Prepare and Bake the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Position one rack near the bottom of the oven. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with a little oil or shortening.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and beaten eggs, stirring until a uniform dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared skillet, making sure it reaches the edges.
- Bake the crust on the lower rack for 10 to 14 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the center feels firm.
- Remove the crust from the oven. Spread your desired pizza sauce over it, then add cheese and other toppings. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice and serve warm.

Notes
For a softer crust, bake on the middle rack instead of the lower one. Watch the crust closely during baking, as oven times may vary with different pan sizes or materials. Sprinkle a little cornmeal on the bottom of the pan to help prevent sticking. You can swap the cast-iron skillet for a 9- or 11-inch one, or use a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leftover crust slices can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a toaster oven or skillet. This crust is also excellent as a base for keto-friendly garlic bread or flatbread.
