Ingredients

• Almond flour - 150 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Makanek (Lebanese sausage) - 150 grams, sliced
• Bell pepper - 1 small, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2 small, sliced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, cumin, paprika, egg, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray and press the dough into a circular shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until slightly golden.

7. Top with the cooked Makanek, sliced bell pepper, and red onion.
