Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, lupin flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute evenly.
Add olive oil, warm water, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky but pliable dough forms.
Lightly knead the dough for 1-2 minutes, then shape it into an oval or traditional Pinsa shape, about 1 cm thick, directly on the parchment paper.
Pre-bake the Pinsa crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until it firms up slightly and develops a light golden color.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread an even layer of low-carb tomato sauce over it.
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese on top, followed by sliced fresh mozzarella. Optionally, add prosciutto slices for extra flavor.
Return the Pinsa to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
Slice and serve your Low Carb Traditional Italian Pinsa immediately. Enjoy this guilt-free, authentic Italian treat!
