Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano (optional)
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 1 cup Your choice of toppings (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.
Microwave the cheese mixture for 1 minute. Stir to combine and microwave for an additional 30 seconds if it is not fully melted.
Add 1.5 cups almond flour, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional), and 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano (optional) to the melted cheese mixture.
Mix everything together with a rubber spatula. If the dough becomes too sticky to handle, lightly oil your hands and knead the mixture into a smooth dough.
Place the dough on the prepared parchment paper and press it out into a pizza crust shape, approximately 10-12 inches in diameter.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 0.5 cup pizza sauce evenly over it, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top the pizza with 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and your choice of toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sliced veggies).
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the pizza to rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your gluten-free, low-carb pizza!
