Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 pound ground sausage
- 0.5 cup sugar-free pizza sauce
- 0.5 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 cup additional mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until melted, stirring halfway through.
Add 1.5 cups of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the melted cheese mixture. Crack in 1 large egg and mix well until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle using a rolling pin. Discard the top parchment sheet and transfer the dough circle along with the bottom sheet to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 0.5 pound of ground sausage and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Once the crust is baked, spread 0.5 cup of sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Top the sauce with the cooked sausage, spreading it evenly, then add 0.5 cup of pepperoni slices.
Sprinkle 1 cup of additional mozzarella cheese and 0.25 cup of parmesan cheese over the toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.
