I love pizza. I love the fluffy, tender yet sturdy texture, I love how I can pile up as many toppings as I want, and I love how pizza is totally finger food. What I don’t love is the wheat flour content. So I set out to create a paleo version. I tried everything; cauliflower, eggplant, coconut flour, almond flour, eggs, even ground beef. But nothing was ever quite the same. Until now. This easy-to-make pizza is fluffy and mild, yet sturdy and delicious – you’ll never dream it’s paleo!

Could I substitute almond flour with coconut flour? Just ran out of almond flour. Thanks! Or could I sub with Casava flour? I was going to make the thin crust casava pizza today, but I like the “quickness” of this pizza.
Coconut flour is pretty different than almond flour but you may be able to if you use 1/2 of amount of coconut flour as you would almond flour and you may need to add some extra moisture
