Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and easy to mix. Stir together until smooth.
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.
Add the melted cheese mixture and egg into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until you have a uniform dough. You may need to knead with your hands if it's difficult to combine with a spoon.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten the dough into your desired pizza shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and use your fingers to gently spread it across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and add your preferred keto-friendly pizza toppings. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until your toppings are cooked and cheese is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
