Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup tomato sauce
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
Add the almond flour, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices on top of the sauce.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle with olive oil, then scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top.
Slice and serve the pizza while warm, enjoying a delightful keto-friendly meal.
