Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce (low carb)
- 4 ounces sliced ham
- 0.5 cup pineapple tidbits (canned, no sugar added, drained)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and smooth. Stir halfway through.
Add 1.5 cups of almond flour, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. You may need to knead by hand if necessary.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and cover with another piece of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness in a round or rectangular shape.
Brush the top of the crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until slightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 0.5 cup of low carb pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Top with 4 ounces of sliced ham, 0.5 cup of drained pineapple tidbits, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
