Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Toppings:

  • 1 cup pizza sauce (low-carb)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni, sliced (or your choice of toppings: bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, etc.)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh basil or oregano for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Make the Crust:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the melted cheese mixture and mix until well combined.
    • Add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Shape the Crust:
    • Line a sheet pan (about 13×18 inches) with parchment paper. Spread the dough evenly onto the parchment, forming a rectangle or desired shape, about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Bake the Crust:
    • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Add Toppings:
    • Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by your favorite toppings.
  6. Bake Again:
    • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Serve:
    • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes. Slice into squares or rectangles and garnish with fresh basil or oregano if desired.
