Gluten Free Almond & Flax Meal Crust Pizza

Yes, I know, I seem to be obsessed with pizza, right?  The truth of the matter is simply that I love bread and since I am not really eating it anymore (for now), I find myself wanting pizza.  I think it is a great way to feel like you are cheating when you are not.

For those of you following Jorge Cruise’s Belly Fat Cure Fast Track, this is perfect and so Belly Good!

I have posted recipes before for another flax crust pizza and also recently a cauliflower crust pizza.  This recipe is sort of a compilation of what I think worked in each of the recipes.  I substituted about 1/4 of the almond meal with flax meal.  I like the texture and crunch that flax meal lends to the crust.  The almond meal keeps it light!  I know the last time I made this pizza I had thought abut using all almond meal but I find that it doesn’t tend to get as crunchy or hold up as well and it is rich.  I must say the crust was really good this time.  Nice crunch and not dry.  You won’t choke on this like I have heard some have on other recipes, lol.

Here is the recipe:
