Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 8 String cheese sticks
- 0.5 cup Keto-friendly pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 15 Pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and combined.
Add 1.5 cups of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt to the melted cheese. Mix thoroughly to form a dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
Arrange 8 string cheese sticks around the edges of the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edge. Fold the dough over the cheese sticks and press to seal, forming the stuffed crust.
Transfer the prepared pizza crust to the lined pizza pan and brush the crust edges with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, until slightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 0.5 cups of keto-friendly pizza sauce over the center of the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by 15 slices of pepperoni or your preferred toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
