What sort of effect does almond flour have on bgl? I'm thinking of using almond flour to make pizza dough, I made pizza dough last night and my bgl went from 5.6 to 12.3 so for the time being pizza is off limits :(
 
I don't know, but I do know many post problems with pizza, even thoose on Insulin who try to increase Insulin to compenstate.
The carbs along with fats , the affect can last for hours.

I find anything with almond flour in hits my system more slowly. ( I can eat gluten free chocolate brownies for this reason!) The problem is, it's more difficult to roll out, plus I'm not sure I'd go for the flavour in a pizza base. Several people on here do a cauliflower pizza base, (I'm sure there's a recipe on here somewhere, which should pop up if you type it into the search box at the top of the page.)
 
Even better than the cauliflower base is the mozzarella and almond flour one - this has a texture so like takeaway pizza with effectively zero carbs that it's frightening:

I usually add half a block of Boursin in instead of garlic and cream cheese separately.

I find 'real' pizza a nightmare. This one gives me hypos!
 
I had great results with Almond Flour Pastry as a base for a Quiche last week
