Tips: 

• Prep Tips: 

  If the dough seems too sticky, oil your hands before shaping it into a round pizza. Alternatively, add more almond meal to the dough.

• Allergies: 

  For a nut-free version: Swap almond meal for coconut flour or a wholemeal flour of choice.

  For a dairy-free option: Swap grated cheese for a vegan cheese alternative or leave it out.

• For Babies:

  Leave out salt.
