🧠 Q&A: Low Carb Sheet Pan Pizza

❓ Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Yes, but you’ll need to adjust. Use ¼ cup coconut flour in place of ¾ cup almond flour, and possibly add an extra egg to keep the dough moist.


❓ Is this pizza keto-friendly?

Absolutely. It’s low in carbs, high in healthy fats, and contains no traditional flour. Be mindful of sauces and toppings to keep it keto.


❓ Can I make the crust ahead of time?

Yes. You can pre-bake the crust and refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze it. Just add toppings and bake when ready.


❓ Can I make this dairy-free?

The crust relies heavily on cheese for structure, so dairy-free alternatives can be tricky. You could try a cauliflower crust or look for dairy-free mozzarella and cream cheese alternatives, though the texture might differ.


❓ How many carbs per slice?

This depends on your toppings, but the base crust (divided into 6 servings) is about 3–4g net carbs per slice without toppings. Always check your specific ingredients.
