Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (sugar-free)
- 5 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 1 piece Roma tomatoes (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 10 slices Pepperoni (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and can be easily stirred together.
Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to the cheese mixture. Stir everything until a dough starts to form. You may need to knead it a bit with your hands. If too sticky, sprinkle a bit more almond flour until manageable.
Place the dough in the center of the prepared parchment paper and, using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten it into a circular crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free marinara sauce evenly over the top, leaving a bit of space for the crust.
Add sliced Roma tomatoes and fresh basil leaves over the sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. If using pepperoni, distribute it evenly over the pizza.
Drizzle olive oil over the toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the toppings are heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve fresh with a garnish of extra basil if desired.
