Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup marinara sauce
- 5 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 8 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
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 shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat for another 30 seconds until the cheeses are completely melted and combined.
Step 3
To the melted cheese, add almond flour, egg, salt, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until a dough forms. You may need to knead it by hand until smooth.
Step 4
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and roll it into a 12-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 5
Remove the top parchment paper and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until it starts to golden.
Step 6
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over it, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 7
Top with sliced fresh mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
Step 8
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving.
Step 10
Slice and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your low-carb authentic Italian pizza!
