Almond & Flax Pizza Crust

I made the eggplant and goat cheese pizza a few weeks ago and was totally craving more pizza after that night. I made the dough, which was a pretty typical pizza crust and created one pizza on the grill and froze the other crust. We still need to use that crust, but of course, I wanted to make a different type of crust for dinner this past week. Why would I use what’s in the freezer before making something new? That’s just totally asinine, haha! I definitely have issues, so Joe says…

I found this almond & flax pizza crust while searching the internet for new recipes. What caught my eye on this recipe was the fact that almonds were incorporated into the crust! That’s definitely getting a nutritional bang for your buck, right?
