Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 1/2 cups
• Egg - 1 large
• Mozzarella cheese - 1 cup, shredded
• Parmesan cheese - 1/4 cup, grated

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
3. Add shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then mix with the egg and olive oil until a dough forms.
4. Press the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a pizza crust.
5. Pre-bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until slightly golden.
6. While the crust is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces.
7. Add sliced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
8. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.
9. Top the sauce with the cooked sausage and peppers, then sprinkle with oregano and black pepper.
10. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the toppings are bubbly and the edges are golden.
