Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 pounds Ground sausage
- 0.5 cups Low-carb pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone 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 minute, stir, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Add the almond flour, egg, Italian seasoning, and salt to the cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms. Knead with your hands if necessary to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
Place the dough on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and roll it out into a thin circle or rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Use a fork to prick holes all over the dough to prevent bubbling, then bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the crust is baking, cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-carb pizza sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the sauce, followed by 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the pizza to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
