Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup pizza sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- ½ cup pepperoni slices or your choice of keto-friendly toppings (mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, etc.)
- Fresh basil (optional)
- Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 oz cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until fully melted and combined.
- Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a small, round pizza crust. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the mini pizza crusts in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- While the crusts are baking, prepare your toppings. Slice the pepperoni (or other toppings) and shred the extra mozzarella cheese for the topping layer.
- Once the pizza crusts are done, remove them from the oven and spread a thin layer of sugar-free pizza sauce over each one.
- Top each mini pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese and your chosen toppings.
- Return the mini pizzas to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Allow the pizzas to cool for a minute before serving.
