Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 cup tomato sauce (sugar-free)
• 1 cup additional mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups fresh arugula
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.

Step 3

Microwave the cheeses in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until they are completely melted and well combined.

Step 4

Add the almond flour, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to the melted cheese mixture.

Step 5

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a dough forms. You may need to knead the dough with your hands once it cools slightly.

Step 6

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to form a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Remove the top parchment paper.

Step 8

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it's golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the crust from the oven and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 10

Spread 1/2 cup of sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over the crust.

Step 11

Sprinkle 1 cup of additional mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.

Step 12

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and additional golden spots appear.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 14

Top with 2 cups of fresh arugula, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese and 0.5 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, if desired.

Step 15

Slice and serve your Keto Arugula Pizza warm.
