Ingredients
Scale
2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (low-moisture, part-skim)
2 tbsp Cream Cheese
¾ cup Almond Flour (super-fine blanched)
1 large Egg
½ tsp Xanthan Gum
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Italian Seasoning
¼ tsp Salt
½ cup No-Sugar-Added Pizza Sauce
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
½ cup Pepperoni Slices
½ cup Mushrooms (sliced)
¼ cup Bell Pepper (diced)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Fresh Basil (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Melt the cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth
- Form the dough: Add almond flour, egg, xanthan gum, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a cohesive dough forms
- Press the crust: Roll or press the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into your desired shape
- Pre-bake the crust: Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and firm. Prick with a fork to prevent bubbling
- Add toppings: Spread pizza sauce on the crust, layer with mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, and bell pepper
- Final bake: Bake for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, slice, garnish with basil, and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to use low-moisture mozzarella for the crust to avoid sogginess.
Pre-baking is essential for a crispy base.
