Ingredients:
For the crust:
– 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 2 tablespoons cream cheese
– 3/4 cup almond flour
– 1/4 cup coconut flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
For the toppings:
– 1/2 cup low-carb pizza sauce or marinara sauce
– 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, dried oregano, garlic powder, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredient mixture and eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
5. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough and press it down to flatten and spread it into your desired pizza shape.
6. Remove the top parchment paper and bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
7. Once the crust is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Leave the oven on.
8. Spread the low-carb pizza sauce or marinara sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
9. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, and add your desired pizza toppings.
10. Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
