Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams

• Cream cheese - 30 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Italian seasoning - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Low-sugar pizza sauce - 50 grams
• Pepperoni slices - 50 grams
• Additional shredded mozzarella cheese for topping - 50 grams

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until the mixture is fully melted and combined.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg, then mix until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, shape it into a round pizza crust about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
6. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-sugar pizza sauce evenly over the top.
7. Add the pepperoni slices and sprinkle the additional mozzarella cheese over the pizza.
8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
9. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
