Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Sheet pan or pizza pan

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!
