Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce (low-carb)
- 1 cup Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until completely melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Add the melted cheese mixture and combine thoroughly. The mixture will be sticky.
Add the egg to the dough and mix until fully incorporated. Knead the dough by hand or with a spatula until uniform.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. With wet hands, press the dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-carb tomato sauce evenly over it.
Top with fresh mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and black olives.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Cut into 8 slices and enjoy your keto-friendly Italian style pizza.
