Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (sugar-free)
• 5 pieces Fresh basil leaves
• 1 piece Roma tomatoes (thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 10 slices Pepperoni (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and can be easily stirred together.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to the cheese mixture. Stir everything until a dough starts to form. You may need to knead it a bit with your hands. If too sticky, sprinkle a bit more almond flour until manageable.

Step 4

Place the dough in the center of the prepared parchment paper and, using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten it into a circular crust, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free marinara sauce evenly over the top, leaving a bit of space for the crust.

Step 7

Add sliced Roma tomatoes and fresh basil leaves over the sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. If using pepperoni, distribute it evenly over the pizza.

Step 8

Drizzle olive oil over the toppings.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the toppings are heated through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve fresh with a garnish of extra basil if desired.
