Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted.
3. Add almond flour, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt to the melted cheese. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a 12-inch circle.
5. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

Add Toppings:

6. Remove crust from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
7. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
8. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
9. Add pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onion as desired.

Final Baking:

10. Return pizza to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
12. Garnish with fresh basil and red pepper flakes if desired.
13. Slice and serve immediately while hot.

Chef's Tips:

• Make sure the cheese mixture is hot when adding almond flour for best texture
• Don't overload with toppings or the crust may become soggy
• For extra crispy crust, pre-bake for an additional 2-3 minutes
• Leftover pizza reheats well in a toaster oven or air fryer
