Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high for about 1 minute, stirring halfway through until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted cheese mixture with 1 cup of almond flour, 1 egg, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, lightly oil your hands to handle it.

Step 6

Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and cover with another sheet. Roll out the dough into a large, thin circle about 10 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 10

Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into thin rounds, and slice the tomatoes into thin rounds as well.

Step 11

Brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the baked crust.

Step 12

Layer the sliced fresh mozzarella and tomatoes on the crust, alternating between them.

Step 13

Bake the pizza in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is just melted.

Step 14

Remove from oven, top with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze.

Step 15

Sprinkle with 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper before serving.
