Bake

Can I substitute the almond flour in the dough with coconut flour or another low carb alternative without affecting the texture too much? I love the fluffy crust but need a nut-free option.
I haven’t tried that substitution so I’m not sure if it will work. But I would try using 3/4 cup coconut flour. You don’t have to add as much because coconut flour will absorb more liquid that the almond flour.
How do you keep the cheese from clumping on your mixer? I ended up hand mixing mine. Flavors are good but need some tweaks for my family’s tastes and the dough came out nice and fluffy.
Using a food processer works the best for blending the dough. Glad you liked the recipe.
