Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Mozzarella cheese - 1 cup, shredded
• Cream cheese - 100 grams, softened
• Egg - 1 large
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Char Siu pork - 200 grams, sliced
• Low-carb barbecue sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Green onions - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, egg, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Spread the dough out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a pizza crust about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and firm.
5. While the crust is baking, heat the sliced Char Siu pork in a small skillet over medium heat with sesame oil and low-carb barbecue sauce until warmed through.
6. Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and top it with the warmed Char Siu pork, spreading it evenly.
7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the toppings to heat and flavors to meld.
8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions and cilantro, slice, and serve hot.
