Sheet pan or pizza pan
- 2 Cups Grated or Mozzarella divided
- ½ Cup Almond Flour (meal)
- 2 Tbsp Cream Cheese
- 1 Egg
- ⅓ Cup Pizza Sauce use a sugar-free keto-approved sauce if needed
Optional Toppings
- Thinly sliced mushrooms, sliced olives, Fresh arugula or basil leaves, to serve
Preheat oven to 375 F and get a 32cm pizza tray or a large sheet pan to have on hand.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups of grated mozzarella cheese with almond meal and cream cheese.
Mix well and microwave for 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted. Immediately add in the egg and using a silicone spatula or your clean hands stir until everything comes together into a dough form.
Compact the dough into a large ball. Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out to a 1/4-inch thick circle.
Remove the top piece of parchment paper and transfer the crust to the prepared pizza tray. Using a fork, poke a few times to prevent bubbling.
Spread pizza sauce all over the crust and top with remaining mozzarella cheese and other toppings of choice.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown on the sides.
Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven. Garnish with fresh arugula or basil leaves, slice and enjoy!
