Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese (for crust)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Toppings of choice (pepperoni, cooked sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round oven-safe skillet or springform pan and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond flour, 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds if needed until the cheese is melted.
Quickly mix the cheese mixture with the almond flour until combined. Add the egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, and knead to form a dough. If sticky, you can slightly grease your hands with oil.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared skillet or pan to form a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the baked crust.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, cooked sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, or any low-carb options you prefer.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade low carb deep dish pizza!
