Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.75 cup sugar-free tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated

- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a square baking pan (about 9x9 inches) 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 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds until the cheese is melted and smooth.
Add 2 cups of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the melted cheese. Stir until combined, then add 1 large egg and mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and press it evenly into the corners to form a crust.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and spread 0.75 cup of sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle 0.5 cup of grated parmesan cheese over the sauce, followed by the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add 0.5 cup of pepperoni slices, arranging them evenly over the pizza.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with 0.25 cup of fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
