Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened tomato sauce
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella slices
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon oregano
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, or until melted, stirring every 30 seconds to ensure the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the almond flour mixture. Stir until it forms a consistent dough. Knead by hand if necessary to fully incorporate ingredients.
Step 5
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll it out with a rolling pin to form a circle about 10 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
Step 6
Remove the top piece of parchment paper and transfer the dough (with its parchment backing) onto the baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden.
Step 8
Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the unsweetened tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
Step 9
Layer the fresh mozzarella slices over the sauce. Sprinkle with oregano for flavor.
Step 10
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
Remove from oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes, then top with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 12
Slice and serve immediately, enjoying each bite of your Keto Pizza Napoletana.
