Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Use high-quality mozzarella for the best taste.
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese Softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup almond flour Can substitute with coconut flour, adjust the amount.
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder Helps the crust rise.
  • 1 large egg Bind the crust together.
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances flavor.
Toppings (to taste)
  • Pizza sauce Preferably no-sugar-added.
  • Extra cheese Recommended to achieve that cheesy goodness.
  • Meats (pepperoni, cooked bacon, ground beef, etc.) Choose according to preference.
  • Veggies (green peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.) Load up with your favorites.

Method
 

Prepare the crust
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave until melted, about 2 minutes.
  2. Mix the melted cheeses together until a dough-like texture forms.
  3. Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, egg, and salt until fully combined.
  4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll or press it out into a pizza shape.
  5. Bake the crust on a baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for about 10 minutes or until golden.
  6. If desired, flip the crust halfway through baking for added crunch.
Add toppings
  1. Remove baked crust from the oven and add your desired toppings: sauce, cheese, meats, and veggies.
  2. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8 minutes or until toppings are bubbly and golden.

Notes

Store leftovers tightly wrapped in foil or a container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in a skillet for a crisper base. For longer storage, freeze slices between parchment paper.
