Yield: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
● 8 ounces (2 cups) pre-shredded part skim mozzarella
● 3 tbsp cream cheese
● 1 cup blanched almond flour
● 2 tsp baking powder
● 1/2 tsp garlic powder
● 1 tsp italian seasoning
● 1 large egg
TOPPINGS
● 1 cup (~4 oz.) mozzarella cheese
● ½ cup pizza or tomato sauce
● 16 slices pepperoni
● Optional: sprinkled oregano
INSTRUCTIONS:
● Sprinkle a clean counter or a large silicone baking mat with almond flour.
● In a large saucepan or microwave, melt the cheese and butter together over low heat until they are melted and can be stirred together (1.5 mins in microwave).
● Remove from heat and add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
● Add the egg and stir everything together until a cohesive forms.
● Use a rubber spatula to really knead the dough together in the pan. It may still contain some streaks of cheese.
● Turn the dough out onto the prepared work surface and knead until uniform. This will only take a little kneading. If your dough is still very sticky, add a tablespoon or two more almond flour and work it in.
Sweet Mozzarella Dough: Leave out garlic powder and add ¼ cup powdered sweetener and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract along with the almond flour.
To make low carb pizza crust:
● Roll the dough out between pieces of parchment paper to 12 inches (0r use a silicone mat on the bottom)
● Remove the top parchment and roll up the edge a little to create a crust
● Transfer the bottom parchment with the dough on it to a cookie sheet or pizza stone
● Bake at 350F for 10 to 15 minutes, until starting to brown and firm up.
● Remove and top with your favourite toppings and bake again until melted and bubbly.
