Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute or until the cheeses are melted and can be stirred together easily.
Stir the almond flour, baking powder, and salt into the cheese mixture until a dough begins to form.
Add the egg and mix well. The dough will be sticky, but continue stirring until fully combined.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and place the dough on it. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and roll out the dough into a round shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
Transfer the rolled dough along with the bottom parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
Using a fork, poke several holes in the surface of the crust to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly on top.
Top with fresh mozzarella cheese slices and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with olive oil.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
