  • Katsuobushi (bonito flakes) - 10 grams
  • Nori (seaweed), shredded - 5 grams
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, and black pepper to form a dough-like mixture.
  3. Spread the dough evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a pizza base, about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Bake the pizza base in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden and firm.
  5. While the base is baking, prepare the topping by mixing diced octopus, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and mayonnaise in a bowl.
  6. Once the pizza base is ready, remove it from the oven and evenly distribute the octopus mixture over the top.
  7. Drizzle takoyaki sauce over the toppings and sprinkle katsuobushi and shredded nori on top.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to heat through and allow the toppings to meld.
  9. Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
