• Mozzarella cheese (shredded) - 1 cup (100 grams)
• Cream cheese - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Prepare the pork belly by cutting it into small cubes and seasoning with salt and black pepper.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pork belly until crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded mozzarella, cream cheese, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
5. Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and press it into a round pizza shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden and firm.
7. Spread the sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over the baked crust.
8. Top the sauce with the crispy pork belly, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
9. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.
