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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake the Crust:
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- 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.
- Bake Again:
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve:
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes. Slice into squares or rectangles and garnish with fresh basil or oregano if desired.
