Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese (for crust)
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Toppings of choice (pepperoni, cooked sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round oven-safe skillet or springform pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond flour, 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds if needed until the cheese is melted.

Step 3

Quickly mix the cheese mixture with the almond flour until combined. Add the egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, and knead to form a dough. If sticky, you can slightly grease your hands with oil.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared skillet or pan to form a crust.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the baked crust.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Step 9

Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, cooked sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, or any low-carb options you prefer.

Step 10

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade low carb deep dish pizza!
