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.
