Calories: 479kcal
Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Pizza Slicer
Ingredients
Crust
- ⅓ cup low-moisture part skim mozzarella cheese shredded
- ¼ cup blanched almond flour
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg yolk
Toppings
- 1½ tbsp pizza sauce no sugar added
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 5 slices pepperoni
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Place an oven rack in the top position. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Make the crust: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, and salt and stir until well blended. Microwave for 25 seconds.
- Knead the dough with your hands for a few seconds. Add the egg yolk while the dough is still warm. Knead until combined and roll into a ball. Form a disk as if you were making a hamburger patty. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and use your hands to press into a circle 5 to 6 inches in diameter and about 1⁄4 inch thick (or use a rolling pin). If the dough cools too much to form properly, place it back in the microwave for 10 seconds.
- Use a fork to poke holes in several places throughout the crust before baking. Bake on the top rack for 8 to 10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven and flip it over. Top the flatter side with the pizza sauce and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Next, add the pepperoni slices, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Sprinkle the pizza with Italian seasoning before serving.
Notes
Feel free to create your own pizza toppings or season the crust with different spices! Fresh basil also complements this recipe really nicely.
