01 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
02 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese
03 - 1 cup almond flour
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

# How-To Steps:
01 - Set oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring halfway, until fully melted and smooth.
03 - Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
04 - Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Using lightly oiled hands or a spatula, flatten and spread dough into a 12-inch circle, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
05 - Bake crust for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and crisp at the edges.
06 - Remove crust from oven. Spread tomato sauce evenly, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Arrange pepperoni, olives, and bell pepper, or your choice of toppings.
07 - Return to oven and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling.
08 - Remove from oven. Sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian herbs, slice, and serve hot.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all the crispy-cheesy magic of classic pizza, but none of the carb-coma aftermath.
- This pizza quickly became my weeknight craving saver—ready in barely more than a half hour.
02 -
- Don’t over-microwave the cheeses; scorched mozzarella turns rubbery fast and never blends smoothly again.
- Letting the crust cool for a minute before topping keeps it crisp even when loaded with sauce.
03 -
- Oil your hands well before shaping the dough—sticky hands never make a round pizza.
- Sprinkling cheese around the very edge before baking gives an irresistible, crispy lip.
