Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup tomato sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 cup additional mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups fresh arugula
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.
Microwave the cheeses in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until they are completely melted and well combined.
Add the almond flour, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to the melted cheese mixture.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a dough forms. You may need to knead the dough with your hands once it cools slightly.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to form a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Remove the top parchment paper.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it's golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spread 1/2 cup of sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of additional mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and additional golden spots appear.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Top with 2 cups of fresh arugula, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese and 0.5 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, if desired.
Slice and serve your Keto Arugula Pizza warm.
