Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce (low carb)
- 4 ounces sliced ham
- 0.5 cup pineapple tidbits (canned, no sugar added, drained)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
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 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and smooth. Stir halfway through.
Step 3
Add 1.5 cups of almond flour, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. You may need to knead by hand if necessary.
Step 4
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and cover with another piece of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness in a round or rectangular shape.
Step 5
Brush the top of the crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until slightly golden.
Step 6
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 0.5 cup of low carb pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Step 7
Top with 4 ounces of sliced ham, 0.5 cup of drained pineapple tidbits, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
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
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
