Calories: 280kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup sugar-free pizza sauce
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced
- 1 tomato sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F (220C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese for about 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt, and mix until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into a round pizza shape on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Spread the pizza sauce over the crust, and top with fresh mozzarella slices, tomato slices, and basil leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Chef's Tip: Pat the fresh mozzarella and tomato slices dry with a paper towel before topping the pizza - both are watery ingredients that can leave the crust soggy otherwise. Keto Swap: traditional wheat pizza dough is replaced with Fathead dough.
