Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, form small meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are browned and cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the pizza crust. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until the cheese is melted and smooth.
Add coconut flour and baking powder to the melted cheese. Stir until it forms a dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin circle, about 10-12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the crust to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick the crust all over with a fork.
Pre-bake the crust in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes until slightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over it.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange the cooked meatballs evenly over the cheese.
Drizzle olive oil over the top and return to the oven.
Bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
