pre bake the base and then add toppings
