Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 pound Ground sausage
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce, sugar-free
- 1 cup Additional mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond flour, 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is mostly melted.
Stir the cheese mixture until well combined, then add the egg, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Lightly grease a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Place the dough in the center and press it out into a circular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until it is slightly golden and firm.
While the crust bakes, brown the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free pizza sauce over the top.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the sauce.
Sprinkle the additional 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese over the sausage.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh basil leaves, if using. Slice and serve hot.
