Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free tomato sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces Sliced ham
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and can be stirred together easily.
Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the melted cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and, using oiled hands or a piece of oiled parchment paper, flatten it into a round pizza crust shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a fork, prick the surface of the crust to prevent bubbling, then bake it in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until it starts to turn golden around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free tomato sauce over the top, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the sliced ham.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top for additional flavor, if desired.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
