Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 20 Pepperoni slices
- 10 Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, until the cheese is melted and easy to mix.
Stir the melted cheese mixture until smooth. Add 1 cup of almond flour, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin circle, about 10 inches in diameter.
Remove the top piece of parchment paper and place the dough onto the prepared pizza pan.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until it becomes lightly golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 0.5 cup of sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce, then layer 20 pepperoni slices on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Garnish with about 10 fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
