Give the cauliflower crust and the fathead dough a rest tonight. Try A yeasty dough that can stand up to all of the pizza toppings your heart desires.

Looks Aren’t Everything.

But sometimes it’s nice to look good on the outside AND on the inside.

Take, for example, pizza. It’s cool and all to make a cauliflower crust pizza that’s 40% Parmesan (it’s true, we like it for the cheese), however when it’s flat as a French pancake, it leaves something to be desired. Like, oh I don’t know, a golden crusty crust-handle to hold onto.

The heart wants what the heart wants.  

A Hand(le) to hold

So today we are bringing our friend yeast on board to help us get a rise outta this almond flour crust, complete with a crust-handle that will probably be nibbled and eventually tossed.

You don’t have to eat the handle, to want the handle. 

Rolling In Dough

This definitely isn’t as quick as my heat n’ eat buttery flatbread recipe, but it’s got a crazy awesome texture. Yes, it still tastes like Almond Flour, but it doesn’t taste like cauliflower so it’s a trade-off.

Also, if you are in the mood for a thin, crispy crust, this recipe won’t work! Check out my Thin Crispy Keto Pizza Crust instead. 

I love how crusty and authentic this dough bakes. And don’t even GET ME STARTED on the smell. Yeast makes your kitchen smell like a Parisian Bread Paradise, where everyone eats baguettes and drinks espresso and never has bad hair days.

As if I needed another reason to never leave my kitchen…

Why It Didn’t Rise

Ok, so let’s get down to brass tacks. If you try this recipe and it flops, here are some reasons it could have flopped on ya.

1. Your eggs and/or water weren’t warm. If you put cold eggs or cold water in this mix I can guarantee you it won’t rise. Yeast is a diva that way. *Preheat your oven and while it’s warming, wrap your eggs in a towel and set them near the heat (like on the range top) to take the chill off. 
2. Your yeast has passed to the great pantry in the sky. Yeast is a real living organism and if it is old (or dead) it’s basically an expensive tablespoon of nothing. You can make sure the yeast is alive and well by adding it to water and if it bubbles, we’re in business.
3. Baby, It’s Cold Inside. As you can tell, yeast hates extreme heat and cold. If you try to let your dough rise in a drafty part of your kitchen, you’ll be left eating flat dough that tastes like funky yeast. Cover it lightly with a towel and set it *near* your oven so it’s not too hot or cold. 

Easy Yeast Pizza Dough! {Gluten Free & Low Carb}

Let’s get a rise out of this pizza! 🍕

PIN IT 📌

Usually, this is a job for hands, but for this particular dough
a hand job just won’t get it done.

A stand mixer (or electric hand mixer) does a better job of mixing
this dough than your arms.
Nothing against your arms, they just don’t work that great. 

Remember when I said this was pretty easy? I wasn’t kidding!! You just keep adding stuff into the mixing machine until you run out of ingredients! Shape it into pizza (thinner crust, easier baking) and let it riiisseeee.

This is the BEST part of the pizza making process so get ready.

1. Cover the pan loosely with a towel
2. Place it somewhere warm and shielded from the sun
3. Grab a cocktail and watch tv until it’s done rising.

Finito

Put that puffy pizza crust in the oven and bake it until it’s golden!

Don’t ever skip the first bake. It’s gross and gooey in the center if you
top the raw dough with sauce AND THEN try to bake it. 

Now fill it with cheese and stuff and get it back into that hot oven.

Now is probably a good time for a second cocktail, too.

And that’s all she wrote, folks!

Mostly because she’s had two drinks while slaving over this magnifico dinner…
