Tips:
- Use fresh flaxseed. Whole or ground flaxseed can be used to make the crust. If using whole flaxseed, grind it into a fine powder before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Make sure the flaxseed mixture is thick enough. The mixture should be thick enough to hold together when pressed into a ball. If it is too thin, add more flaxseed or water until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Press the flaxseed mixture firmly into the pizza pan. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Keep an eye on the crust to make sure it does not burn.
- Top the crust with your favorite pizza toppings and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
