Flax Pizza Crust is an easy homemade pizza base made with ground flaxseed, eggs, olive oil, and simple seasonings. If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional wheat-flour pizza dough, this flaxseed pizza crust offers a convenient way to make pizza using a short list of pantry ingredients.
Unlike conventional pizza dough, this recipe doesn’t require yeast, kneading, or a long rising time. Ground flaxseed meal forms the base, while eggs help bind the ingredients together. Baking powder, oregano, olive oil, and a small amount of sweetener complete the mixture.
The result is a flavorful, flourless pizza crust that you can customize with your favorite toppings.
To get started, preheat your oven to 425°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups of flaxseed meal with salt, oregano, baking powder, and one packet of SweetLeaf Stevia Plus sweetener.
Add three large eggs, half a cup of water, and three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Let the mixture rest for five minutes. This gives the ground flaxseed time to absorb moisture and thicken, making the dough easier to spread.
For preparation, a rimmed nonstick pizza pan on Amazon can help provide an even baking surface. You can also use a greased baking sheet or oiled, oven-safe parchment paper.
Spread the mixture into your desired pizza shape, keeping the thickness relatively even. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through.
Remove the crust from the oven, add your preferred pizza sauce, cheese, vegetables, or other toppings, and return it to the oven until the toppings are heated through.
