Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup tomato sauce
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir and microwave for an additional 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands to thoroughly combine.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to a 12-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices over the tomato sauce layer.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with olive oil.
Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top before serving.
Cut into slices and serve immediately, enjoying your delicious keto-friendly Pizza Margherita!
