Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, almond flour, ground flaxseed, olive oil, egg, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Spread the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a round pizza crust about 1 cm thick.
