Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce, sugar-free
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Basil leaves, fresh
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until the cheeses are melted and can be easily mixed. Stir until smooth.
Add almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt to the melted cheese. Mix until well combined. The mixture will be similar to a dough.
Add the egg to the dough and knead it with your hands or stir with a spatula until it forms a smooth, even ball.
Place the dough on the prepared parchment paper and, using your hands or a rolling pin, press and flatten the dough into a 12-inch round pizza crust.
Brush the surface of the crust with olive oil to help it brown in the oven.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over it.
Sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese, and then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly pizza!
