Upgrade your pizza game with this guilt-free Vegan Almond Flour Pizza Crust (No Yeast). It is a healthy and yet delicious alternative to the traditional pizza with being easy, quick and flavorful.
Preheat the oven at 350 degree Fahrenheit. Prepare a small pizza pan with a parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, oats, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, basil, oregano. Mix it well with a spoon.
Add water and knead it gently to form a dough. The dough should bind itself.
Place the dough on the prepared pizza pan and place another parchment paper on top of the dough. With a rolling pin, roll the dough flat through the parchment paper. When the edges crack and the dough is half way through flat, remove the top layer of parchment paper. Shape the dough with hands by pressing it from all sides while roughly joining the edges. The base should be about 1/4 inch thickness and about 8 inch in diameter. Do not over do this step. Do not join the edges super perfect. Let the edges be slightly cracked because this helps the base to be firmer after its baked.
With the help of a fork, gently poke the flat dough all over its top. Grease the top of the base with a cooking spray and place it in the middle rack of the oven for only 8 minutes. Take it out and place it on a flat working counter. Leave the oven on.
Spread your favorite toppings and put it again in the middle rack of the oven to bake for another 10 minutes. Then shift it to the bottom rack of the oven and bake it only for 3-5 minutes or until the edges starts to brown. Turn off the oven and take it out immediately.
Slice it with a pizza cutter or with a knife. Let it settle for few minutes before picking up the slices. This helps in firming up. Enjoy!

Notes
Make sure to spread a thin layer of the sauce on the crust. This pizza will not hold too much toppings.
Use veggies that do not release too much water.
Any cheese works here.
While shaping the dough do not over do it. Its better to leave the edges cracked instead of joining them perfectly. The cracked edges helps this pizza to hold it all together.
Do not overbake the pizza base at any point. It will become crumbly.
This taste best when served immediately. The leftovers if any can be refrigerated for 3-4 days. You may microwave for 20 seconds or oven toast for 2 minutes before serving.
