Pizza Bianca

Pizza Bianca is a deliciously creamy and cheesy keto-friendly pizza that features a rich white sauce instead of traditional tomato sauce. Topped with fresh herbs and a blend of mozzarella and ricotta, this dish offers a comforting yet low-carb twist on classic pizza.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 120 grams
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded) - 150 grams
• Cream cheese - 60 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Ricotta cheese - 80 grams
• Fresh basil leaves - a handful (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until fully melted and combined.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the melted cheese mixture and stir until a dough forms.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the dough into a circular shape, about 0.5 cm thick.
5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the ricotta cheese evenly on top.
7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
8. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and let cool slightly before slicing.
