Recipe: Keto Pizza

Ingredients:

For the crust:

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 ounces cream cheese
2/3 cup almond flour
1 large egg
1 tsp Italian seasoning

For the toppings:

1/2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 Italian sausage links, removed from casings
1/3 cup marinara sauce
3 Tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup sliced black olives
8 slices pepperoni

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and bell pepper and cook for four minutes. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until seared and no longer pink, about five minutes.

Make pizza crust: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine two cups shredded mozzarella and cream cheese and microwave until melty, about one minute. Stir in almond flour, egg, and Italian seasoning until fully combined.

Place pizza dough on prepared baking sheet. Using wet hands, spread the dough into an oval shape as thin as dough will allow. Bake 10 minutes.

Use a fork to poke holes in the dough if it has puffed up. Spread marinara sauce over crust and top with three tablespoons mozzarella, sausage mixture, olives, and pepperoni.

Bake until cheese is melty, four to six minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing into eight pieces.
