Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and almond flour. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the cheese is completely melted and ingredients are well combined.
- Add the egg and baking powder to the melted cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, uniform dough forms. The mixture might be slightly sticky, so use a spatula or wet hands to work with it.
- Transfer the dough onto the prepared parchment paper. Use your hands or a rolling pin to spread the dough into a thin, circular pizza shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until it turns golden brown and becomes slightly crispy around the edges.
- Remove the crust from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute pepperoni slices uniformly over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pepperoni is slightly crisp and the cheese looks melted.
- Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the crust to set.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot. Optional: Garnish with fresh basil or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
