Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 15 pepperoni slices
- 8-10 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, or until melted. Stir to combine.
Add 3/4 cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 beaten egg, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a rolling pin, greased with a little oil if needed, to spread the dough into a 10-12 inch circle.
Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 1/2 cup of sugar-free pizza sauce over the top, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly distribute the pepperoni slices on top.
Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
